Quote of the Day: Seattle Times
From Ten random thoughts about the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory:
#9 Seattle has scored six touchdowns in its Super Bowl history — five by players from Pac-12 schools. And Washington leads the list with two — Jerramy Stevens scored Seattle’s only TD in Super Bowl XL on a pass from Matt Hasselbeck, and Jermaine Kearse scored last Sunday on a 23-yard pass from Russell Wilson.
Seattle’s other Pac-12 TDs were from California (Marshawn Lynch’s 1-yard run), Stanford (Doug Baldwin’s 14-yard reception) and USC (Malcolm Smith’s 69-yard interception return). The one interloper? Percy Harvin, who attended Florida of the Southeastern Conference and scored on an 87-yard kickoff return.
Bonus!
#1 Somewhat lost in the hubbub of the week was that Russell Wilson became just the second African-American quarterback to win a Super Bowl, joining Doug Williams with the Washington Redskins in 1988.
The fact it was lost in the shuffle, though, was also generally regarded as a sign of progress. Wilson was rarely asked about it during the week, unlike Williams, for whom it was a constant topic.
