Fun 'fact' - unscientific Jabrill 100m dash
Peppers, in typical Peppers fashion, does not have a switch to go less than 100%. So I tried some unscientific timing to see what his runback clocked out to for that busted 2pt conversion.
- Picked up the ball at the 12.5 yard line, so 87.5 yards to run
- Three 'timings' of mine averaged to 8.76 seconds for those 87.5 yards
Equivalent 100m dash was 10.94 seconds. In pads. At the end of a game. Where he played 70+ snaps (per ESPN).
I'm looking forward to another seven games with him in the Maize and Blue!

way up after yesterday. He WILL be traveling to New York. And you're absolutely right--he punctuated a somewhat less-than-thrilling second half by making Mork Dantoni look really, really petty. In a weird way, it echoed the end of last year's game. The first time, they say, as tragedy, the second time as farce.

It was considered since he was stumbling when he picked up the ball so it seemed like a reasonable wash so didn't explicitly mention it.

He was about 2 seconds slower than a world class sprinter over that 80m.
World class sprinters come in right around 6.9s for the last 80m.

Yet, he scooped up the ball, was bent over while doing so and then had to carry the ball the entire distance. No one runs as fast with a ball as they do without. Maybe spiderman could.

Carlina also beat me with this info.
October 30th, 2016 at 8:20 AM ^
He was already moving, so you have to add a bunch of time to account for the deadstop start of a 100m.
Still, yes, he's quite fast.
EDIT: Damn it, beaten by carolina blue.
October 30th, 2016 at 8:20 AM ^
He is fast
Trying to time it off tv and comparing to 100 m dash time -worthless

Cow Town Bitches got what they deserved: The Lil' Bro is back where she came from.

87.5 yards / 8.76 seconds = 9.989 yards per second
That would be an average speed of 20.43 MPH in pads and after being on the field for the better portion of three and a half hours.
That's impressive.

I don't mean to be a downer...He had a running start. A confounding factor.

Nice to see the "Well actually..." crowd got some good sleep last night.
OP used "fun" and "unscientific" in his post and we've got a bunch of track experts out here trying to uphold the sanctity of the 100m dash. (And none of you knuckleheads pointed out that there's a difference between 1m and 1 yard...so take that!)
I like your post OP and was curious how fast he covered the length of the field. +1 to you, sir.

Another good point. Cleats on a ripped up field.
October 30th, 2016 at 10:24 AM ^
"On grass" is a great point. Sprints are run on pretty firm surfaces.

Whatever all you track guys want to argue about is fine. Even if it never helps your claim that you were one of the fastest on a track but didn't have the elite closing speed or burst on the turf. I guran fucking T every one of you skinny geeks that Peppers is at a speed on the turf when he is running someone down that he could never reach on a track.

Clemson won a close one, Washington same thing (although against a highly ranked team), Louisville barely won and Ohio State won a tight one against Northwestern. I suppose Washington could go up but I doubt it would jump ahead of us. My guess it stays the same.

I hope we get paired with Clemson in the CFP.

It would give us much more time to prepare for them. With the Harbaugh effect in place...

Carrying a football probably throws off a top sprinter more than the pads or helmet because it is assymmetrical and throws off the arm action. High end runners all are super smooth and anything that breaks that smooth line and rhythm costs time and slows them down.
Amazingly fast.

Conventional wisdom is that carrying the football slows the ball carrier down by 0.2 seconds, Not sure if that is 40 or 100 yard time.
