...you've got one in Ryan Mathews. The Fresno State running back, despite receiving relatively little media attention, has spent his 2009 season laying waste to opposing defenses. Against Boise State -- the same Boise State that is headed to the Fiesta Bowl -- he went gangbusters, running for 234 yards and three touchdowns. He's racked up 1,664 rushing yards, second in the nation behind Toby Gerhart. Gerhart received serious Heisman consideration; Mathews didn't.
If you missed Fresno State's nationally televised game against Boise State, this is your chance to watch Mathews in action and recoup the sports equivalent of hipster cred. Our MWC blog, Mountain West Connection, has an open game thread ready. Check it.
