Great article. Fantastic kid. What more can you say about a kid who rushes for 194 yards and scores 3 TDs but obsesses about the 3rd down he wasn't able to convert?

Absolutely. There's this quote that sums up who he is:
"I feel like if I got the first down, the game ends," Barkley said Wednesday. "I've got to make a play there. Somehow, some way. It was a really great defensive call by USC. They blitzed right into the run. I made a guy miss but I didn't do enough. That's an area where you have to grow. If you want to be elite, you can't fail in those situations."
He might be justified putting it on someone else or at least spreading the blame, but he never goes there. Classy kid.
