QB Matchup

The Davey O’Brien Award lists Matt Barkley vs. Kevin Riley as one of the “notable” quarterback matchups this week.
But it’s “Marquee Matchup” is Washington’s Jake Locker vs. Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen.
“He’s a frontline quarterback,” Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said of Locker. “He can make the tough throws. All you have to do is see the last drive of the USC game and you know that kid is a play maker.”
