In many ways, this Cinnci team reminds me of the 2007 WVU team... Dynamic Duel threat QB, under-rated arm, and ELITE TEAM SPEED..... I Seriously hope Brown puts effort into building this team in a similar way... Elite Speed is just so difficult to scheme against, and offers an edge vs prototypical 5star body types..
CINNCI IS PROOF ELITE SPEED BEATS 5 STAR STRENGTH

Praying Garrett Greene takes a few steps forward, adds 10-15 lbs of lean muscle, gains a step of speed, and our offensive staff can fully exploit his skillsets..
UGA losing to a roster of 3 stars, because of #SPEED..... Almost every player has explosive speed, its crazy.... IM jealous..
Kinda like WVU's game against uga. I will HATE uga for the rest of my fandom for the way their fans behaved on this site, but we're lying to ourselves if we can't admit that if it was a 5 or 6 quarter game, WVU loses by 14 or more. WVU jumped out to a massive and it took everything to hold onto it.
Slaton came out and popped the uga in the mouth so fast they didn't know what hit. But once uga got its legs, it was WVU waiting out the clock. Luckily for WVU, of the 22 players on the field at a given time, White and Slaton were the best. uga claimed the remaining 20. And it showed. And we know it, because we were all white-knuckled even with a 28 point lead. We wouldn't have felt that way against Uconn or Pitt, but deep down we knew that the talent on the opposing team (top to bottom) was simply at a higher level.

WVU was the more talented team against UGA and won the game. UGA was talented though, so were able to fight back. Didnt make them better.
So many WVU teams under different coaches couldnt hold onto leads.

UGA won, yes, but it took a last second career long FG to do it, vs a G5 team. UGA has recruited in the top 3-5 for the last 4-5 years. My point is when you build a team with Dynamic & Elite speed, you can beat teams who have "out recruited you", with the right development & schemes. Cinnci fell short, but UGA based on talent, UGA should have won by 20+... Explosive speed & shiftiness can make prototypical 5 star skillsets look foolish.. Its also a little easier to recruit. Speed is an edge thats very challenging to scheme against, and when combined with a bit more talent, would enable a team like WVU to seriously contend. Personally, I think its an easier path, compared to fighting blue bloods for traditional builds. If speed was our niche, our edge, speed & hard nosed players, that would be an awesome identity. Personally, I think that would be the quickest path to CFP caliber play, compared to more modern/traditional methods. I see Brown is recruiting multiple body types on offense, so we can attack from multiple ways, which you can still do that while maintaining speed & explosiveness as a foundation. We all see Brown is improving the talent level, just making an observation, a direction I hope he leans... Its just so freaking fun to watch too... Imagine being able to recruit at WVU's level, higher level of talent, but also built around speed. Basically like Cinnci, slightly faster & more talented, that would be a great brand of football.
