" However are ready -- to -- be joined by foxsports.com. College football analyst -- stop the day -- talks and college football after all these years are we finally finally ready to day's other my friend I like Darth Vader and Luke Scott -- I've known you for years prerogatives as one of the most exciting things in my life I don't fronts brought you do know -- not a guy you are yes you it's all through -- it hit that let's let's. Get right to us about your alma mater my alma -- alma mater. USC head coach Pete care. Well in the die each year -- and a true freshman to start quarterback talk about Matt Barkley. We think it's well I think there is like to add the biggest roll the dice and Pete Carroll's career at USC here's a guy. Who really loves his freshman quarterback the quotes -- he's been at about Matt Barkley is. That Matt Barkley is an out liar that Matt Barkley is one of the most -- kids he's ever been around that Matt Barkley is one of those special players. He's ever seen at that position well. That's all -- god we have not seen this did take a -- yet there's no question that Matt Barkley is a big time. Prospect that everybody in the nation knows but there's also no question that he's got a great arm and he's got a little bit of a penchant for throwing interceptions he threw eighteen to senior year at high school. And it brought a whole bunch of camp. Trying to hit the ball at their now the big question about the SE quarterback situation Randy is best. If you playing Matt Barkley because -- in -- to hurt or did Matt Barkley earned the job and that's still at this point. A little bit unclear we're not quite sure why Matt Barkley is getting the start but he's getting the start. If he might never -- backe but what I would do about but he's got enough -- To do that if he starts to get a brawler so this can go either way he can throw a bunch of picks and get replaced fired court what he's healthy or can become the next greatest thing ever. Out of Orange County played quarterback all of Mark Sanchez. All -- Carson Palmer. It's a great story going to be very intriguing when we got that game on campus and on Saturday we're going to roll there. At present Matt Barkley in the country were you surprised though yes I was absolutely surprised because I had never send Pete Pete Carroll. Not start an incumbent you know he's always like to dangle a big freshman prospect much John David booty or Mark Sanchez and then play an incumbent. And not turn the ball over played their deep -- he's a defensive coach let's remember. But that's not the case with Pete Carroll this year he's gone what the true freshman how much is going to let Barkley thought the ball down the field that's a big question we'll see how how that goes our social things seemed somewhat clear and that's -- their quarterback -- vision but it Michigan. We don't know what's going -- things that they could play three quarterbacks on opening day. And give you that before when no I haven't but at the time we haven't seen this dramatic culture change it's going on at Michigan ever I mean they're really trying to drag the big Ted. Kicking and screaming into the 20% -- football and that's Rich Rodriguez is task. And that is not an easy task there's no question about it but there's a few different quarterback that they're looking to play and that's spread offense these guys have to make the right decision. Get rid of the ball and I have to hand the ball up and have to -- run the ball NBA I think when they have to now they have -- CL -- he's the big freshman coming in just like Matt Barkley. Came in a semester early they also have a couple other guys -- young freshmen. In Denard robbed him in kid out of Florida and I don't before the ball. But he's got a great arm and they have nick Sheridan a guy who's run around a little bit last year and started to get so who knows what's going to happen in Michigan in the quarterback situation. It will be interesting to -- but they're going to have to be exciting and run the ball on the football field and ball securities big part of that but. While that's a crazy situation out there that are there really is how long can Rodriguez do -- quarterback -- well I don't know what they're going to have to find somebody eventually but we usually when it comes to a football team at the college level. They don't find their identity don't matter if it's USC Florida or Michigan orgy of struggling. You have to find your identity in the first three games of the football season that would Michigan's going to have to do and they have to go on the field and find a leader because that offense. Really hard to tell about a quarterback and practice you really need to get that guy out. Run the football down the field and I think -- hear of propaganda B in the god because he's the youngest of those like fourth year quarterback Brothers he's got a lot of skill."
" Mean let's get to a program that us seems to have his act together the Florida Gators expect that I've gone for back to back national championships affected. Go for two -- years and actually won. A lock to win the SEC obviously the creation favored to win it all again this year but. They're pre season schedule or play teams like Charleston southern. A Florida international -- mean these kind of teams are prepared you later on for that SEC gras I think that they -- an experienced team that one of the few teams I mean they're still going to happen."
" Find their identity brought you don't get me wrong but they're one of the few teams that they don't they are going into the season they know that they're led by Tim Tebow they have their entire defense back. July like somebody SEC pre season nonconference stuff. No absolutely not Charleston southern Louisiana and road teams like this. But that doesn't change the fact that Florida is the best team in college football. They're the most proven team in college football that one of the most well coached teams in college football that -- the most -- the watching college football because of Tim Tebow. When it's all said and done this year that -- to be back in New -- maybe with another -- probably with another national championship and we're going to be talking about him. The same way we talk about cal Ripken junior we're going to be talking about in the same way we talk about Jerry Rice. -- For Florida but they can absolutely do it and they should do. Patrick -- to you my friend to be -- you after -- easier next week I'll do better off. Yeah. I thought -- pass up. That's correct but the -- it would have to stop and think it's appropriate foxsports.com is your one stop shop for all your college football needs for Patrick -- Sparage. Thanks to look at it."
