I didn't think Norton (21.5 MPH) had higher top end speed than Sama (20.9 MPH). Both are very fast; had top 5 speeds from all of college football in their respective weeks.
I would like to know how much the difference in turf might have affected their speeds. BYU turf was turrible.Anyone else surprised that Norton was that fast? I am a bit surprised Sama’s time was “slower”.
It looked to me like Sama let up at the end of his run, knew he wouldn't be caughtAnyone else surprised that Norton was that fast? I am a bit surprised Sama’s time was “slower”.
Could be, but the same site had him at 21.2 on his long TD run against TCU.I have a suspicion that Sama isn't quite 100%. I could be totally wrong, but one of the camera angles showed the play from behind and it looked like Sama had a slight hitch in his stride on his right leg (the one with the white sleeve). Clearly he's healthy enough to play, but from what I saw I questioned whether he was at 100%.
