Even in last year's disappointing 5-6 season, CU had its moments. This season, CU appears to have the talent for making big plays, and it starts with speed. The 1998 Buffs are one of the fastest teams in CU history. The one variable that separates football teams is speed. And this is the fastest football team we've had.
Speed is what every good football team has and every bad football team needs.
CU has 11 players who run the 40 in 4.40seconds or less. Time will tell if it's better, but it's certainly comparable. But I think from a running back standpoint, a wide receiver standpoint, a tight end standpoint and a cornerback standpoint, we're as fast as we've been since I've been here. We'll just have to see if we play as fast and that's the key. There's a difference between running 40s and playing football.
