This was the freshman I was most looking forward to watching this year. He certainly doesn't disappoint.
Just how fast is O.J. Howard

He caught the ball around the 41 yard line, outside the right hash, and then proceeded to run across the field, down the sideline, and across the left-hand edge of the goal line in under six seconds. 6 SECONDS!!!
That's pretty darn fast - and that's football speed, not track speed.

LSU#16 would have caught him but pulled up. I don't think he wanted to tackle him. It would have been close to the goal line.
He may not be the fastest off the line, but he's covering 5 yards every 3 steps -- 5 feet per step ...... not only is he quick, but he's covering a ton of ground each step....
If you look at the video -- 3 steps to get from the 25 to the 20 -- the LSU CB? 6 steps.....that makes a difference.

Nah, I've looked at it several times. #16 pulled up when he realized he couldn't get to him before the EZ...
I thought, when he was signed, that he was gonna be a receiving machine with huge numbers, if he could improve his blocking; otherwise he wouldn't see the field much. Looks like the improvements are going to get him more time on the field, and THAT is not something Bama's opponents want to see.
Now you know why all of us on the recruiting board were foaming at the mouth over this kid. The rumors of him possibly being the scariest TE prospect we ever signed are dead on (and that is saying something)
Now that is HILARIOUS. But I am not too certain there are many DC Comic fans on the site to get it. LOL......Roll Tide
Apparently there's 3 of us lol.Now that is HILARIOUS. But I am not too certain there are many DC Comic fans on the site to get it. LOL......Roll Tide
I agree with Earle on this...."He doesn't look all that fast with those huge strides and then, boom!, he's by you."
I'll be glad when they (coaches) get him more involved in the offense, or I should say in receiving. I think the announcers said he had 11 receptions coming into this game.
Its OFFICIAL. There is 4 of us. A little old school and a little new. And for what its worth, OJ is pretty durn fast.
