Trevor Matich

ESPN NCAA analyst Trevor Matich called in to break down the Chip Kelly hire. Matich says that Kelly's offense will certainly translate to the NFL, although you wont see the 80 yard touchdowns. As far as personnel goes, Matich said that "ideally you'll have offensive skilled players that are quick enough to keep up."
