The hyperventilating over Georgia Southern's tempo…GSU goes about 1-2 seconds faster than Nebraska.
Y'know, when teams go super fast tempo, you know what they don't do? Switch personnel. Do I think Nebraska will mind playing Isaac Gifford over a third interior DL? I do not.

“Great running backs have the ability to anticipate, to feel the pressure of the chaos surrounding them on the field, and to create their own path to pay dirt,” Frank Solich once wrote.
