MIAMI -- Carson Beck hasn't run a 40-yard dash in years, he said, but he can still remember the time he posted.
"Four-seven," he grinned. "And people still think I'm slow."
OK, Beck isn't exactly winning a sprint against Usain Bolt with that speed, but it hardly qualifies him as slow. What it did qualify him for, after he showcased his wheels on a 3-yard scramble into the end zone to secure Miami a trip to the College Football Playoff National Championship (Monday, 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN), was a new nickname: Vanilla Vick.
"I heard it," Beck said, "and I died laughing."
