Time to answer a few more questions.

Did Pat Haden seriously consider suspending Marc Tyler for the season for his antics?

A: He considered a stiffer penalty but Tyler’s case with student conduct caused everyone to wait and see what develops. That is a reason Tyler’s announced punishment was left open. If student conduct does not suspend him further and Haden-Lane Kiffin feel he is not doing what they want to redeem himself, they will add to the suspension.

With a plethora of capable receivers and a sudden lack of reliable running backs; did Matt Barkley’s Heisman odds just go up?

A: I’ve always believed his Heisman hopes rest more on his decision making than anything else. You could also say USC’s defense will play a role since team success always factors in. I think Lane Kiffin wants to be balanced between the run/pass and none of the backs looked significantly more important than the others in spring practice, so tailback-by-committee might be this year’s approach no matter who is eligible.
