    His 92 yd run was phenomenal but what is really cool is whne he hits the endzone he drags his feet and pulls up those rubber granules that the turf consists of...looks like his feet are smoking.

    Check the replays...:helmet:

    I noticed that, so cool. I also noticed that the Arkansas return was a top play nominee. It was a good return, but it didn't exactly score.

    SMOKING FEET, ESPN. Smoking freaking feet.

    Ok, that's what that was.

    Yeah, that was sweet.

    Happy for this kid. He didn't get the PT he deserved early in pivotal games but he sure as hell had a significant part in both the UT and Arkansas wins. I would go as far as to say LSU loses both games if Holliday never sees action in these 2 games.

    Thank you very much young man. You did everyone proud.

    amazing. fastest thing ihave ever seen on the football field.i mean an arky guy takes an angle(looked like a DB 20-something) and still got burnt by 5 yards in about the last 30 yards. the TE who started in front of me(we run the spread) is very very similar. he is one of the fastest guys in the state i believe but he is very small like trindon. he took the opening kickoff of the season 88 yards to the house, burnt everybody, granted, the competition is nowhere near as fast but very similar body types. anyways, that kickoff was amazing, once he got past about the 35 i knew he was gone.

    There are a lot of speed guys typically on special teams (for obvious reasons). I would not be surprised to find out that the Arkansas guy runs something close to a 4.4 40. Trindon is astronomically fast.

    Holiday was clocked at 4.27 in high school. I bet he could beat that in a year or so...

    ok so i couldnt sleep as i think ive finally gotten over what i witnessed with that run. initially, i thought i was watching tecmo bowl or something as it was surreal how fast that kid blew through that hole. I saw deion in his prime at fsu and he is probably the fastest guy ive ever seen in college and think maybe he is the only legit football guy who ran close to a 4.3. every recruit runs a 4.3 ever since the dawn of time.

    everyone said trindon ran that 4.2 whatever and of course i didnt believe it then also heard he didnt even run it from a crouched position so i knew it was bs. yet when i saw that initial 40 yards or whatever i think that may be the fastest burst ive ever witnessed. what the hell was that. I dont even think it was a burst. most track guys dont convert their speed to the field with the pads on but I was pretty much in "shock and awe".

    seriously i thought mcfadden's play right before was amazing and was thinking how incredibly fast he looked but trindon made that play look like slow-motion. I just pray someone like beckwith doesnt hit him full bore or there may actually be some sort of molecular implosion that could destroy the universe or set off some kind of strange reaction that threatens mankind's existence. well, at least his.

    I think the fascinating thing about Holiday is that because he is so small, there is little to no acceleration. He just starts at top speed or something. Awesome.

    oops didnt read this first but i concur. i think its the fastest thing ive witnessed on a football field as well.

    true and all little guys look like they are hauling ass even if they arent because their legs are moving like the flintstones taking off in their nice peddle cars but he may be faster than fred and barney on crack.

    Holliday's was longer and as friedriches indicated, it has a snazzier finish.
