Matt Barkley vs. Notre Dame 2009

[ciccone39]

I remember before this game some guy outside the stadium yelling through the players entrance gate "pretty boy Matt Barkley...yada you're going down taoday...yada" and Matt Barkley just laughing at him.

[UThornzUT]

wow....the 2009 USC season was a tough one. @ ND, @ Ohio st, @ Washington....and the trojans had a pretty decent season.

[lowryt21]

McCoy would just not go down this game.

[TheOscar401]

he's definitley staying 4 years, since usc's probation will end during matt's senior year, it gives him a chance to get USC a bcs championship and maybe win the heisman

[AndreMoxey1]

If Luck Goes Back And Enter The 2012 Draft I Think Barkley Might Be Draft'd By Miami.

[atm8705]

Hey CG, what song is this???

Thanks!

[Novinte]

2:46 perfect example of a dumb player. Just follow the blocks jeez!

[AndreMoxey1]

@Novinte LoL.I Guest He Didnt Want A T.D

[carlsagandisciple]

i believe Barkley will stay for 4 years. he obviously loves this school like Leinart did.

[trojansrck]

imma miss pete caroll :(

[FightOnSC54]

Barkley=Beast.

[calexrose]

ayles just need to get healthy the tight ends will be great position this year onece everyone gets healthy

[ndwwrestler2]

He kind of looks like a combination of Rich Gannon and Payton Manning. I am not saying he will be as good as either one of those QB's, but his throwing style is kind of similar.

[AndreMoxey1]

@ndwwrestler2 He Reminds He Of Payton,The Way He Shuffles Has Feet.But,He's Way Fast In Speed.

[letsmakeacd5]

Rhett Ellison needs to make bigger plays in 2010

[ABOLERZ243]

matt barkely did good for his freshaman season. i can guarantee that he will be a heisman canidate either his sophmore season or junior season, i like this kid

[phx4lyf]

reminds me a bit of matt stafford. Stafford is like a young favre. the recklessness will be coached out of him

[Bossrah]

He has Brett Favre like pontential

[mhummel6339]

once barkley can play consistently, usc will have a very dominant passing attack

[mrjonsey]

my God Harrison Smith #22 sucks, and Im a ND fan.

[mattmatt679]

@mrjonsey I guess when he was trying to take down Anthony McCoy (#86) he forgot he wan't playing flag football...wrap him up already

[TTUsucks88]

Fuckin rocket arm.

[blaaaaaaah2]

I love how ND just couldn't bring McCoy down no matter how hard they tried.

[1usc2]

I wish he Barkley played like this every game. Man, he had his moments of the freshman blues.

[lilofue]

is he better than sanchez?...still a ways to go tho

[CaliforniasGold]

mark sanchez was a 4th year junior when he was officially the starter.

matt barkley was a true freshman quarterback this last season...

we need to wait at least another season or two before we compare sanchez and barkley.

[xxikaikachickletxx]

Matt Barkley!! <3333

[atm8705]

At 2:40 TE rhett ellison should've followed his blocks and gone to the right straight into the endzone. Wonder how the offense will look with McCoy out and Havili's play questionable.

[carldepp]

matt reminds me of the young favre, btw how big is mc coy. he looks so big!

[laxpapi]

he plays like that he's at least got tickets to NY

[Deuce2you]

Love the video. As of right now, Barkley has to be next season's Heisman front runner.

[wahoobeans]

i love the mccoy-barkley synergy. anthony is a HUGE target down the field.

[bstnchamps02]

and u know whats the scary part, the number one TE in nation committed to USC, hes from vegas, BISHOP GORMAN HS, ive person ally seen him, since i live in vegas, WHAT A BEAST!!!!!

[PlayboiX122]

what the music from?

[1usctroj]

This is a true freshman you're watching, just turned 19 years old. Matt will be the next Heisman Trophy winner out of USC, just watch him develop. By the way, Jimmy C is good...but he is an egotistical arrogant twerp. He is from the same county I live in in SoCal, so I've heard all about him and his ego. What, is he 30 now?

[RonBurgundy209]

I think his most impressive play in this video was the pass at 0:49. That ball was placed right where it should be.

[GoldenTate4Heisman]

The first two throws are bad. The one to McCoy is too high and the throw to Williams is too low. The next two are beautiful. Barkley is going to be a great one.

[IsaacH1273]

At 2:01. How many college football quarterbacks could make that throw?

McCoy couldn't make it, Bradford couldn't make it, and Tebow couldn't make that in his dreams.

[Hlover01]

probably 50% of the college quarterbacks

[GoldenTate4Heisman]

Clausen made a better throw in the third quarter. He threw a bomb fifty-five yards downfield perfectly over Golden Tate's shoulder and in-between two defenders (including two-time All-American Taylor Mays). Not to take anything away from Barkley (he is an amazing QB), but it wasn't that great.

[RonBurgundy209]

Well, Clausen should be making throws like that. That's what a seasoned qb does, right? Barkley was only making his fifth start as a true freshman, so I'm sure by the time he's a junior that he'll be making great throws like the one Clausen made in the third quarter.

[Trojan562]

don't forget you're comparing a true freshman to a seasoned clausen who's only had one good season. barkley's already having a good season as FRESHMAN!

[aggiesbaby]

Matt's a sure thing for the Heisman in the near future...and will be the #1 pick in the NFL draft in three years.

He improves with each game and if he looks THIS good as a true freshman, he's going to be LETHAL in two. College football is going to pray he goes pro asap!

[OTKP]

yeah #22 is horrible ND need to sit him down ASAP

the Tackle attempts on Damien Williams and Stanley Havili in this video was embarrassing

[mrhavana]

Great Job Matt! USC looks like they can roll the rest of the season and kick ass on ANY team

[calexrose]

i would like to see more 4 and 5 wide sets an more screens but know complaints as far as the offense goes this week

[astronautzuke]

what song is this?

[shaunhoward]

When Rojo gets healthy and gets chemistry with Matty, this offense will be explosive

[spartin878]

matt barkley future heisman trophy winner.

[Menlog]

love how out of h.s ayles is supposed to be all that n has done nothing.. when ellison we never heard about n contributes far more than ayles n still barely gets attention

[behemoth6079]

if by "has done nothing" you mean he hasnt caught many passes, youre right. however, he has been a very solid blocker.

[Menlog]

u wanna tell me his blocking is better than ellisons? didnt think so

[behemoth6079]

no, im just saying your "he has done nothing" comment is invalid. i am not comparing him to ellison at all.

[CaliforniasGold]

i don't see why everyone is giving him such a hard time; he's doing all right to me.

[Menlog]

ohh ayles is doing alright to u? how bout that dropped catch in open space, hes definetly got talent.... not

ayles needs to lay off the weed n use the amazin athelticism he has n dont become a waste of talent

[atm8705]

yeah seriously. that dude has made one nice catch this season, other than that, he's been a waste of space on the roster. hope he gets his hair cut, gets his head on straight and does something worthwhile. so far, he just likes to party and be an idiot.

[CaliforniasGold]

look how great anthony mccoy is doing his senior year.... in 2007 when he was a sophomore, he caught only 2 passes for a total of 18 yards. ayles has done much more than that this year. be patient w/ ayles.

[atm8705]

ayles has been injured hasn't he?

[FIGHTON822]

@Menlog Ayles gave up altogether, he is not even a Trojan anymore. He is a Miami Hurricane. You know what that says to me? He was never a true Trojan in the first place and we are better off without him and his distractions.

[stokie510wego]

#22 on Notre Dame looked like the worst player of all time this game. Burned by Williams, dragged 15 yards by McCoy, juked by Havili, got ran over by Bradford, was always getting blocked, and he never was in time to help out the corners in man coverage, especially on the fist McCoy catch and 1st TD by Williams. Why is he still on the team

[boehmann19]

I could not agree with you more. #22 Harrison Smith is flat out terrible. Not only in this game but the whole year. I have been watching every ND game this year and he is never in the right position. He tackles like he`s scared and could`t cover my grandma. And shes dead.

[stokie510wego]

I made a lowlight video of him from this game, but youtube won't let me put it up. His dad must run the tech team...

[NytroxXIII]

YEAH!!!

I was just wondering why you didn't put up that one pass where he threw it to like Damian Williams and it tipped but Ronald Johnson caught the tip? I know it wasn't Matt's "highlight" but that was an awesome catch.

[CaliforniasGold]

I remember that play. I'll be honest, some clips will slip past me that I forget about. I forgot about that one, otherwise I would have put it in.

[Mylar25]

This game literally went down to the last second.

Reminds me of that classic game in 2005 with the famous "Bush Push" remember.

Fight On!

[PJosephFilmsAndTFP]

We are a handful of stupid penalties away from being an unstoppable football team. Fight On!

[comtonalex]

mark who????? fight on barkley!

[raider1892]

*knocks on wood*

[raider1892]

maan not to jinx it or anything but we got the NC in the bag if barkley keeps it up, providing the defense doesn't slip like it did in this game. you can't really tell me that we weren't the best team this saturday. florida and texas looked terrible and in my opinion both got lucky. alabamas the only team playing better than us right now

[IsaacH1273]

right. i'm actually kind of disappointed this thing wasn't like 41-14 like it should've been had we not let them back into the game by 'excessively' celebrating or whatever. If we kept the petal to the medal and really buried 'em, that would've looked really good on national tv the day before bcs rankings come out.

[lourdes7047]

yet again another great highlight vid!

fight on!!!!!!

[IsaacH1273]

great stuff. matt barkley keeps this up for the next 6 games, he will be in the heisman conversation. cuz no one seems to want to step up and take it over.

[Charger4LifeUSC]

heh i dont know dion lewis is looking pretty good at Pittsburgh

[raider1892]

haha I missed the game cause I had to work, whats the first thing I do when I get home? get on californiasgold channel cause I know hes gonna have the highlights up before espn and SCripsit haha thanks for being the most reliable man

[gbltz211]

YEAAAAAAAAAAA
