PROVO — BYU senior running back Matt Hadley grew up in the rural central Washington state city of Connell, which lies about midway between the University of Washington and Washington State. So which of the two football programs did the 6-foot, 200-pound running back cheer for growing up? Well, that would be the Huskies, sort of.
"Sometimes I would cheer for University of Washington, just because most of my community were Washington State fans," said Hadley, who is preparing to take on Washington this Saturday.
