At least he doesn't have an ego.

Take the paycheck Matt!

I think he stays. He may regret it with Matt Kalil no longer protecting his blindside but I just get the impression he stays. I REALLY hope I am wrong though.

Agreed, feels like he is staying...

I do want another shot at beating him, though.

It's obvious he's going to stay if you take a look at the press conference room. Gag me. http://www.whosay.com/uscathletics/photos/108583

Matt Barkley only stands to gain $2.5 million by going from #5 in '12 to #1 in '13. If he drops from #5 to #10 that is a $7.5 million loss.

----------------

Explain something to me. Why has the media projected them as National Championship title game winners AND Barkley as the Heisman? What the hell is wrong with these people?

That room is a good example of massaging one's own ego.

Autoerotica at it's peak.

Thank goodness the dog & pony show is over. Now the media frenzy will begin about him being the heisman candidate - blah, blah, blah. Can't wait for the Ducks to kick their a$$ in LA & at Autzen next year.

Yep. The real icing on the cake would be if LaMichael James came back!

He isn't. I'd actually be disappointed if he came back since he's already graduated and running backs have such a short life span in the NFL.

Good for Barkley. He'll get his degree and have a chance to potentially compete for a national championship.

USC-Oregon in the Pac-12 championship next year will be freaking epic.

Why does everyone say he has an ego? All successful QB have an "arrogance" and ego but we all make it seem like him out to be TO. Hell, DT's laughing at questions of a QB controversy shows some ego, so why haven't we made comments about his ego?

Even though he is the USC QB, you have to respect what he has done and is doing. He could have transferred at the first mention of sanctions and let the program burn to the ground around him and nobody on the outside would blame him. He spent two seasons there knowing full well he had nothing more to play for than pride and just now passed up NFL riches to play one more season with a bowl a actually a possibility.

I despise him because he is the USC QB but that's it. He is a great QB so him having a perceived ego is fine with me. And when we beat them twice next year, he can take his "ego" to the NFL.
