So LSU'S overall football speed had NOTHING to do with that win?????
what overall football speed? Who are these fast guys on LSU? Holliday and? Did you see the 40 times LSU players ran? Its a joke.
WE won that game because we were better. OSU was really not that good that year. Their pass blocking has been bad and their QB was fricking terrible. Gholston was faster than any comparable DE/LB on LSU. You think Scott and Hester are faster than Wells? Come on.

That's not the comparison.
The comparison is an SEC LB or DB or Safety vs like a Big 10 one.
So when a QB rolls out against an SEC team, he's closed down much faster. Or it's tougher for a RB to get the edge. Not always, but most anyone who watches CFB well can tell you that SEC teams play faster.
OSU can do a lot of things against Big 10 opponenets because they're faster but it seems like they're shocked into life by teams that can match/exceed their speed. That's the point about SEC being faster. They have speed at positions that don't usually value that trait, and it makes teams who aren't used to it look really slow.
