FYI, Ogwo ran a F.A.T. 100m dash time of 10.6 and a 400m dash time of 48.3 last night at his latest track meet.
 
FYI: Tim Dwight ran a 10.2 and Adam Haluska ran a 10.1 in the 100 meters. Andy Brodell ran a 10.4.

400 meters: Calvin Davis ran a 47.3.

These times, supposedly, can be used by adding .25 seconds to a FAT time, on average.
 
I'm not a track guy so i don't know but are 12 second splits in the 400 considered fast?
 
Good times. Did he run the right direction? Did he run in his lane? Did he know where the finish line was? Those are good predictors of guys in the future that will knows their routes. And now the big question-Can he catch the ball?
 
The iowa guys u mentioned were very fast. The times u mentioned were not valid. Check their state and drake times and u will see more accurate measures. 10.6 and 48.3 are very good this early in the season. The 48.3 probably more so because the timing system doesn't come in to play as much.

No, he ran the wrong direction in the wrong lane, so obviously he didn't know where the finish line was. For him,in the 100, they had to clear the last 3 lanes as they didn't know which one he would be running the wrong direction in, and they started with 20 seconds on the clock, counted down, and posted the difference.
Good post. Can't ever let anyone say postive things about kids without trying to piss on it, can we.
But yeah I know, I'm the bad guy that ruins threads.
 
We need to find a QB who can throw to WRs...other than 5 yard dump passes, often in a panic.

A QB with vision...calm in the pocket...and hey, while we are dreaming, coaches who will allow a QB to throw a ball or two beyond the dump pass range.

Gosh, maybe we want to assume a bit more risk, since we have dropped down to struggling against ISU and MAC teams...

My two cents...
 
No offense to Haluska, but there is no way he was close to a 10.1. Hand timed = potential to be quite a bit off.

10.6/48.3 is pretty quick. Thanks for posting.

Amen, rev...
 
Maybe some of you folks haven't heard that the QB who CAN and WILL throw the ball down the field has been found. The other guy has bolted, the guy who KF insisted "gave us the best chance to win," so now Iowa has NO excuses for not lighting it up down field.

Oh, BTW, the QB who's finally running things goes by the name of CJ Beathard. Some time ago Ed Podolak said on a postgame radio show that "Beathard will eventually be a starting QB in college. His arm reminds me of Joe Namath." And whaddaya know, the college he'll be starting for turns out to be IOWA. So there's that.

wasnt there strong wind on Adam's time?
 
That's good but this type of speed is not needed in the GDGD offense that put up 17 on mighty ISU.

We need guys who can downfield block on first down, run a route the defense will be all over on second down and then run a good 3 yard out on 3rd and 8 with a 8 yard cushion by the db.

Correct. I would have to double check but I think Dwight's best time at the Iowa state meets was 10.6.

I believe Ogwo's best event is the 400 where he has a decent shot at a title this year.
 
That's not the way FAT times work. Brodell did not run an electronic 10.4. The fastest electronic time in Iowa history was run last year, 10.6. Haluska's time was hand-held and turned around to run with a very strong wind instead of against it. That is now illegal to do during state-qualifying meets.

48.3 in the 400 is damn fast as well, he could run at Iowa.

Ogwo does plan to run track at Iowa.

Is it a misdemeanor or a felony?

Okay so he is fast.

Does he know not to throw the ball forward while falling out of bounds on a kick-off? I hope this is the first question KF asks his recruits.

"If your falling out of bounds at the 4yd line on a kick-off, what do you do?"

With good coaching they can learn that also.
