Washington QB Locker shaken up in Holiday Bowl

Washington quarterback Jake Locker was shaken up on a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter of the Holiday Bowl against No. 17 Nebraska on Thursday night. He returned for the Huskies' next series.

Locker scrambled and slid headfirst as he was hit by Nebraska safety Austin Cassidy. Locker was on the ground for a few minutes before walking off on his own power. He was replaced by Keith Price for the rest of the series, which ended when a fourth-down run by Chris Polk was stuffed.

Locker returned for the next series after safety Nate Fellner intercepted Taylor Martinez's pass.
