08:16 AM ET 10.26 | The words Matt Barkley spoke on a national radio show Tuesday likely sang to USC fans. The promise of a "special" season has [Barkley] considering the possibility of returning for his senior year. ... [Barkley said] that he faces a "tough decision" come December -- one that's about "a lot more than just football." "It'll be a family decision as much as a business decision," the Mater Dei High grad said. "There are still a lot of unknowns. We could really have something special with our team at USC, contending for a bowl game, a championship. A lot of our guys on offense will be back. Right now, I still see the cons and pros of both. Mostly a lot of pros in both."

Isn't USC about to see a drop in talent because of the scolly losses or are they still landing the best recruits?

This guy should definitely stay for his Sr. year

Was this before or after he showed what a low class sportsman he is by saying ND gave up at the end of the game? Loser! He's already had 2 questions comments like this one this year...just go to the NFL where they just fine you for dumb comments and breaking minor rules, not suspend you.

No kidding... SC fan on LUS board said he isnt as fast as they made it seem...

Well they say that now after he left. Teo is great, but every since he picked ND over USC, most condom homers say he sucks...hahaha! Right!!!

I think he should stay though! I want a rematch next year since we didn't get a fair shot this year with Crist on the bench and all. If he started and played the whole game, ND woulda won by 4!

If he is a number one pick he should go to the NFL asap.

Barkley will wait until the end of the season. Then get a NFL draft estimate and then decide.
