Congrats on the win. This game was painful, several key events that really altered the makeup of the game. Sucks big time. Good luck Huskers.

Best RB on the field Saturday:

I would argue he is better than anyone in your stable of RB's, he's a legitimate Heisman Watch List type of back and a lock for the NFL. Don't ignore Jesse Callier, he isn't chopped liver at the RB position.

Neither Hawaii nor Eastern Washington focus on running the ball. Over the past ten years Hawaii's highest Rushing Offense rank was #82, and that was in 2006. In the past five years their average rushing ranking is #105. Eastern Washington is, of course, a D2 (D1AA) school. They do not put a heavy focus on running, either, with an average Rushing Offense rank of #61 in the past decade, with their best year coming in 2004, when they were 33rd - again, that was in D2. Over the past five years their average ranking is #67. So no, neither team Washington "shut down" even really tries to run the ball. Just to point out something I recently was corrected on, EWU is D1-AA (FCS), and not D2. They are different levels. D1A (FBS), then D1AA (FCS), then D2, and D3 and JC in there somewhere. I think our dawgs go into Lincoln and beat you guys for the second game in a row. Udub will win this game by 1-7 points.

Congrats on a convincing win, you clearly outplayed us in all areas of the game. Your fans really travel well, good luck going forward.

Keep in mind that is a ten minute video of highlights, the other 50 minutes of the game are not shown. That TD run by Nassib in the first drive was his only long run of the game. The Cuse RB Carter broke off a few decent runs late in the 2nd half, but we contained him most of the rest of the game. My only point is that video shows the good plays for both teams, but you don't see the other 50 minutes of the game where we knocked Cuse around.

I don't know that this is the best comparison to make. Martinez did that against inferior teams, while Locker has had rushing success against some of the best teams in the country, even as a freshmen as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMfiq9CXss8&feature=related

Proof:

Rivals is horribly outdated, what are those stats from his junior year of high school? Eric is currently 6-5 & 300 pounds as of the start of fall camp. Granted, citing his size 18 months ago isn't a good point, but I think that it's more of the fact that he's a true frosh going against one of the top D linemen in the nation... True, but we are hoping he will perform better than Greg Christine who has at times been pretty decent and pretty subpar at others.

USC tOSU LSU OKC Some pretty decent defenses Locker has faced, whether or not any were better than yours THIS season, I have no idea.

Locker breaking his thumb in the 3rd or 4th game in 2008 is why we went winless (that and Tyrone was our coach) that year. He has not had much talent around him. Stick him on Florida's team and he would have blown away Tebow's stats. In Sark's 2nd year the talent level is much improved, but we are the underdog in this game.

Holy crap. Very ignorant post. Powerful argument. Don't need to argue it, anyone older than 10 would know it's a ridiculous and ludicrous comment. Not worth spending any time on when a simple Google search would educate him. Even a crappy wiki link would immediately blow up his comments.
