Agreed. The desparity between his track speed and abilities he has shown on the football field are remarkable. He started off really well in '07, but just hasn't been the same since.osugrad21;1443725; said:

For someone to run as fast as he does at his size is pretty rare. He is a special athlete. Maybe not versatile but his straight line speed definitely stands out.

Bo Jackson was a special athlete. Brandon Saine is just really fast in a straight line.

Bo Jackson was a legend. One of the greatest athletes of all time in any sport.
What I'm getting at is Brandon's speed for his size makes him special. Not many his size have his kind of speed. Not sure there is a single player in CFB with his combo of size and speed.

To this day...right now...I have that card, made by Score, in a screw case in my box of cards. 
Bo trucking Bozworth on MNF is one of the most glorious moments in sports history...right up there with Tyson fumbling around on the canvas for his mouthpiece. 
But I digress, to get the thread back on track: FUCK m*ch*g*n!

Great..but what you said was Saine is a "special athlete." Athlete refers to a total package...agility, relative speed, versatility, etc.
I would argue that there are DL/OL in CFB that are better 'athletes' than Saine.
Brandon is fast. No doubt. However, that does not translate as a "special athlete."

LOL, ok. I guess what I was trying to say is an athlete who does something special. Better?
BTW, I was using the word "special" in the context of other college football players. I wasn't even considering Bo Jackson.

Is it relevant? You degraded the Robinson kid by using the usual hyperbole we ridicule with Barwis, etc...I called you on it. Saine has not been "special" He is fast.

Seriously? I "degraded" him? I said Saine was a better athlete and I backed it up by saying he's run faster times at heavier weights. His original point, the reason I brought up Saine, was you don't keep that kind of speed on the bench.
Not sure why you're being such a stickler today.
