Put it this way: Hogan's worst NCAA passer rating is better than every single true freshman QB's since 2008.

That's no longer true, though still essentially correct.

Last year true frosh PJ Walker of Temple had a season long QB rating of 150.82. While this was immediately behind Hogan's 151.64 (they ranked 20th and 21st in the country), it was better than Hogan's 2012 season rating of 147.9.

I guess there is a technicality that could still make your statement true. Hogan didn't play enough to qualify for the official rankings (you must play in 75% of your teams games and average at least 15 pass attempts per game played). Thus his only "counting" PER was also his worst at 151.64.

But Hogan's PERs have been very good. That article doesn't quite say true frosh QBs never prosper, but rather that only the absolute stars seem to come through the experience well (Terrelle Pryor, Robert Griffin III, etc).
