so you honestly think the oft-injured young can run a sub-4.4?

OSU always has disciplined corners, and the OSU DBs will probably be faster. I seriously doubt the QBs will be throwing picture perfect passes with regularity... so how much of a difference will this supposed 4.4 speed make?

Route running, athleticism in the air, toughness will result in more catches than track times.

Whatever, T. Smith will have to have his best game of the year in only game 2 of the season against a Great defense on the road. An average game from T. Smith against our defense wont get it done.

If Troy Smith throws his "average" 15-24-0, 228 yards, and 2 TDs, I guarantee we not only win, we win going away...

Malcolm Jenkins' run-down of Billy Pittman from over 5 yards behind, in less than 50 yards, blows holes in that "published data".

And I can say that Kelson is faster than Reggie Bush because he covered him stride for stride on one play, but one must be careful using a single play as evidence.

Malcolm actually ran about the same distance since Pittman was running diagonally across the field while Jenkins was running straight. Jenkins also didn't have a ball in his hands, which is an advantage. Holding a ball really messes with running technique.

I would not make a claim that either player is faster based on this one play, and I certainly wouldn't claim an entire team was faster based on one play.

He was just compiling reported times. Give him a break.
