Jake Locker’s Pyrrhic victory
In: NCAA football
31 Dec 2010So this is what Jake Locker came back to school for? To lead a 6-6 Washington team to a win over a disinterested Nebraska squad in a snoozer of a Holiday Bowl? Well, good for you, I guess, Jake. You threw away $30 million to say that you led the Huskies back to prominence (?) by [...]
