Probably one of my favorite headlines from the newspapers this morning was asking if head coach of the USC Trojans football team Pete Carroll team had gone off the deep end in naming true Freshman Matt Barkley the starting QB for one of the best college football teams in the nation...
Personally I think Aaron Corp would have made a better QB for the Trojans this season but that was before he got injured and one of the things that I keep hearing about Barkley getting named the starter is that Aaron Corp did not come back with the same mobility he had before his knee injury and that it would be a while before he regained it. I think that played a big factor in Pete Carroll naming Barkley the starter.
Aaron Corp was able to make a competition out of it in the Spring because he was playing nearly mistake free football, because he added a new threat to the offense with his ability to run and because Barkley wasn't doing anything spectacular as a matter of fact he threw plenty of picks this Spring...
But then Corp got injured and that pretty much changed everything.
Matt Barkley has been around since the Spring of this year as he enrolled early to get an early start with the learning of the offense and from what I hear the kid, 19, is a Carson Palmer prototype. He's a big guy with a canon for an arm and he can make all the throws on the field to stretch out the defense.
The USC Trojans have an NFL offensive line and they also have about 6 quality tail backs on their roster so that should take plenty of the pressure off of first year QB Matt Barkley.
USC starts the season against San Jose State on Sept. 5 but then plays Ohio State at Ohio State the following week. Mark your calendars because this game on Sept. 12 and the game against Cal on Oct. 3 will make or break the USC Trojans season! Somewhere Mitch Mustain is dreading the fact that he transferred to USC to play QB...
