Matt Barkley will start Saturday's game against Washington State, Coach Pete Carroll announced after practice Wednesday.
Eleven days after suffering a bruise in his right shoulder, Barkley took almost all the reps with the first-team offense Wednesday and completed a full practice for the first time since the injury.
"He's ready to go," Carroll said. "It's clear he had a very good day today.
"Off and running we go."
Carroll said both Aaron Corp, who started Saturday in place of Barkley, and Mitch Mustain would be ready if Barkley "has any problems" leading up to or during USC's Pac-10 home opener on Saturday night at the Coliseum.
