Speed Of College Football In The South Has Made A Move North-Miami Herald
"Agility, strength, coaching, fundamentals, and speed all have a part to play. To try to whittle the major factors of football success away and only focus on speed is horrible journalism."

For those watching this year, they'd have noted the performance of the Big Ten's top four teams against rated opponents in the bowl games. We watched such speed notables as Miami, Oregon, LSU, and Georgia Tech take tumbles.
All four were resounding victories for the Big Ten. In addition, Northwestern nearly beat Auburn in an absolute over-time heart-breaker highlighted by Northwestern Q.B Mike Kafka's 78 pass attempts, four T.D. passes, and 532 yards of passing.
Has the balance of speed and athleticism shifted northward or is speed over-rated as a component of the college game? All four Big Ten victories featured dominant line play on both sides of the ball. Yet all four games included big plays from the line of scrimmage and viable passing attacks.
Those teams which lost weren't simply bludgeoned to death.
