It was a hard-fought battle in spring practice between Aaron Corp, Mitch Mustain, and Matt Barkley for the starting quarterback position for the Trojans. See previous coverage, here, here, here, and, here.
WeAreSC is reporting,
Aaron Corp has been named the starting QB coming out of USC spring ball sessions with Matt Barkley as the back-up and Mitch Mustain in the #3 role. The competition will continue into fall camp.
Pete Carroll had been clear that he wanted to name a starting quarterback by the end of spring and lately it had become pretty apparent that Corp would get that nod. The freshman Barkley certainly put some pressure on but the fact that Corp did a great job of keeping on-field mistakes to a minimum (he didn’t have any interceptions through today) was a key factor in giving Corp the nod
With the loss of Mark Sanchez, this competition is great to see.
yojoe Fight On!
