Speed Demons: Pryor’s Forty Could Be Fatal Flaw

According to Yahoo Sports (the worldwide leader in swill), Terrelle Pryor strides forty yards in 4.33 seconds. While this shorts and t-shirt scare tactic is impressive, Ohio State and Pryor should view speed as a scourge.
Consider these four former Buckeyes, whose speed and success ran conversely…
David Boston: As Charles Woodson and he played slap and trash talk, Boston’s speed was nonexistent. Ohio State supporters may remember his taunting touchdown…. However, Woodson’s wrestling victory is the perpetual highlight.

Joey Galloway: His receptions, yards, and touchdowns were top five statistics. Unfortunately, John Cooper was his coach. Speed cannot surmount ineptitude.
Ted Ginn: When one’s ankle is sprained, speed is irrelevant. Despite receiving, return, and rushing touchdowns, Ginn on crutches is most memorable moment.

Terry Glenn: From non-recruit to national superstar, Glenn’s career epitomized work ethic. If only he could have slowed down. “Michigan's nothing” still haunts Ohio State.
