is getting a raw deal at USC. That “somebody” is L.A. Times Columnist T.J. Simers. From the piece:
“He’s our third-string quarterback,” said Carroll in stating the obvious, Barkley taking the bulk of first-team snaps Monday and Corp all the others.
“And that’s it,” Carroll said.
When Corp struggled against Washington, Barkley began warming up. Mustain was catching his passes.
“I asked both of them to warm up,” Carroll said. “I asked Matt how he felt, and he wasn’t loose. When he couldn’t get his arm going we stuck with Aaron.”
Did you ask Mitch how he was doing?
“I already knew,” Carroll said, and at 100%, it wasn’t good enough to get him into the game. Makes you wonder if Corp got hurt, if they’d send in Barkley — sling and all.
“I’m watching practice every day,” said Carroll, a nice way of saying he’s seen enough of Mustain and it isn’t enough to warrant a promotion.
