USC's problems this year go far beyond the QB. Their defense gave up something like 48 to Oregon & 56 to Stanford. That's tuff for any QB to overcome. Also their running game lost something when that kid crushed his throat weightlifting. He was more their power back which McKnight isn't. Their QB has looked pretty good and put up some decent numbers. Not to USC's usual standards but he is a true freshman, he has less experience than JJ. What I'd like to see though is if/when Miles gets a new OC that he also gets a good solid QB coach. JJ and probably even JL would benefit immensely and remember Garrett will also be coming up to the plate.

Yet Petey is still considered one of the best. Wait he is having defensive problems with all those 5 star recruits. What is he not coaching them up?

Not to say there is no merit in the JJ not being coached up argument, but I can think of another 19 yr old QB at the helm of a nationally prominent team that is as elite as any other elite team, that is coached by a coach that is regarded as one of the best, that has the same 8-3 record we have in a far inferior conference; yet Miles needs to be fired and not Carroll. I guess Miles is a bafoon and needs to go, and so should Carroll.

He is a true freshman at USC. I'm in no way shape or form supporting Pete Carroll. He is close to the top of the list of the most arrogant coaches in america. Right up there with Tricky Nicky, Stoops and Charlie "hotplate" Weis.

I can tell you they will have Barkley playing at a much higher level next year than JJ is playing at today as a sophmore.
