When was the last time USC football won a football game with a backup quarterback replacing an injured starter?

The year was 2007 and the quarterback was Mark Sanchez. He stepped in for John David Booty and led USC to victory against Arizona. Since then, four backups have been called upon to start in place of the injured starter in five games. The Trojans have gone 0-5 in those games.
