re: Julio the Beast

He is a lot faster than people want to give him credit for. I'd guess he probably runs a 4.45-4.48 40. Not elite speed, but he isn't slow for a guy his size. It's not his fault that we run the ball most of the time, and almost all the time in the red zone. Most touchdowns don't come on big plays, and he has limited opportunities inside the 20. The guy is having a bad year. It's obvious that he is extremely talented though, and I have no doubts that he will turn it around soon now that he's back to 100%. I don't see why people (LSU and AU fans in particular) feel the need to disparage the guy. It isn't his fault he gets hype. He didn't ask for it.

They do it because so many Bama fans talked so much shite about how great Julio is/was for so long....
