Week 3's Whooping occurred Saturday in early Saturday evening in Seattle. In a home game against Nebraska, one time Heisman and top NFL draft prospect Jake Locker laid an absolute egg against the Cornhuskers. Locker was 4 of 20 with two picks. Locker may be one of the most over-hyped college football players in the past decade. He was touted as the prize of this years NFL draft entering the season, despite the fact that he has never finished a season ranked in the top-50 overall passer ratings. Last year was easily his best season, when he won 5 games and had a 129.75 passer rating. For comparisons sake, Greg Paulus played PG for the Duke basketball team for 4 years, then entered a graduate program at Syracuse to quarterback the Orange's football team. After 4 years away from football, Paulus registered a passer rating of 132.6 in his only season. Locker may have everything scouts like from a quarterback on paper, but he has yet to showcase that his skills can translate to success on the field. Since Washington's upset of USC early last season, Locker is 4-8 and has not thrown for 300 yards a single time. Locker has a career record of 9-21 and will likely never play in a single bowl game. Here's to Jake's chances at any postseason awards and NFL future.
Week 3 Honorable Mention: Brandon Weeden vs TU's secondary, The future prospects of people who plan for years to attack the Buckeye mascot, odds UNC escapes sanctions this season.
