Last Interception Pool
One week into The Dash's annual Last Interception Pool, and the crowd is already more scarce than the Walt Harris (32) Fan Club. Three big-name guys threw their first picks of the season last week: Smith, Booty and Boise State's Jared Zabransky. Wake Forest freshman Riley Skinner didn't throw enough passes to remain qualified under the NCAA pass efficiency rules. That leaves just three quarterbacks to fight it out for the lavish Dash grand prize -- an ESPN pen and a box of half-filled reporter notepads.
The remaining contestants:
Drew Willy (33) of Buffalo: no picks in 118 attempts. Next up: the Bulls have a bye, which, given last week's attrition rate, could make Willy the man to beat.
Stephen McGee (34) of Texas A&M (the same school as former LIP winner Reggie McNeal): no picks in 90 attempts. Next up: Texas Tech.
Thaddeus Lewis (35) of Duke: no picks in 62 attempts. Next up: Virginia.
