TE's have been disappointing so far. Their blocking hasn't been good and Perkins appears to be the only reliable receiver and he's basically a converted WR.
Probably doesn't work out like that against PAC competition ... there will be a learning curve and lessons learned during the season on this leading to a few FGs instead of TDs.
Maybe not now, but this feels like a carbon copy Sankey run to me. I think he had one like this against BYU in that dreck bowl Tui coached.
Who got absolutely destroyed on their block on the left side?
It was Drew Sample, that's a pretty tough block for a TE to make though, he has to reach way across to get to that guy coming in like that. Sample has actually been a solid blocker so far too. I'll let it slide.
I realize this cuts against the popular narrative, but there's no way the nickelback comes all the way across from the far side of the field and runs down DWarsh from behind. #12 is lights-out in the open field.

He never gets to that point in the first place though.
The first cut to bounce outside is good by Gaskin (Washington MIGHT be able to make that cut), but it's the 2nd cut to get up field that is so impressive. Washington would kill to be able to do that, and not many RB's have that lateral quickness and vision to do it in the first place.

Not only that, but in his stop/starts, he gets back up to top speed quickly - which is very impressive. The game definitely doesn't look like it moves too fast for him.

A sign of the skill level of Sac state: #44 bit on Browning's half-assed play fake pass. But look at 1, he reads it. I think his names is Banks. He looks like one of the better defenders on sac state. He is the guy who got into the backfield and tackled Washington (and who Gaskin made miss on his long TD run). I am not so sure he would not have caught Washington if Washington was starting from a dead stop going through the hole.
