BOISE — Chase Hatada smiled as he described what it meant to get his first career sack last Saturday against Wyoming.
“It was probably the best feeling I’ve had in a while,” the Boise State defensive end said.
A month earlier might have been one of his worst feelings.
Hatada was ejected late in the second quarter against New Mexico on Sept. 14 following a hit to the helmet of Lobos quarterback Lamar Jordan.
Wednesday he spoke to the media for the first time since the incident.
“Huge learning experience,” Hatada said. “Our coaches do a great job of teaching technique and tackling and obviously I’m not going out there trying to hurt people.
