As he watched film of Bowling Green's offense in preparation for Saturday's matchup, one thing caught Maryland middle linebacker Jermaine Carter Jr.'s eye: Speed.
In one 90-second segment of the Falcons' 59-30 loss to Tennessee last week, Carter watched Bowling Green run six plays. That's an average of 15 seconds per play, making any substitutions and getting back to the line of scrimmage for the next snap a challenge. The Falcons ran 85 plays and rolled up 557 yards against a talented Southeastern Conference squad in the Volunteers.
Bowling Green brings that up-tempo offense to Byrd Stadium in what could be a stiff test at breakneck speed for a revamped Maryland defense coming off a dominant performance a week ago.
