I just loved how on Allen's kick return Tate was just jogging, Ussain Bolt style, while Allen is next to him going as hard as he can. Plus Tate caught him from pretty far back. Smoke show.

I have as much non-homo love for Golden as anyone, but he had the angle on the kick return. He may be as or who knows, even slightly faster than Allen, but it's not that one-sided. I'm jacked to have so many athletes. Now just to get the coaching to catch up to the recruiting....

actually i remember reading (maybe on irish insights?) that golden was the fastest player by far, then harrison smith, and then armando allen. the impression i got however, is that it actually is pretty one-sided. allen looks to have put on more speed again this year though and he looks a lot tougher. i love to see notre dame bringing in players fast enough to run the spread offense, smart enough to run the pro-style offense, and tough enough to smash heads when neither works.
