Austin Davis, Southern Miss defeats #6 Houston " Seahawks Draft Blog
Austin Davis will do what it takes to achieve his goals. That’s the lasting impression I had following our conversation back in July as Davis prepared for his senior year at Southern Miss. "The biggest thing is to be a winner and to be a guy that people want on their team. You can’t do anything about your height, you can’t do anything about a lot of things.

This was the week of the breakaway run. We lost some consistency this week as we had five runs for loses and twelve of thirty planned runs with gains of less than three yards.

Seahawks, Carroll must find way to keep Tom Cable - Seahawks News - MyNorthwest.com
Since UCLA fired head coach Rick Neuheisel, the rumors that UCLA and Tom Cable are mutually interested in one another is something that should be disturbing to Seahawks fans. If you're head Coach Pete Carroll it should be particularly troubling, but it's the chance you take when hiring a guy like Cable and it speaks volumes about Carroll himself.
