Temple QB P.J. Walker has had immediate success as a freshman. While Temple is in the midst of a miserable year, it has become a breakout one for Walker. Just last week he threw four TD passes against SMU.

This week, Walker, from Elizabeth, says he is driven by a slight from Rutgers. They were the only team, he says, not to recruit him as a quarterback. Instead, they recruited him as an athlete. That was enough to disregard the school's attention.

"I would be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed," Walker told the Philly Inquirer. "It's the big school in Jersey; I'm from Jersey. But everything happens for a reason. They didn't want me as a quarterback. Temple gave me the chance to come in and compete. That was all I could ask for."
