SI ranked the dawgs as having the toughest schedule in the nation last year.

Ducks coach Mike Bellotti called Locker "one of the most difficult athletes to defend in college football."


"He ran a quarterback sneak against us and knocked the pile back eight yards -- we couldn't tackle him," Bellotti said. "He'll run over you. He'll break tackles. He's a legitimate threat with the ball in his hands. He may be the best running quarterback in the nation. And he's fast -- he's 235 pounds running a 4.3. It's an amazing deal."
