As I have said would most likely happen for some time now, Matt Barkley has been named the starting QB for USC. No offense to Aaron Corp who was a phenomenal talent in HS at Orange Luthran, Barkley is the real deal. Pro arm strength and composure. It was only a matter of time before Pete named him the started at USC. Had he come in and struggled right away there would have been room for the staff to redshirt him for a year. But with his early entrance and mastering of a very difficult program, it was only a matter of time before he supplanted Corp as the QB. He truly is a rare talent and USC avoided a controversy sometime this season or at the beginning of the next season.
I would not be surprised to see Corp come into the game more often that any other backup under Pete, but Matt is going to really blow people away with his maturity. Neither QB has any real game experience in college so that is a real equalizer.
Mitch Mustain won't take many snaps at USC, but I still think he will be drafted in late rounds and play in the NFL much like another USC backup not so long ago... Mitch is no slouch and given an opportunity in a much less crowded field will show a lot of moxy.
