I think Jake was a great guy and a wonderful person. But this isn't the Great Guys Hall of Fame.RoadDawg55 said:
7,639 yards and 53 td passes/ 35 INTs over 4 years.
W-L Records during UW career:
2007: 4-9
2008: 0-12
2009: 5-7
2010: 7-6
Highlights:
Beat #3 USC in 2009
Beat USC on the road in 2010
Beat Nebraska in 2010 Holiday Bowl
As I wrote about in Bow Down to Willingham, when 30+ UW players came to Jake and asked him to join them in going to Emmert to demand Willingham's firing, Jake said no.
Does all this say Husky Hall of Fame to you? -

I'd love to see how Jake would have done under Petersen.
As to whether or not Jake went along with those other 30 players -- maybe he had reasons not related to the "white guilt" narrative that your book spends meaningful time pushing.
This doesn't mean I think he belongs in the hall of fame... but he was one of the rare bright points during the Ty and Sark eras.
Dennis Erickson said Locker was the single player he most feared playing against in the Pac.
