     You seem to have FORGOTTEN that MATT BARKLEY has a personal reason to excel against the color changing ASU Sun Devils
     
     
     USC will light them up!
     
     

     "Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley called out Sun Devils linebacker Vontaze Burfict for going extracurricular on the football field. Baxter Holmes of the Los Angeles Times has more.

     Barkley isn't much of a Burfict fan.
     
     "He's a dirty player," the quarterback said, basing his opinion on what he suggests were efforts by the linebacker to injure him by diving at his knees during a high school game.
     
     "His switch is always on. And it's not a good switch."

     I'm sure Barkley is the first person to ever call Burfict dirty. Who would have ever thought a player who draws countless unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and lays flagrantly huge and sometimes extraneous hits on offensive playmakers would be considered a football outlaw?

     Outside the Barkley accusation is a pretty sobering story on how Burfict grew up in a tumultuous neighborhood, came very close to death on multiple occasions, and channeled most of his rage into the football field. It's easy to see why Burfict is the way he is.

     Barkley has to be ready for that dirty player on Saturday when USC takes on ASU, because there's no doubt Burfict will be gunning for him.
