DT Jurrell Casey, USC (6'1, 305) -- The one Trojan defender who repeatedly got after it. He's bounced from nose to three technique in recent weeks and played the latter against Washington -- which I believe is his best position. Exploded through his gap all night, athletic, and really does a great job of getting low and shedding blocks. Could be a big riser for 4-3 teams in April.

QB Jake Locker, Washington (6'3, 226) -- Missed two easy touchdowns inside the 15 but his receivers didn't help him much this game (tons of drops). At his best on play-action, especially when he rolls out (waggle!) and halves the field. Conversely, he doesn't look comfortable at all under center...very mechanical, and it's like you can see him over-thinking every one of his movements.

RB Chris Polk, Washington (5'11, 210) -- Upright runner and not exciting. Played volleyball with a couple passes and didn't do much to distinguish himself from the dime-a-dozen backs in college.
