Ahmed: 'We Worked on Breaking Tackles'
After going the distance on a 60-yard scoring run at Oregon State, Huskies running back Salvon Ahmed turned humble, crediting his offensive linemen for giving him a hole to run through.
Of course, there was a lot more to it than that.
Ahmed broke a tackle and nimbly kept his feet once he got through heavy traffic--and he was gone.
The junior said the UW backs hadn't done a good enough job of getting free after taking on contact in previous games, so they worked on drills, used specific tools, that emphasized that.
Ahmed, who earlier broke an 89-yarder against USC, also was generous in his praise of the return of fellow back Richard Newton, and even put up with a Seahawks combo comparison.
