When he got his first carry that was called back by a chop block, there was not a dry eye on my section.

Top 5 Husky football moment all time for me.

His consecutive carries for -2 and -1 yards will be the things of Husky Legend

I really wish someone would have remembered which doog said, "There won't be a dry eye in the stadium." Anyone have any clue?

The truth is a couple of people clapped, but it pretty much went unnoticed. As a run up the middle for a loss and a penalty should be.

On TV it did sound to me like there was a pretty decent ovation both times.

I heard the noise as well - could have been penalty angst in hindsight. The camera zoomed in on the back of hist jersey as well.

I expect to see a few carries out of him against the Illini, and maybe double digits against ISU.

All bullshit aside, he has lost a step, or three. No explosion. Granted, it was a small sample size, but I am guessing our hopes of him being AC are over.

Washington is the clear #2. The kid does not shy away from contact.

He's the next Corey Dillon, everyone says so.

I believe it was in Gregg Bell's article and it was Lorenzo Romar who said that.

Admittedly I'm no NFL scout, but the three carries I saw got blown up at the line. Hard to put that on Cooper I'm not saying he's AC, I'm just saying it's a little premature to declare that he has "no explosion." Let it play out.

Romar said there would be some people with tears, not quite the whole not a dry eye in the stadium. It was a poster on doogman.

Hey, I qualified it by saying "guessing," which is sort of like "hearing," and if you can't understand the difference then you might need a timeout.

I actually chuckled that his first carry didn't count cause of the chop block. Glad his first real carry resulted in a first down though.

Pretty sure Sark said something about him still being tentative to hit the holes hard... it's psychological not physical.

Dude has balls you would need to haul around in a wheelbarrow to even be out there. If I blew out three knees in three years, no way would I go out there to get pounded on by 300 pound pissed off DTs.

Joking aside, I don't think we can really gauge what he's capable of until he's got 3-4 games under his belt and some of the butterflies have been worked through.

I really hope Idaho State is his slump buster and he can get some confidence. Remember guys Sankey was average vs SDSU last year then terrible vs LSU. Then he tore it up vs Portland State and never looked back.

Illinois should be bad enough to give him some opportunities.

I think Cooper and Callier are going to be fighting for scraps. Washington is the clear #2 RB. That kid runs hard and does not avoid contact.
