When Jerry Kill talks about Minnesota's apparent lack of speed, I think he is doing so in the context of the kind of defenses Gary Patterson has put together at TCU. Until Kill gets the kind of defensive ends and cornerbacks he wants to anchor his defenses, he won't be happy with team speed at Minnesota.
The game of football changes over time. What Gary Patterson has done with defenses at TCU may be changing the game nationally. TCU really, really opened some eyes with the way they played Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. The Badgers came in as the ultimate power offense in college football with a huge size advantage over TCU. Speed on defense killed Wisconsin in that game.
Finally, NUI under Kill gave Wisconsin all they wanted on defense a while back in Madison.
