The Hawks ARE getting more athletic and faster. ARob is a good back, but lacks speed. He's better than Paki, but not on the same level as Jewel in this regard. There is a level up from Hampton too. They just need to keep getting better and better in this respect, and eventually Kirk's time...

THIS is exactly what I was trying to say. KF isn't far off from NC contention and having an undefeated team...

I agree with this... and I said in another thread that the difference is purely foot speed at 3 main positions. If they can get faster at RB, WR, and CB, then IA can be one of those teams that CAN make mistakes and win.

I saw a number of plays where Arizona's speed allowed them to get 0 to 5 yards instead of negative yards. It makes a difference. It's the difference between 10-2 and a #10 ranking and national championship contender.

It certainly is overrated at times.... but... It's the difference between the Hawkeyes we get and the team we COULD have, if they were just a "level up" in foot speed. It's the only piece of the puzzle that's missing from the Ferentz teams. Look at Robinson... he's a good D1 back. He's...

It's not the coaching, nor the schemes we run. Ferentz and staff gets more out of his teams than just about any coach in the country. To me, the Hawks' inability to WIN EVERY GAME comes down to one thing: SPEED Or a lack thereof. Last year, the Hawkeyes did just about everything they...

Hello, We have to be at a wedding over the weekend, and there will not be a TV on site. Can someone please post a link to the live chat that Jon does during the game? Thanks
