he is fast as well. But I remember watching Hine's highlights when he was

at snow canyon and pointing it out to my friends watching his acceleration. I hadn't seen him prove it until this last Saturday. He burned everyone. Looked like a quality returner, especially given his size and the size of guys on special teams these days in CFB/NFL.

How did Blackmon get caught?

HRCougar

9/21/14 10:41pm

Blackmon "wasn't warm".

9/21/14 10:41pm

Why would you not think their safety would be as fast?

kccougar

9/21/14 10:42pm

Just asking a question

HRCougar

9/21/14 10:44pm

That safety was a 5 star recruit and extremely fast. And he was already running

TrueAndBlue

9/21/14 10:42pm

Exactly, the dude who caught him had a big head start.

whoneedscorners?

9/21/14 10:44pm

Blanding is a stud. But, the bigger factor is that Blackmon slowed down to make

RichieRich

*slowed down = basically stopped

CoopDizz

9/21/14 10:47pm

Good question. He pulled up when he saw the defender had an angle on him.

Zach

9/21/14 10:43pm

He was wearing all-whites.

Indy Coug

racist

9/21/14 10:45pm

Blackmon claimed in an interview that he wasn't loose

Indy Coug

9/21/14 10:46pm

loose-ist

9/21/14 10:50pm

TNT knew those uniforms were bad news

TNT

9/21/14 10:45pm

he should now be called "whitemon"

nashty

9/21/14 10:53pm

Hey that rhymes with Pokemon

TNT

9/21/14 10:54pm

Blackmon had to change direction and lost all his momentum

9/21/14 10:46pm

Seeing him run reminds me of Chambers. He just doesn't look that fast.

9/21/14 10:46pm

He could run circles around Chambers

Indy Coug

9/21/14 10:47pm

Yeah. Chambers had some lateral movement but was borderline slow

TNT

9/21/14 10:48pm

Chambers was actually very fast

Zach Morris

9/21/14 10:56pm

Do you think he looks fast out there. He looks like he is the only one

9/21/14 10:51pm

Start by rewatching his TD catch vs Houston that was called back

Indy Coug

9/21/14 10:54pm

Seen it several times, that was the first time that I thought he didn't

9/21/14 11:04pm

Maybe he will appear faster when he plays on turf.

You need to quit watching him and watch the other players

9/22/14 1:18am

Blackmon is very fast

HiLife

9/21/14 10:46pm

Be careful, you'll get a bunch of people riled up about angles, momentum, blah

Duke Silver

9/21/14 10:46pm

This was my impression

HRCougar

9/21/14 10:49pm

Blackmon stopping to catch it and Blanding having an angle aren't excuses.

RichieRich

9/21/14 10:51pm

Like I said, I've seen it live and on dvr

HRCougar

9/21/14 10:53pm

you are completely ignoring the fact that the safety is also fast.

9/21/14 10:56pm

Every WR run down by Deion Sanders was a slow poke

wapiti

9/21/14 11:35pm

Getting people riled up or getting legitimate answers?

RichieRich

9/21/14 10:49pm

Because by the time Blackmon was up to full speed, he had enough space to pull

Fastest guy I've seen at BYU in a while is Hine. By far.

9/21/14 10:51pm

Davis is pretty dang fast

TNT

9/21/14 10:52pm

Yep - I think he's the clear #1 on the team

CoopDizz

9/21/14 10:54pm

Would you put Leslie in that second group? Guy is probably BYU's best receiver

TNT

9/21/14 10:56pm

Haven't seen him in the open field; he caught some long TDs at UTEP

CoopDizz

9/21/14 10:57pm

True

TNT

9/21/14 10:58pm

Johnson is fast. If you remember his return in 2012 against WSU it was

9/21/14 10:58pm

He got tired at the end of that INT return - too bad

CoopDizz

9/21/14 11:00pm

he is fast as well. But I remember watching Hine's highlights when he was

9/21/14 10:56pm

He reaches top speed very quickly - great for a KR

CoopDizz

9/21/14 10:57pm

I think Davis is faster

HiLife

9/21/14 10:56pm

Davis would burn him.

southernfriedcougar

9/22/14 11:58am

Jurgens didn't get caught on his TD catch... interesting

shakavaka

9/21/14 10:54pm

Hahahaha

TrueAndBlue

9/21/14 11:02pm

Narc... had to be.

OldCosmo

9/21/14 10:58pm

If you watch the play Blackmon had to slow down to make the catch

AFcoug7

9/21/14 10:59pm

The short answer is that he's not as fast as we thought he was.

MarkGrace

UofU compliance was just doing their duty.

flavordave

9/21/14 11:13pm

Blackmon in his post game interview said that his hamstrings tightened up.

9/22/14 12:37am

Safety was running at full speed when Blackmon turned to run.

LifeLongLakerFan

Not sure why this keeps getting brought up

5 star defensive player with under 4.5 speed himself...this is really a ?

He hammy was tight

Yakov

9/22/14 8:25am

Of course he's not fast! Utah rejected his LOI... why would you think he's fast?
