One's foot speed can be increased. From quick to quicker. From slow to not as slow. Not saying Cedric is slow, just saying foot speed can be made quicker through hard work and commitment in order to compete in the Big Ten.
Admittedly, I have not seen Cedric play, but, some who have, indicate he needs to seriously work on his foot speed. Fortunately, foot speed can be improved through concentrated effort!
Yes. I watched them, in person, frustrate the Gophers' offense the entire game. I think that game was their "Super Bowl" and brought their best effort.
