The USC defense made it rough on rising freshman quarterback Matt Barkley in Monday's night's scrimmage before about 2,000 fans at the Coliseum.

Barkley was 5 of 18 for 109 yards passing. Mitch Mustain went 10 of 16 for 108 yards and a touchdown.

"Mitch has really come to life now," Trojans coach Pete Carroll told the USC RipsIt blog.

Joe McKnight led the running backs with 77 yards on six carries, including a 54-yard run. He also returned a punt 78 yards for a touchdown against a scout team. Ronald Johnson returned a kickoff 99 yards for a TD, also against a scout team.

Here are the stats from the scrimmage.
