Barkley fest

Is anybody else a bit miffed at how much credit true freshman QB Matt Barkley is getting for the game winning drive against the Ohio St?
First, don't get me wrong. A 19-year old (or whatever he is) comes in and takes over one of the better programs of the last decade. Wins/snatches the job when Corp goes down in camp. Watches the stable of coutnless 4-5-star running backs that USC has accumulated over the past few years run wild in the opener. Then, throws a couple solid passes clearly set up by the threat of Joe McKnight on the game-winning drive. McKnight(and the defense) was the hero in that game but the media (I'm looking at you ESPN) can't get over the same old story of a cool, young kid from southern California who can toss it around the yard.
Let's back off a second and call it what it was. He did a hell of a job managing a game for a strong defense and a solid running game. And I was impressed by Joe McKnight. They tabbed him as Reggie Bush's replacement and finessed him into the offense in his first 2 seasons. But I liked the tough yards he got on the game winning drive while still doing the things he's known for like catching the ball out of the backfield, etc. He was getting yards after contact and eluding/dragging tacklers. He looked like a running back that can be a home run threat rather than a home run threat that runs the ball some too. Trust me Joe (and Reggie can atest), become a running back first, or else you're just a fast guy.
