Do you ever feel like somebody’s watching you?
In the case of Aaron Corp, Mitch Mustain, Matt Barkley and Garrett Green, one website is watching their every move. Then the website logs it, plugs it into a formula and spits out a number similar to the NCAA quarterback ranking.
As the four USC quarterbacks battle for the starting job next season, USCFootball.com (part of the Rivals network) is tracking the group’s performance in every practice and even splits the results between 7-on-7 drills and 11-on-11 drills.
Statistically speaking, Corp was the most consistent in the first spring practice, held Saturday, grading out at a 126.17 overall. Mustain had a very high score in 7-on-7 drills but struggled in 11-on-11. He had a 114.38 overall, followed by Barkley at 111.73. Green was slightly off the pace at 96.09. The rankings are available as part of a free preview but will be available only to subscribers once camp gets further along.
