USC quarterback Matt Barkley announced today that he will return to play for USC for his final year. This news has come as a relief and surprise to USC fans and fellow teammates who thought Barkley would carry on to the NFL draft instead. After time to reflect and it run it by friends and family, Barkley has decided otherwise, "to stay and finish what [he] started." Barkley has an outstanding record as quarterback for the USC Trojans, including passing this season for 39 touchdowns. He is certainly a valuable player to the Trojans, and they no doubt will be happy with his decision. -newsbound 12/22/12
