“There’s a real suddenness to him and it’s the power that he has,” coach Pete Carroll said of Penny on Wednesday. “He runs right through tackles that normally guys have to change course. He didn’t have to change course half the time. A guy reaches out and tries to get him, whether it’s the big guys or not. He just runs right through it, and it doesn’t affect him, so he seems to maximize his opportunity to get to top speed and you feel like when he bust it, he’s gone.
“You don’t feel like anybody is not going to get a shot at him and he has proven that.”
