USC definitely has the best line, I do think Foles is better than Barkley at this exact moment. Probably not next year or perhaps as early as December though, Barkley is freakishly talented.

Are you serious? Not saying ND is any great measuring stick... But Doing it against Washington (I was right about them having the worst pass-defense in the country, hell they made Sully look like an actuall NCAA QB) and Stanford is FAR from doing it against Ohio St and Notre Dame...

I think Foles is good, but he is not at Barkley's level at the moment, that dude is disgustingly good....

Oregon State on the road doesn't count? Notre Dame's defense is comparable if not worse.

As usual it's pretty obvious you don't watch much football - Barkley has looked good in three games this season, two of which came against Wazzu and San Jose State both of which are significantly inferior to UW and Stanford. Barkley was bad against Ohio State and mediocre or worse against Cal. The kid's extremely talented and his upside is much higher than Foles but he's been simply a game manager thus far for USC which is to be expected for a true freshman with those weapons and defense. Foles has had to win games for Arizona due to the defense completely falling apart and our top RB's getting banged up.

I love how every challenge to your opinions turns into an attack, like how now I don't watch or know anything about football becuase I think Barkley is better that Foles

(and for the record, if you asked 100 "knowledgeable" people outside of Tucson, more would agree about Barkley then wouldn't)

Again I am not saying Foles is a bum, but I think he has played out of his mind these past three games... If I am wrong and he continues this pace I will be the first to admit it, but I don't think he will...

You said that after Foles' first game...and his second...and now his third. And you do realize that our offensive coordinator came from Texas Tech right? Foles will have his clunkers like every QB but as kong as he stays healthy in this system he's going to continue putting up big numbers.

Yeah, I'd take Barkley over Foles. Doesn't mean he's a better QB at this exact moment as a true freshman. You could I suppose reference statistics to confirm your novice opinion but of course those would support Nick Foles.

Keep on rolllling ASU.

You must be registered for see images

I'm waiting for the pic of Kyle Williams on the floor after the muffed punt to come up on google images. That will be my avatar for awhile.

If anyone has one (like Mao's -except the more devastated version) please bring to this thread :)
