Matt Barkley named USC's starting QB

[stoops the eternal pimp]

and during the announcement magically becomes the 4th best quarterback in college football, a davey o brien candidate, a heisman trophy finalist, and the 1st player taken in the 2012 draft


Barkley named Trojans' starterComment Email Print Share Associated Press

LOS ANGELES -- Freshman Matt Barkley has been named No. 4 Southern California's starting quarterback.

Coach Pete Carroll unexpectedly announced his decision Thursday, several hours before practice and two days before USC's mock game.

Barkley was perhaps the nation's most sought-after football recruit last year. The Orange County native graduated from high school one semester early to participate in spring practice at USC.

Sophomore Aaron Corp was named the Trojans' starter out of spring ball, but Barkley took advantage when Corp missed two weeks of workouts after breaking a small bone below his left knee Aug. 10.

Barkley is thought to be the first non-redshirt freshman quarterback to be picked to start a season opener for the Trojans

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Dear Mitch Mustain's momma,

You should of STFU and your son would be starting at an SEC school in a pass oriented offense.

verifying that would require actual reporting and some investigation and thats just too much work

[badger]

They probably don't keep track of that crap, but this makes it newsworthy, not that a top program naming a froshie starting QB at a program that prides itself on making talent sit and wait for years isn't newsworthy in and of itself.

[JLEW1818]

so USC has their QB for the next 3-4 years... get use to hearing his name a bunch by espn

He has to be pretty decent if he beat what they had.

It just happens sometimes.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

well, she completely sabotaged his career at arkansas with her phone calls and constant bitchin about why her boy didn't get to throw the ball 40 times a game despite having felix jones and darren mcfadden in the same backfield....when her phone call conversations and stuff got out, it was all over

Crazy!

Hybl beat out White for the starting job. Not saying Hybl was bad, but White was the better QB.

[SoonerLB]

but, ........ but, ........ Aaron Corp was supposed to be the 10th best QB in the land,

Looks like 'media love' is once again off the mark.

Mel Kiper justs put Barkley No. 1 on his big board.

[CK Sooner]

Mel Kiper justs put Barkley No. 1 on his big board.

I wouldn't be surprised.

[Crucifax Autumn]

So let's get this straight. They just now named a starting QB but the media has them at #4????? Whatever...

[Sirus]

Mel Kiper justs put Barkley No. 1 on his big board.

I don't take anything serious from a guy who still rocks a Conway Twitty hairdo, circa: 1975.

[goingoneight]

You all thought thought the Tebow love-fest was irritating.

Oh, and on one hand I think he's gonna have a great year if he beat Mustain AND Corp, but OTOH, methinks Pete may FINALLY be in for a true rebuilding year. Maybe with two new coordinators, 10 new starters on defense... he's figuring they'll just tough it out this year with a newbie-QB. The PAC 10 is still bad enough they might end up 10-2 again, though. :D

[SoonersBIG7]

I didnt read through everything yet, this might already be mentioned, but someone posted a list of the college quarterback rankings and Corp was number 10? This makes sense...

[Hot Rod]

Mel Kiper justs put Barkley No. 1 on his big board.

That's just turrible. Turrible, turrible, turrible.

[JLEW1818]

LOL!!!

[badger]

Mel Kiper justs put Barkley No. 1 on his big board.

Along with 20 other players. Thus, every one that isn't drafted No. 1 will be considered a "steal" and the team that gets said "steal" will be worthy of uber praise

[goingoneight]

why do people get paid to cover football so poorly?

[JohnnyMack]

Barkley will be the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft. Forgone. Conclusion.

I happen to think it's pretty cool that he's the first true freshman to start for USC. Especially considering that he beat out Mustain and Corp in the process.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I happen to think we're gonna be sick of the guy by mid-season.

[Breadburner]

He just annouced he is entering the draft as we speak......

[Octavian]

wouldn't wanna be taking a true freshman quarterback on the road to Ohio State in the second game of the year


SC is going to be talented all over the field, but that's still rough...especially in Week 2

[stoops the eternal pimp]

i remember OU had to name a new starter right before season and dropped 5 spots just because of it

[JLEW1818]

i remember touring the McAlester prison... and a guy named mad dog was there

[stoops the eternal pimp]

thats my dad

[JLEW1818]

ever been to the Rodeo ?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

no....i don't do rodeos at all, much less one at a rape your booty prison

[JLEW1818]

lol, redneck!

[JohnnyMack]

no....i don't do rodeos at all, much less one at a rape your booty prison

Who are you kidding? You were the "rape your booty prison" pinup bitch of the month in June of 07.

[JLEW1818]

makes me think USC will win a national championship within the next 4 years

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

My favorite thing I heard recently was that "USC has 6 running backs that could start for any team in the country" Who would I take over Chris Brown....none of them

Also got Nutt booted out of there. (Yea that don't sound quite right I know):D

[sooneron]

That's because Nutt was on Dick so much.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

That's because Nutt was on Dick so much.

you guys are forgetting that Johnson was in it for a while but Dick was Nutt's right hand man

[sooneron]

I heard that Nutt liked Johnson's size, but couldn't resist Dick.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Nutt always preferred Dick even though he was smaller and not as strong as Johnson...said he felt better in the pocket

[SoonerTank]

This is freaking hilarious! Spek!!!

[badger]

Too bad Mitch Mustain doesn't have an inuendo sounding name so you could include him in your jokes.

Poor Mitch never gets included in anything :rolleyes:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

thats another thing his momma messed up..a whole season's worth of Dick-Nutt-Johnson Jokes

[badger]

Wait a sec... Mitch sounds like B!tch, and Mustain can be C**stain...

Yay! Mitch can be included in your jokes, just like he can somehow be included in USC's offense despite being a third-stringer!

:rolleyes:

Or third finger and thus, the shocker!!:texan:

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I am sure at some point in everyone's life, they haven't wiped properly and left a small Mustain in their underwear

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Interesting note:

Right now, there are 2 teams that said they will draft Mitch Mustain in the 5th round, even if he doesn't throw a pass...

[JLEW1818]

heard a guy on ESPN say this the other day, and it actually made sense...

Last year, they had a 5th pick in the NFL draft QB, they had a better defense then this year, 3 LB in the top 2 rounds of the draft... The schedule was favorable

This year, Freshman QB, the Defense is not as good, the schedule is not favorable..


3 losses regular season is possible

but some how , some way, usc will still win a share of the Pac 10 title... (tOsu loss would not be be a conference loss)
