New article today in the Longmont Times Call (welcome to Brian Howell, our new Buffs beat writer) on the film study and adjustments that Speedy has done with Hagan since last season.
Looking at film, they agreed that he left about 400 rushing yards on the field last year from over-running the blocking, making the wrong cut or read, or making too many cuts in the open field instead of running straight for daylight when he got a seam. Speedy's also gotten a lot stronger by putting in the work with Pitman. Expect a big year from him.
Here's a good section from the article:
Hagan pointed to one run in particular. It was late in the season against Texas A&M, and Stewart had busted through the line and into the clear.
“He starts zigzagging down the field,” Hagan said. “I almost ran to the Buffalo in the middle of the field to meet him. I’m like, ‘Just run! You run a 4.35 (seconds in the 40-yard dash), but you run a 4.8 running side to side. Run vertical and go score a touchdown.’”
