That was my first thought too. All I remember was seeing an orange streak when he ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.

Coach Stovall said all he heard was beep beep. Willie also did a fine job in the Super Bowl Shuffle video.

Bo never played in Tiger Stadium. Not ever.





And LSU did not play Auburn once from 1982 to 1987. Bo was at Auburn from 1982-1985.

He's got to be top 3 for sure. Bested Trindon Holliday's times in college so he's elite fast

That ref in 1958 following billy cannon down the sideline was pretty fast too.

I was at that game. By the time he hit stride at the 25 yd line it was over. It looked like he was taking strides 5 yds a clip...

LSU claims Trindon Holliday as the fastest CFB player ever based on his 10.00 sec 100 meter time (story in the LSU T&F Guide). No other CFB player has posted an equal or better time. Jeff Demps of UF posted a 10.01 sec 100 though.

10.01 by Demps is not better than the 10.00 that Holliday ran at the NCAA outdoor championships in ‘09.

Gault was going fast down the sidelines see Hobley coming at him on an angle, he downshifts into hyperspeed and was gone! Not sure if true but he took like 15 seconds or less to go 100 yards in football pads.

How would you quantify fastest?

If it's official 40 time, the Ruggs @ 4.27 is your man. If its the hundred meter, then it's Demps @ 10.01
