Matt Barkley has been an absolute stud for the USC Trojans in the 2011 college football season. He led the Trojans to a 10-2 record, including a huge win over the Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium. USC is, however, on probation and was not allowed to compete in the inaugural PAC 12 Championship Game or in a bowl. For most of the year, they have been out of the general college football discussion. Therefore, Barkley has also been overlooked. This season, he has completed 308 of 466 pass attempts (69.1% CMP) for 3528 yards, 39 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. His quarterback rating is 161.2. Only recently has his name been brought into the Heisman Trophy discussion and he is making a move up the ladder of Heisman hopefuls. It seems, however, had the Trojans not been on probation, then he would have gotten a lot more attention. In my opinion, he hasn't been given a fair shot, but what do you think?Was Matt Barkley given a fair shot for the Heisman Trophy?
