    Funny...an old friend who played for UM in the sixties told me he tackled O.J. Simpson about six times. That was in the game in LA that made the front cover of S.I. in 1968. He said O.J. was more nifty than he was fast. I mentioned that to Bill Buchalter, then the sports editor for the Orlando...

    Wasn't Darrell McClover supposed to have been fast? He was always a backup LB but I think still had a time in the League. Some real depth on that 2001 team.

    Best time I'm seeing for Tory Mitchell is 10.31 apparently non-wind aided. He was perhaps the fastest HS kid in the country his senior year. I'm not sure he would've been a corner at UM. Always listed as a safety...

    Back in the late '80's, I looked at the claimed 40 times for our DLs and LBs. I recall that our DEs were often faster than our LBs.

    I think Tory Mitchell was faster than all of them. If my memory serves me, he might have had a 10.13 wind-aided. His life ended tragically. He left UM as a freshman, transferred to Texas Tech, neither his track nor football career took off, and he died tragically while still young--murdered...

    No expert here, but 10.3 would seem exceedingly rare. How many have we had in that range? Remember Tory Mitchell and that Sprint champion RB from Texas? How many others? DVD and Dorsett? Who else?

    Check your autocorrect before hitting post. I enter mostly from my phone and I get some hilarious entries if I don't proofread.

    Search for 4.4 corners is the eternal search it seems...remember a conversation I had with Dave Scott, then the recruiting coordinator for us under JJ. I think that was back around '88. Said big priority was 4.4 corners. Trying to remember who we brought in that year. I woulda thought there...
