Not so fast, Patrick White
July 16, 2008 by Mike CasazzaThrough the years and all the mind-boggling runs and speed exhibitions, we’ve come to accept that Patrick White is one of the fastest players in college football. Some might say the fastest. It’s probably impossible to figure out who is No. 1, though you’d accept a case for White. Just watching some of the things he does and the ease with which he adds distance between him and defenders is pretty convincing.
Well, it turns out that he isn’t the fastest player in the country. Nor is he the fastest player on the team. Why, if you choose to believe the WVU media guide, Heisman Trophy candidate Patrick White is the seventh fastest player on the team, which, of course, is a splendid problem for Bill Stewart.
