I know we always lose a raft of our best players early to the NFL draft every year, but losing Tommy Togiai was a real lose-lose situation. Last year, Togiai, a true junior, surprised many by declaring early for the NFL draft.

    When you look back at our two loses, especially yesterday, we needed that great run stopper--that was Togiai. With him on this year's team, we likely would be undefeated. Had Togiai came back and played well, he would have been drafted much higher than #132, (thereby having a bigger contract), which is where he went last spring. Worked out bad for both sides.
