    Ackbar is not very good. One of those dudes that's fast but not a great RB

    he's a sophomore. he can get better.
    He sucks until he doesn't. Right now, he sucks.

    Yep. A career ypc of 6.2 is terrible.

    To be fair a good chunk of his yards come off of a reverse where the defense is keying on gaskin. His ypc without those plays would drop significantly. He is not a good running back currently but is a great athlete. Hope he gets better because pleasant and McGrew are not going to scare any dc's.

    And some on HCH kept saying how Pete doesn't get plungered.

    He gets plungered, but Coach Meyer RESPECTS him and decided to call off the dogs mid-3rd.

    UW respect list:

    USC
    Penn State
    Ohio State

    That right there is a top tier list if I've ever seen one.

    that's got to be a loaded average. he's reeled off some big runs, and he's probably feasted on some pastry Ds. when I watch him, he doesn't seem to have Gaskin's vision, and he sure as hell isn't a tough as Gaskin after contact. Gaskin makes 4 to 6 yd. runs on plays where the O line has been beaten. I've never seen the terrorist break a fucking tackle. Sure, if the lane is there and he sees it, he's fast and has balance and all that. But .... like I said, it'll be chintresting to see what he does next year when Myles isn't around and everybody actually cares about his performance. He's gotten a huge pass by the fanbase thus far because MMFG.

    I think he's feasted on longer runs as the change of pace back in the second halves of games.

    McGrew is a better back than Ahmed.

    Thread winner. He isn’t and never will be a between the tackles back. He’s never seen a sideline that He won’t run to. He’s a good complimentary back due to speed,speed, speed. He’d be better suited for the Air Raid then whatever it is that you guys run.

    He's like Ballage was at asu but not as good looking

    Same crap tjouhj. He's a guy that can run fast but sucks as a rb.

    Ahmed doesn't get the carries Gaskin got so let it play out. I can think of a half dozen "read" options where Ahmed gets the ball 7 yards deep as he is being tackled. He was used on a lot of our trick shit cute plays that don't work

    He looked GREAT in the Apple Cup but then again which Husky doesn't?

    I wouldn't sell his stock just yet. I do understand the concern

    When Peterman remakes the offense the terrorist may have a better chance - unless he remakes it more complicated. Unfortunately, I think he makes it more complicated.

    I think he suffers a lot from some of the same things Lavon Coleman did in 2017. Coleman was amazing when he got the ball going downhill, made one cut, and go. He sucked the 3-5 times a game Babushka would forget he had subbed in for Myles and gave him the ball on a read with his feet stopped.

    I felt the same way about Louis Rankin as a sophomore. By the time he was a senior, he was a good back.
