ORLANDO – Will Shipley is excited for the future, and part of that future includes Wednesday’s bowl game against Iowa State.
The Cyclones run a complex 3-3-5 (three safeties) defense, giving them numbers on the edge on most plays. One way to attack that defense is tempo, and while Shipley is just a freshman, he’s wise enough to know not to give away the gameplan.
But he hinted at it after the Tigers completed bowl practice Monday afternoon at Orlando’s Boone High School, saying that the tempo that helped the Tigers rush for 598 yards against Wake Forest and South Carolina might play a role in the game against the Cyclones.
