Speed kills.
The more a football team has of it, the likelier they are to win. With the return of wide receiver Marquez Stevenson, Houston has speed.
Now, they have more.
On Dec. 18, the Cougars added 15 players to their roster including a speed merchant to pair-up alongside Stevenson: Independence (Kans.) Community College product receiver Nathaniel Dell, who has 4.3 40-yard-dash speed, as he said in a phone interview.
Dell answers coach Dana Holgorsen’s call for speed on offense.
