Matt Barkley finished 6th in the 2011 Heisman Trophy voting. The quarterback started last season as a borderline candidate at best, but passed for a Pac-12 record 39 touchdowns to streak into the discussion in the final weeks.
Going into 2012, Barkley will start the race from the front of the pack. HeismanPundit.com listed the USC senior quarterback as the preseason favorite.
"Barkley returns for his senior year as the front runner for the 2012 Heisman. He's got perhaps the best receiving corps in the history of college football catching his passes, so you know his numbers will be stellar. However, he must beat the expectations game or voters could eventually turn on him like they did Andrew Luck."
