College

Corp was redshirted during the 2007 season, and entered the 2008 season as a possible back-up for starting quarterback Mark Sanchez, alongside Arkansas transfer Mitch Mustain.

During fall camp before the 2008 season, Sanchez suffered a dislocated left kneecap while warming up for practice; the injury sidelined Sanchez and threw his availability for the season opener at Virginia (and beyond) into question. As a result, Mustain and Corp began alternating repetitions with the first team offense and competing for the possible starting spot.Gary Klein, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-sanchez9-2008aug09,0,2472162.story Mark Sanchez's knee injury muddies waters at USC] , "Los Angeles Times", August 9, 2008, Accessed August 11, 2008.] Gary Klein, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-usc10-2008aug10,0,2265071.story Mitch Mustain, Aaron Corp battle for starting spot] , "Los Angeles Times", August 10, 2008, Accessed August 11, 2008.] Ted Miller, [http://myespn.go.com/blogs/pac10/0-1-191/QB-intrigue-continues-at-USC.html QB intrigue continues at USC] , ESPN.com, August 18, 2008, Accessed August 18, 2008.] After missing nearly three weeks, Sanchez was cleared to play in the opener on the final day of fall camp; Corp was selected as his back-up because he demonstrated a better command of the offense.Gary Klein, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-usc27-2008aug27,0,5692225.story USC quarterback Mark Sanchez has uneven practice, is cleared to play] , "Los Angeles Times", August 27, 2008, Accessed August 27, 2008.] Gary Klein, [http://www.latimes.com/sports/college/usc/la-sp-usc28-2008aug28,0,1474056.story Aaron Corp set to back up quarterback Mark Sanchez at USC] , "Los Angeles Times", August 28, 2008, Accessed August 29, 2008.]
