Which means if Huntley ran 26.316 feet per second for 6.233 seconds, he would travel 164.028 feet
Which means if Lamar ran at 27.650 feet per second for those same 6.233 seconds, he would travel 172.342 feet
A difference of 8.314 feet or 2 yards + 2 feet.
I'll put on my "Mythbusters" hat and say it's plausible that he scores, but not confirmed.
Correct, assuming contact is still made at the same exact time. We have at least demonstrated that Lamar would have definitely been further ahead than Huntley. If it played out the EXACT same way, Lamar would have been near the two yard line, just shy of it, instead of at the five. Contact angles are going to be different at that point, but a full speed Lamar at the two yard line likely has a high probability of scoring there. I don't think anyone has the angle to hit him and redirect him out of bounds.
