the Black Tebow (facetiously) based primarily on his size and running ability.

I am now calling him the Black Matt Jones, based on his read option ability, and I'm serious this time. There is also the weed thing.

Did anyone else catch the irony of Mullen gashing Houston Nutt with a very similar read option to the one that Nutt had brought into Starkville a few years ago from Arkansas with Matt Jones that was pretty much unstoppable? Amazing.

If Cam Newton is half as good as advertised, he'll be getting the bulk of snaps. However, I'd like to see Relf on the field as either an H-back, or perhaps the short-yardage Quarterback.

Get him to lose some weight, work on his ball catching and blocking, and he could become a good physical WR that could maybe do a little wildcat. I think we need to keep him on the field somehow, and I love how his physical style of play showed those last 2 games against Arky and Ole Miss.
