    Chip Kelly setting tempo aside, but Ohio State football could innovate elsewhere

    Ohio State football offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is no superhero, but his perspective on his reputation sounds a little like comic book philosophy. In one of the most enduring quotes from Christopher Nolan's “The Dark Knight,” Harvey Dent said, “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” In Kelly's case, the opposite came true. The hyper-tempo spread offense with which he made his reputation at Oregon at first drew criticism from some coaches — even legends.
