We all saw Barkley making the line calls and checks--it was a game effort, and it was really just 7+ pts shy of a winning effort--but you can't replace a guy like Holmes for sheer physicality/talent and pre-snap execution.  They'll get Holmes back, abuse the rest of their scheduled opponents, and end up in the Pac-12 title game against a worthy opponent and a bowl game...they'll be fine.
