Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I've been watching 2022 game highlights

after watching what this offense did for a runner like Taulapapa who, let's be honest, wasn't the most athletic RB, I'm getting really excited about the one two punch of Davis and Johnson. This line created some huge holes for Wayne who just didn't have the speed to break them. Not bashing Wayne, I thought the kid did great with what he had but I think the backs this year will be much more of a weapon for UW.

    I hope so. UW needs a great back, it’s been a while now.

    According to the comments, the ducks lost that game; UW didn't win it. Sounds about right for duxlogix.

    I thought Tualapapa was a very good running back. I'm not an expert analyst, but I didn't see any weaknesses, and he seemed like a step up from any of our other backs. I don't recall him making many mistakes, either.

    He made some short yardage runs early in the year that were really bad and looked low effort. It took a while but they realized he wasn't a good short yardage back.

    He had a decent burst and vision and took advantage of it when big holes opened up. I give him credit.

    Dropped pitch against UCLA, mishandling a pitch that cost us a first down against ASU, and probably a few others
