UW setting up to deliver knockouts with one-two punch at running back | The News Tribune

Washington really doesn't need spring practice to sort out its running back situation. The Huskies knew what they were in strong standing back in January when Myles Gaskin announced he was returning for his senior season.

Gaskin was contemplating making the jump to the NFL but opted to come back for his final year. His decision immediately gave UW a proven starter with few, if any, questions about his ability. It also provided the Huskies with the chance to have a full-time pairing of Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed.

The Gaskin-Ahmed partnership gives the Huskies two playmakers capable of getting into open space and wreaking havoc.
