08:21 AM ET 12.18 | Though neither is expected to play in USC's New Year's Eve bowl game, eyes are nonetheless on Max Wittek and Cody Kessler. Coach Lane Kiffin said he expects [Matt Barkley] to play in the Sun Bowl, but said Barkley won't practice until the team arrives in El Paso on Dec. 26.That would give Barkley five practices, at most, to get ready for game action after more than a month off. ... USC is treating these non-Barkley practices as a spring preview. Wittek and Kessler, both redshirt freshmen, shared reps with the first-team linemen and receivers in practice Saturday and will do so throughout the next couple weeks. The competition will be open in the spring, with Wittek and Kessler likely to be joined by highly touted recruit Max Browne.

Doesnt matter.. Kiffin still the HC

Yeah but there is only one Kiffin now so they might have a chance.

Now if Layla were to join the staff, instant NC.

(I may get a nasty note for that one.)

Lame may surpass Mack Brown as far as doing the least with the most talent.

I thought Wittek looked pretty good in his outing... Granted it was a loss, but he certainly showed promise. What is it about Kessler that makes this a slam dunk in your estimation?

One Kiffin is still one too many when it is the younger that is left on the staff!

She would be a cool administrative HC. She would be a big plus recruiting, and get USCw plenty of TV time...

What's Coach Kiffin wearing on the sidelines, today, Bob?
