JTrain Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Why am I still having such a hard time believing this? Niles Paul is the quickest Husker in history? Really? Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Why am I still having such a hard time believing this? Niles Paul is the quickest Husker in history? Really? I'm sure it was hand-clocked, and the margin of error would most likely be over 2-hundredths of a second. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Why am I still having such a hard time believing this? Niles Paul is the quickest Husker in history? Really? I'm sure it was hand-clocked, and the margin of error would most likely be over 2-hundredths of a second. For reasons of legitimacy, Paul said, Dobson had him run it twice and the result was the same. Seems consistent to me Quote Link to comment

husker B-rent Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Paul was a pretty good track and field runner in HS... Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Good story on him in the World Herald on Sunday. Met or passed all his goals this winter (including squatting 500 lbs, crazy). Just overall excited about how things have been going for him and the team. Said to expect some big things this year (iirc). Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This hasn't been updated for years, but as of 2003 Keith Jones held the I-back record with 1.45 seconds and Khari Reynolds held the overall with 1.44. Other sites reported that Fabian Washington had the 1.42, but that was apparantly hand held. Brandon Kinnie also ran a 1.4 something that broke the old WR record. Cody Green tied Steve Taylor's record of 1.5 at QB, Helu tied the RB record at 1.45 and Rex ran a 1.49. This tells me that Dobson is doing an amazing job working with these kids. http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=6164 How did Helu tie the RB record at 1.45 when Ahman Green held the team record of 1.42?

bshirt Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 10 yd is probably one of the best things for a reciever no? i think Matt Davison had a slow 40 but fast 10. Yeah, Matt Davidson did not have blazing speed. He really didn’t even have decent speed. He was slow. But Davison had the best hands of any wide receiver I can think of. Better even than Swift. If a pass was thrown anywhere near Davison he would haul it in. The guy had hands like an industrial vacuum cleaner covered with stickum. I don’t think many people appreciated how talented Matt Davison was at catching the ball. If Niles Paul had Matt Davison’s ability to catch the ball he would be the best WR in the country. I agree the guy was amazing catching the ball. Somehow he had glue in his hands as he was automatic if the ball was anywhere close to him. That's got to be the most under-rated skill of any football position imo. You can have lightning speed but it's worthless if you don't catch the ball. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 This was the first time I've ever heard of the 10 yard dash. Interesting statistic and really does help explain the explosiveness of a player. Congrats to Paul on the record. GO BIG RED!!! Quote Link to comment
sarge87 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I think Dobson may have been Bo's best hire, he really seems to be making a difference. I'll reserve my praise for Dobson until he can get a handle on the injury bug our O-Lines have been plagued by. Our O-Line were the most resilient to injuries in years past, but now it seems---at least since the Callahan years---our O-Line has been taking a serious beating. Quote Link to comment

You're right the lack of depth at o-line had nothing to do with it . Quote Link to comment
