All the top teams in the land have speed. It is not limited to the SEC. Florida is not noticeably speedier than OSU. They won that game because their D-Line completely dominated the OSU O-line. The battle in the trenches does not have a ton to do with speed. Your argument is based on one game. <BR/>If you look at the SEC as a whole, was Tennessee's SEC speed too much for Penn St? was Arkansas' SEC speed too much for Wisconsin? hell, even look at Auburn, who beat Nebraska. Nebraska dominated most of that game (except of course the two turnovers inside their own 10 that led directly to the Tigers only TDs).<BR/><BR/>All the top teams have speed.

Given that they are returning most of their players, why would they be worse next year?

Ohio State has 3 receivers who run sub 4.3 and some fast DBs as well. Remember how Ginn was pulling away on his return? <BR/><BR/>Florida won last night because of flawless execution of a better game plan and they won the battle of the trenches. If their speed was so superior, why didn't we see it on special teams or why were they unable to go deep the whole game?Natsfan74https://www.blogger.com/profile/02774593132826810650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1168376798954287802007-01-09T16:06:00.000-05:002007-01-09T16:06:00.000-05:00As for your whole SEC Speed Kills thing...it's a g...As for your whole SEC Speed Kills thing...it's a good concept, but I don't think you can draw any broad, nation-wide conclusions from one game.
