Matt Barkley will not play in Sun Bowl

Might as well start Wittek. He will get a lot more benefit from playing the bowl game than Barkley would.

Sorry to hear that he won't be playing. I think he will do well in the NFL, though.

Thanks for 4 years Matt, and for sticking with the program even though you could have gone for greener pastures. Good luck on Sundays!!!

Agreed Ice. He has been a class act and I hope he does well at the next level...!

Geeze, now the Sun Bowl just got really interesting... not.

UCLA got totally smoked in the Holiday Bowl tonite, so I guess Santa didn't forget about me afterall. 1 down, 2 to go.

Watching the Bruins wallow around tonite and return to the embarrassment that is Bruin Football, really made me realize what a lost season this was for the Trojans. It seems like it all went down the tubes when they took Stanford for granted on the hallowed grounds of the Farm in late September. They just quit. They could easily have found themselves in the same position as Notre Dame this season, whizzing by a bunch of lower mid-level teams and coasting to an undefeated season. They just weren't motivated on defense, and really, Barkley cost them the UCLA game with his recurring interceptions throughout the first half. What a way to end your college career. I guess the Jets will finally get a superbowl championship with Barkley at the helm.

You talk as if this were unexpected--Barkley was among the national leaders in interceptions this year.

Is this part of a scorched earth policy?

Nah...it's usual "sling <hit and see where it sticks" trolling policy

He should have left for the NFL last year. Now he is screwed and lost millions because of not leaving early.
