It’s because of what he’s done but also what he’s gone through ... It’s probably the darkest USC has ever been if you combine the probation, the sanctions, the fact of (Pete Carroll) suddenly leaving. Matt is leading us back out of that. … He has earned the right to go to a Pac-12 championship game and ...
He’s going to be a top 10 pick ... He’s totally ready to go. He’ll be a franchise quarterback forever for whoever drafts him—and they should be dying to draft him, because with what they’ll see on film and then once they meet him, this is the spokesperson for your franchise. If you draft a quarterback i...
I want Matthew to do whatever he wants to do
They're going to a place that is almost impossible to win in, especially as you get later in the year and the temperature drops and the fans are awesome
That's just game management and they're going to have to do that ... If they can't run the ball, it's over.
The NCAA thing trickled back in
If Andrew Luck is favored to win it, there's no way you can't have Matt Barkley there because of what he's done
Whenever people discuss guys staying and losing money, I think you can’t do that ... Nobody said Matt Leinart was going in the top-three picks.
I haven’t given up [on Barkley staying] ... It’s just going to be a decision … does he want to do something that’s really unique, and he might be the kid to do that. I think 90 percent of kids would not.
To win is one thing, but to win like that is something different altogether ... I’m really excited for our fans and our players.
We'll do a ton of work (on those positions)
There was no way we could know he could be this special
It wasn't about stats ... We didn't have anything else to play for. So we decided we're not letting up. It was our last half of football.
Jesse has great arm strength, a really quick release and has made some really amazing throws
They were really insulted by that ... They even brought it up at halftime. They took it very personal. It was almost as if they were playing against him.
Unless he just wants to do it to be a special Trojan, he is not coming back
The common theme (of the season) is it makes no sense
Robert is an awesome player
Make sure that we're still putting a fence around California ... and dominating the recruiting trail.
They're just really a special group that came together
Dillon Baxter has not been with our program for a while now, in any shape or form ... Nor will he ever be with our program.
There is a lot of clean-up work to do
We get to go into houses and recruit without people worrying about bowl games
