USC quarterback Matt Barkley surprised many in the college football world by announcing he will come back for his senior season, and predictably Trojan honk is feeling pretty good about their chances next year. And why not? The nucleus of that team is coming back, and will be a year better. You might as well hand over the Heisman now, because he will be putting up ridiculous numbers with probably the best one-two tandem at receiver in the country in Woods and Lee.
SC will probably be the odds on favorite to win the Pac 12 next year, which is fine with me. Let the Ducks fly under the radar (no pun intended) for once. Its been a while since they have. I think it's better that they will no longer be the hunted, it'll make them more hungry for a fourth straight conference title.
One thing I know, is that this will make the conference race much better next year, and it will get the national recognition it deserves. We'll finally see the championship match up the conference deserves...the type of match up we should've seen this year if it weren't for the sanctions against SC. A match up between the top two programs of the conference over the past decade. SC and Oregon is becoming sort of a rivalry.
With that said, I still can't stand Barkley...he's a douche. Wasn't it great that he held a press conference on national tv to announce he was coming back for one more year? Complete with a band, cheerleaders, and a pretty little Christmas tree lit up in the background. Only thing missing was him wearing one of those ugly Christmas sweaters. I can just see him wearing one of those.
Lastly, Kellen Moore and Boise State CRUSHED Arizona State last night in the Las Vegas Bowl, giving Moore his 50th career win. Impressive...kind of. Again, when you play the type of schedule Boise State does, and consider the fact that teams these days play more games a year, than 20-30 years ago, the feat becomes less impressive.
