It shouldn't come as a surprise that Matt Leinart is backing the USC Trojans. After all, he played for the program for five years, winning both the BCS Championship and the Heisman Trophy in 2004. However, the reasoning behind his most recent message of support for his alma mater against Notre Dame football is lackluster at best.
While defending the Trojans after USC and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish decided to end their long-lived rivalry series, Leinart brought up the fact that his team can claim more Heisman winners than any other program in the country.
