Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

maybe he does maybe he doesn't....but I honestly think that he made a great effort to provide links so that he doens't have to take comments like this
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.

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.
