Relf has transformed from a relative nobody...

- Start date
He could have folded a few times this season and last, but the dude has shown a hell of a lot of guts and coachability.
I thought he did an excellent job today at just that. He was very, very patient in the pocket and only used his feet (aside from designed plays) to keep a play alive.mrmiyagi said:
... But this is the first game he did just that. Early this season I would agree, but starting with the Arkansas game he has been on par with running the ball.
is a total douchebag, just ignore him like everyone else does. He's on the express road to bansville anyway.
I thought he was hoppin around like there was bouncin betty was in the pocket. He lacked pocket sense. Trust me, I coach high school ball, and have a good eye for pocket sense among other things
Oh yeah? How many of your QB's you've coached play at the D1 level? Relf's pocket presence today was incredible. He did some Drew Brees shiznit with the juking in and out of DE's who came into the pocket without even looking around. Pocket presence.mrmiyagi said:
Maybe you're missing the point. Relf is a dual threat QB. He's suppose to run.
If one of my players used that kind of language I make them run windsprints until the cows came home
I actually coached Drew Brees, Wade Darnell, Roach Jackson, Tony Romo's little brother Barrett, Wyatt Holloway, Palmer Jones, Pistol Arnold, Big Frank Mackenzie among others.
There really is no other word for it. I saw his stats from his freshman year- he went something like 2 for 9 on the season. It was just awful. This fall, he went 4/10 on a scrimmage. He also couldn't clearly beat out Tyson Lee last year or Tyler Russell for the job this year- remember the two QB system at the beginning of the year?
And this is a guy that played in the wishbone at some ghetto high school in Montgomery, Alabama. I thought he would end up at TE- if he could catch the ball, or some other position. So, he had zero coaching in high school, and zero coaching from Croom and McCorvey for two years.
So, Dan Mullen gets ahold of this guy, and now he has turned him into a pretty good QB. And that's remarkable. Sure, there are some things that Relf could do better, but considering how far he has come, it's pretty amazing.
Now, he's the MVP of the Gator Bowl and basically the guy you would pick if you needed to beat Ole Miss.
This shouldn't happen. But it has. Relf should have long gone to pasture and be slinging it at some SWAC school. But that's inconceivable now. You have to credit Dan Mullen for this- a lot.
And here's what's exciting to me- what can Dan with someone that hasn't had all of the disadvantages that Relf had? Think about that.

High school he played in a running offense then first 2 years in college under Woody McCorvey and the Croom Coast offense. I think he has room for even more improvement which bodes well for next year. If he works hard in the offseason on both the physical part as well as the mental part he can lead us to big things next year.

Re-watch that game and you'll be blown away by the difference between the first and second halves. We dominated the second half, but were losing at half-time.
