USC Atheltic Director Disappointed That "Barkley 4 Heisman" Didn't Come Sooner

 

Matt Barkley is just now joining into the Heisman voting, as he is one of the finalists along with Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. However, USC athletic director, Pat Haden, is disappointed that "Barkley 4 Heisman" campaign didn't come sooner. 

Barkley did not have any video or press packet for the Heisman until this week, despite his strong showing this month. 

"There's buzz now, but he's been playing great for a good month," Haden said. "He's been playing sensationally and he's clearly done his part, so I wish I would have initiated it earlier, thought about pushing it earlier. 

"But it is what it is, and he's getting some good traction and he's certainly worthy of consideration. It's up to him to play great Saturday night."

Barkley has been playing solid so far, with 3,105 passing yards along with 33 touchdowns and only seven picks as the Trojans stand with a 9-2 record so far this year.
