Who do you want for our Bowl game, Wittek or Barkley?

Max Wittek or Matt Barkley for our bowl game?
2013 will be a big year for alot of reasons at SC, among them:
- Kiffin trying to keep his job.
- Check out the new D with the new coordinator.
- MUST bounce back year.
- Our 1st NEW starting QB in 4 years.
- 1 of the best WRs in college football history takes the field for his last year.
SC might be playing in the Sun Bowl on Dec 31st. Who should our QB be?
No matter If Wittek lights the world on fire vs ND, or if he shows that he needs ALOT of work, for the best interest of 2013, I hope he goes into that season with 2 big game starts under his belt.
Give Barkley's injury time to heal for the combine/workouts.
But what if Barkley is fully healed and ready to go?

To me, the answer is simple. You have to let Barkley play. You cannot allow his Trojan career end being knocked out of a game. Hopefully, whoever we play in whatever bowl game we play in will get shellacked, so that Wittek can get some snaps in the 4th quarter. You gotta let the Seniors go out on a high note, considering how much of a failure this season was.

even if Max pulls out the win vs ND, this is Barkleys team, he deserves the right to finish his last game as the starter if he's injury free.

Barkley. I hope he throws 6 TD's and no picks to get his draft status back on track.

Nah, let him get 7 TD's, so he breaks his own record!

Barkley and there's no argument! He stayed and got us through the bowl bans and, if able, he deserves to start. Hopefully, Wittek AND Kessler will play also!

Ah good find!!!
Let hope Barkley does some work in the 1st 2-3 quarters and pads those #s.
Then Max gets a full 1-2 Qtrs to sling the ball around.

Not even an issue - Matt Barkley all the way.
Here is an interesting trivia question which I don't know the answer to. Name the last full time USC starting quarterback who lost his last career regular season start. Mustain and Corp do not count.
Rob Johnson?

How did Wittek look at the end of the ucla game? I only saw a fumbled snap and then I had to leave the game and I forgot to record the game.
how did his passes look? how did his mobility look?

He escaped the pressure on one play and dumped it off to Curtis for a nice gain. His passes have zip on it.
I read that over the last few weeks, he has been receiving increasing reps in practice with the first team.

Don't think it was Rob Johnson.
Mike Van Raaphorst for an injured Carson Palmer in 2000? Doesn't quite fit "full-time"...
maybe 1997 - QBs were John Fox & Quincy Woods?

no fumbled snap, the snap was snapped into his shins
but he's looked fine out there, nice passes, good zip, accurate

Ya, Max only threw the ball 2 or 3 times.
If I remember correctly he had some happy feet (his adrenalin was probably at a 10) which is understandable .
But he did complete all 2 or 3 off his passes.

How about the quarterback that gives us the best possible chance of winning? Matt's been great but the game should be about winning, not about who deserves to start more.

It shouldn't really be in question.
Barkley has earned the right to that bowl game. He has made some mistakes but it isn't like he has had a horrible career. Statistically it has been better than 99% of the QB's to play in the Pac8,Pac10,Pac12 over the years.
This isn't the NFL. They are student athletes.
Besides, You don't want his last play to be a driving tackle from your crosstown rival in a loss.

With everything that Barkley has done for USC I don't care if Wittek channels the ghost of Lendak and throws 42 TD passes - Barkley finishes his SC career with a win in a bowl game.
Period.

Matt Barkley .... without a doubt if healthy plays in the bowl game.
He has been the face of the program through some difficult times at USC.
#7 will not be forgotten and has earned the right to go out playing in a bowl game.
