Tommy the Tater had rather give Davis the majority of carries than win the game. Ole hometown boy, (Atlanta), James Davis carried the ball 23 times for 77 yards, 1 TD, an average of 3.1 yards a pop. That does not win games. Spiller toted it 8 times for 112 yards, 1 TD. An average of 14 yards a pop. Thats why ClemSux lost the game. Coaching, Coaching, Coaching!!!!! Extend Tommy the Taters contract!! He's the man!!!!!!

Take away the 83 yarder that was a fluk and Spiller's avg. is 4.1

4.1 yards a pop wins games! It'll keep them first downs rolling....

The thing is, he runs a 4.19 in the 40 yard dash...if you make a mistake on the 2nd or 3rd level of the defense, he has the athleticism to make you look stupid. Regardless of how consistent he is from carry to carry, he always has the threat of going for a long one.

And how could you call that a fluke? Here's a fun fact for you. Guess how many players have more 50+ yard TD's in the last 2 years than CJ Spiller? The answer would be 0. He's had 10 runs like that in his college career and he's only a sophomore. A big play? Yes. A fluke? Not unless you call all big plays a fluke.

HaHa...he doesn't run a 4.19. You're an idiot to have bought into that. You know how much faster he would have to be than anyone in the world if he ran a 4.19 Do a little research man. The fastest 40 time ever recorded was Deon Sanders 4.22...yeah, Spillers not running any 4.19's...my guess is MAYBE a 4.28...do some research and don't buy into everything Clemson coaches try to say. You know, like how they play the toughest schedule in all of Division I football.

Many players with incredible times have also done amazing things in the NFL, for example:

Bo Jackson ran a 4.12[2]. As a part-time player, Bo averaged 5.4 yards per carry. He also had 221 rushing yards on November 30, 1987 (just 29 days after his first NFL carry), which is still a Monday Night Football record.
Deion Sanders officially ran a 4.17. He also ran a 4.57 backwards.
DeAngelo Hall, a cornerback currently playing for the Atlanta Falcons, ran a 4.15 second 40 yard dash (on a rubber track, which is considered informal for the 40 yard). On a regular dirt track he ran a 4.24.
Randy Moss, a wide receiver currently playing for the New England Patriots, ran a 4.25 second 40 yard dash. Moss currently holds the rookie TD reception record with 17 and the single-season TD reception record with 23.
Devin Hester ran a disappointing 4.5 40 at the 2006 NFL Scouting Combine, but then ran a 4.24 when he participated in the Pro Day event held by the University of Miami. He is now considered one of the best kick returners in NFL history and holds numerous return records.
Reggie Bush ran a 4.33, in 2006, he was the only rookie and the only running back to score a rushing TD and punt return TD. He also led the rookie running backs in receiving and set the NFL record for most catches by a NFL rookie running back
Ellis Hobbs, a cornerback currently playing for the New England Patriots, ran a 4.39 second 40-yard dash and has gone on to tie the record for the second-longest play, the longest being from chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie on a field goal that was returned. (a 108 yard kick return; Devin Hester and Nathan Vasher), and also hold the record for the longest kick return.
Other notable 40 yard dash times (not all official or electric gate times) are:

Joey Galloway ran a 4.18, Michael Bennett ran a 4.13, Willie Gault, who played with Walter Payton on the 1985 Chicago Bears, supposedly has time of 3.95 and 4.08. Considering this, the fastest 40 ran by a professional sprinter was 4.2/4.3 by Asafa Powell (9.74,World Record), so the 3.95 stands as incorrect. However, Gault did once run a more legitimate 4.1 40. There have been many other 4.1 and 4.2 40 yard dashes recorded, and many of these were hand timed once again bringing in the human factor of, "margin for error".


[edit] Current Fastest Players in the NFL

3) Joey Galloway (4.18)[3]

4) Ahman Green (4.19 @ Pre-Draft Workout in Nebraska)[3]

5) Donte Stallworth (4.22 @ 2003 Tennessee Pro Day)[3]

6) Willie Parker (4.23 @ 2004 North Carolina Pro Day)[3]

7) Devin Hester (4.24 @ Miami Pro Day, 4.50 @ 2006 NFL Combine)[3]

10) Stanford Routt (4.29 @ 2005 NFL Combine)[3]

Track coaches go to Pro Timing Days, and they see scouts starting their stopwatches with their thumb, which has a slower reaction time than the index finger. They see them crowding the finish line and anticipating -- guessing, basically -- when someone will cross it. They see running surfaces that weren't professionally measured or leveled. They see no starter's gun, no automatic timing device, no wind gauge.

Grizzled track coaches love to say that the "clock doesn't lie." Well, it does in football.

Say someone clocks a hand-timed 4.35 in an NFL workout.

The accepted standard to convert a hand-timed event to its automatically timed equivalent is to round up to the nearest tenth of a second -- in this case 4.4 -- and add .24 seconds. Now you're at 4.64.

Most football 40s don't go on a starter's pistol but on an athlete's motion. The average reaction time among elite sprinters (from the gun to the moment they exert pressure on the starting block's electronic pads) is about .15 seconds; for a football player with little track experience it probably would be closer to .2. Add that in, and you have 4.84.

I don't think I was talking to you. But anyway, maybe YOU need to do some research.

Do you mean that of all the Olympic sprinters there have been, that Deion (which is how it's spelled by the way, dumbass ****) has the fastest recorded 40-yard dash time in history? YOU BLOODY IDIOT!!! That may have been one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Chair Killers stats also blew that theory right out the water. I WAS WRONG AND I ADMIT IT. But you come on here talkin' smack to me when YOU'RE FLAT OUT WRONG TOO? What a joke, dude. Do you have any clue how stupid that makes you look.

Go fornicate with your sister, or your goat...or something...you Boonetown dumbass. I think you should be worried about your own team, and stop calling people out for being wrong when you don't even know what the **** you're talking about.

We were talking about football genius. I don't recall ever saying anything about the olympics. Are you an english teacher? I always laugh when people have no other comeback than to point out spelling errors. Do you know how stupid this makes you look? What a joke dude? Get fornicating with sisters and goats off your mind. Think before you speak.

No...even though we were talking about football, you specifically said "The fastest 40 time ever recorded was Deon Sanders 4.22." That statement is false, whether we're talking about football or not. Deion Sanders doesn't have the fast 40-time in the history of the NFL, or in the history of anything else. You were wrong regardless of the context of the discussion. You called me out all the while having no clue what you were talking about.

I think it's kind of ridiculous that if you know how to properly use grammar and spell correctly, you get accused of trying to be an English teacher. It's really not that hard...unless you're stupid that is.

I also laugh when a moron such as yourself practically mimics everything I say in a post intended to make me look bad. Ironic? Very much so.

To mimic you in the same fashion as you did me, "think before you speak."

Checkmate.

3.9 vs 4.1 ????
I think I'll give it to a guy that'll hit the freakin hole and try running over someone vs dancing around and looking to break it everytime.
Tell me this coot have you watch the 2 run the ball this year? If so you should know Davis is clearly the best back. Of course you being a coot you would'nt know much about football to start with. Click Clack

Mimicking you was sarcasm IDIOT! Gah man, are you that stiff necked? And let me be very clear English teacher...this is a message forum not an MLA format creative writing assignment.Take one of your blood pressure pills. I didn't mean to get you all riled up. It's okay buddy...you're be alright. HaHa...Checkmate.

Jacoby Ford runs a 4.126 forty yard dash. Suck on both, you two. From clemsontigers.com, about Ford in the overview section, it states "has been recorded at 4.13 in the 40."

http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/ford_jacoby01.html

There you go again, confusing dumbcocks with factual information. You should know that goes completely against their coot logic, which uses NO factual information.
