Southern California Trojans QB Matt Barkley agrees with coach Lane Kiffin's criticism - ESPN

LOS ANGELES -- USC quarterback Matt Barkley said Tuesday he is glad his head coach publicly critiqued his play from Saturday's surprising loss to Stanford.

Trojans coach Lane Kiffin said over the weekend that Barkley made some "really poor decisions" in USC's 21-14 loss to the Cardinal at Stanford Stadium.

"Yeah, I made some poor decisions," Barkley said after the Trojans practiced on Tuesday. "But that's why you watch the film and learn from it."

After reviewing the film from the game, Kiffin said in a Sunday evening conference call with reporters that Barkley made "probably two of his worst decisions in our three years together."

Asked about that comment on Tuesday, Barkley said he appreciated the honesty.

"He's going to be real, you know?" Barkley said. "He is going to defend me when he has to and he's going to be real when he has to. I'm glad he's not hiding me behind a curtain or anything like that.

"I know what I did. It's not like he's making fun of me or something to the public."

Barkley said the Stanford loss took him by surprise.

"I wasn't expecting that," he said. "I didn't think that was going to happen this year."

But, he said, he deserves much of the blame for the loss.

"It's my team and my offense, so I know we are responsible for doing more than that and we're capable of more than that," Barkley said.

They have no running game. That's the problem. Stanford just didn't respect it. Toward the end Stanford just said F it and just went all out blitzing.

Yes They Do, Kiffin Refuses To Make It Primary. McNeal gutted stanford last year and should have had 20 carried min

Cal's QB and FG kicker is ass cheeks though, their running game will have to play top notch
