And more specifically I didn't see Barkley do too much

Those are examples of three victories in which defense proved to be crucial. But Carroll is blaming Barkley's inefficiency/struggles because the defense didn't come through. Really The Trojans defense held Arizona to 21 points but we still lost.Maybe that is because the offense couldn't score Has anyone looked at it from that perspectiveThat's including you Carroll. The defense did give up 47 points to Oregon and 55 points to Stanford but was all the blame to be put on the defense I didn't see the offense doing much either.And more specifically, I didn't see Barkley do too much.

How does 21/38 for 187 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Oregon sound That's mediocre which is how Barkley's season projected to be. How does 21/31 for 196 passing yards, one touchdown and three interceptions against Stanford sound That's terrible which is how Barkley played most of the time towards the end of the season. Instead of blaming the defense, how about put some of the blame on Barkley Instead of talking about Barkley like he's perfect, why don't you give your other quarterbacks a chance You get a pass now because of all the prior successful years where the Trojans dominated college football and the Pac-10. Another season or two like this and the only competition you'll be dealing with is your job that may be in jeopardy Always compete Please.Those words could not be more false..

On Wednesday night New York Rangers coach John Tortorella was his usual fiery self when talking about their 2-1 loss at home against their number one cross town rivals the New York Islanders. What really bothered Tortorella was that his team who haven’t won in five straight games showed no desperation in the first period as they were outshot 10-3 and trailed 1-0 heading to the second. “The thing that’s unacceptable about tonight’s game, and we’re trying to stay positive around here, trying to work our way through it, but when we play like that for 20 minutes in a game like this in a back-to-back situation, it’s unacceptable,” Tortorella said. “There has to be something done, and we’ll see along the way before (Thursday) night’s game. We’ll see where we go with them.” Meanwhile the Islanders who were coming off a 7-1 drubbing on Monday against the Florida Panthers got goals from Jon Sim and Blake Comeau and a 25 save performance from Dwayne Roloson who came within 55 seconds of recording a shutout. “I don’t care if we win 10-9 or 11-10 or whatever, as long as we win the hockey game,” Roloson said.
