The USC Trojans finished spring workouts without indicating which quarterback has the edge to succeed Matt Barkley as the starter in 2013, but even though it’s officially a three-way race for the job, the smart money says Max Browne won’t follow in Barkley’s footsteps and become USC’s next true freshman starter.

Matt Barkley decided to come back to the USC Trojans for his senior season instead of entering the 2012 NFL Draft to complete some “unfinished business.” At the end of the day, though, Barkley simply succeeded in torpedoing his draft stock, tumbling from a sure-fire first round pick in 2012 to a fourth-round selection by [...]
