someone is really fast and he definitely doesn't look really fast, let alone one of the fastest on the team. This is a team with some real speed.

I think he appears to be an effective runner but doesn't look very fast to me. Could be wrong.

Is there anyway that Howell wasn't 100% honest either?

Skip the battle of wits and just give him the iocaine powder

No chance because our coaches are all 100% honest and upfront

ManicBlue

its because neither qb was a threat in the first place

cougarmanguy

Faster than Hill? Not a chance.

looks slower than tar to me

For a guy his size he has very good speed--but I'm more impressed

Mantis Mutu

he played at the end of blowout games against 2nd and 3rd string guys

cougarmanguy

I'm not worked up over him--I think Hill's a faster, better QB--but I don't

Swoopes is no where close to as fast as Taysom.

BE-WHY-YOU

9/2/14 9:14pm

Even Ash looks faster to me.

deliciousmocha

Swoopes looks like a reothlisberger but not good at throwing

He is not a really fast QB. Not sure where that is coming from.

Slow acceleration, but strong and hard to bring down.

I think some BYU fans need to stop going to bed with curlers in.

whirl

9/3/14 10:28am

I don't think he's that fast. He's more of a bruiser. Like that Oklahoma QB

TrueAndBlue

9/2/14 9:17pm

He looks like runs with ankle weights on. Not fast. Big and powerful though

nashty

9/2/14 9:24pm

fyi he runs about a 4.8

CougarCanuck76

9/2/14 9:25pm

ESPN has him listed at 4.77 out of high school...not that fast.

ChubbyChaser

9/2/14 9:25pm

That's really fast for a lineman

Bob Vance

9/2/14 9:28pm

They are going to run the ball

deliciousmocha

9/2/14 9:26pm

Yeah but you don't have to sell out for the run until they prove they can get 5

rcbyufan

I will be surprised if we can stop the run without adding a man to the box.

I agree with this.

It doesn't change our prep because it won't change Texas' gameplan.

Prob because they are preparing for a heavy run game in the first place.

Swoopes is no Ponder, and J. Hill isn't coordinating the defense.

His 40 time is 4.77. That's not that fast.
