Corp, and Mustain is #3 on the depth chart.  Mustain started at Arkansas, so he must be one pissed off puppy!

Barkley is a very smart and talented QB, but he is only a freshman. This reminds me of when Carroll gave the nod to Leinart, a sophmore, over Matt Cassell back in 2004, and look what happened? I know, Cassell had a breakout season with the Patriots, and Leinart is all but forgotten. Barkely will do OK in the first game against San Jose State, but the following week he is Columbus Ohio to play OSU.

past three years. This year the Trojans are playing in Autzen stadium to play the Ducks. USC still has a stellar defense that excel in rushing the passer. The Trojans will crush the Buckeyes.

USC has a bunch of experienced and talented receivers as well.

Florida did it with Leak and Tebow in 2006.

for the run offense, and Leak for passing? Carroll runs a traditional NFL offense, and platooning is not in his vocabulary. I expect Barkely to do OK against San Jose State, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has problems with Ohio State, Carroll would replace Barkely with Corp in a nanosecond.
