Less reliable, but more explosive.
That’s how most would characterize the difference between and Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin. As steady as they come, Gaskin racked up over 5300 yards during his UW career, and he always seemed to get better as the game (and season) wore on. Early in the year, Gaskin would see some lighter duty, making us ask: “What’s wrong with Myles?” Later in the season, his workload increased, and by the time the Apple Cup rolled around... well, just ask a Coug if they are glad Gaskin’s gone.
The preseason prognostications are rolling out, and we’ve been seeing the running back position for the Huskies characterized this way:
Myles Gaskin is gone —the most productive back in UW history— and now UW is left with a few talented but unproven running backs who will serve as a committee to replace Gaskin.
