I have said it before and I will say it again; Jake Locker is better than Tim Tebow. Every one should know who Jake Locker is now. Locker upset the number three ranked USC Trojans just days ago. Locker He led a 60 plus yard plus drive to set kicker Eric Folk up for a game winning field goal to beat the Trojans.

 

What a difference one player makes! Last year Locker entered 2008 with a bad hamstring and after 3 1/2 games he was lost for the season with a broken thumb. The Huskies went down fast and fell to 0-12, and finished as the worst team in 2008.

 

Then 2009 came and the Huskies went to battle with number #11 ranked LSU. I knew it would be better with Locker taking snaps and not Ronnie Fouch (Locker's backup) but how would he fare against a tough defense? He fared well as the Huskies were beaten 31-23, Locker would throw for 321 yards, 3 TD, 1int. He was 25-45 with a completion percentage of 55.6. The Huskies would then take on Idaho and beat them 42-23. Idaho may not be very good but a win is a win. Locker threw for 253 yards, completed 17-25 of his passes, and threw two touchdowns and rush for another score. Then would come a huge task for Locker and the Washington Huskies, the #3 USC Trojans. Washington would be 20+ point underdogs and USC was coming of a huge victory over Ohio State. Washington would beat USC 16-13. Locker threw for 253 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, and rushed for a touchdown completing 60.0 of his passes. Lockers stats; (3 games played) 63-105, 811 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT, and 2 rushing touchdowns with a completion percentage of 60%. www.sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId

Tebow started out his season against Charleston winning 63-3, going 10-15, 188 yards, 66.7%, and 1 touchdown and 0 INT, and 1 rushing touchdown. The Gators would then host Troy, and Tebow would play lights out, going 15-24, 237 yards, 62.5% and 4 TD, and 0 INT, 1 rushing touchdown. Then would come the Gators toughest game this far Tennessee. The Gators were favored by over 20 points and would win 23-13. Tebow would go 14-19, 115 yards 73.7%, 0 TD, 1 INT, and one rushing Touchdown. Tebow’s stats; (3 games played) 39-58, 540 yards, 67.2%.
