So was TP. Didn't help him much in that clutch situation against PSU. Not doggin on TP, but I am saying there is no substitute for experience.
Difference is Barkley enrolled during spring I believe. He played srping ball, spring practice, spring game & had the playbook in spring.
Pryor practice only one month. Barkley has been with USC since January. Big difference. Even though I agree that it's not good with no game experience.
By the time TP played PSU, he had a few games under his belt. This included a high pressure situation (@ Wisky) where he emerged victorious. That was obviously a confidence booster for him. Barkley does not have this. Sure, he has had the advantage of early enrollment, spring drills, etc, but grasping the system wasn't TPs problem. There were lessons he had to learn that only the school of hard knocks could teach him. Same goes for Barkley. Think back to Colt McCoy. Great QB, but he made some poor reads as a TF when pressured.

That is true but I still think Barkley is a lot more prepare to be a starting QB as a TF than tons of other QB that have done it.
The dude can play. Very smart.
Now I agree that I wouldn't want a TF starting because there is still lots to learn but USC won't be out of it if he is the starting QB.
When I was at the YMCA today on ESPN they said Corp will be out 1-2 weeks. Hopefully 2. haha. 2 weeks = Aug 26 = 17days till the OSU/USC game. Less time the better I guess. haha

I know I been giving Barkley props but that is because he is very smart, good pocket passer, enrolled in Jan, and is on USC with lots of talent.
But like you said and I agree you never want a TF QB under center. I said it last year TP.
Barkley at QB with USC can still beat OSU. But if I'm a USC fan I want Corp under center just cause like you said has a little more experience. But if he can't go the good thing for USC is Barkley has been there since Jan and knows a little more than most TF QB under center.
