Interesting Perspective On Prince/Revolver

by Nestor on Apr 28, 2010 2:06 PM PDT

John Berkwotiz from UWDawgPound is doing one of those series of off-season list ranking Pac-10 positions. He started off with the QBs. I don't necessarily care about agreeing or disagreeing with his ranking of Pac-10 QBs but I found the nugget on Kevin Prince (he ranks Prince as the 5th best QB in the conference) very interesting:

Kevin Prince led UCLA to a bowl game last season and he showed continual improvement as the season went on. Rick Neuheisel experimented with the "Pistol" this spring because Prince ran it with success in high school. Kind of reminds when Neu adapted his offense to fit Tui's skill set. I think Prince has a lot of upside and the improvement will continue.

Hmm.That's the first time I have seen that reference.

Tui (Marques Tuiasosopo, the son of former great Bruin D-man Manu Tuiasosopo) was perhaps one of my favorite non-UCLA Pac-10 QB from last 10 years. I remember watching the Husky team from 99-00 which Tui (under CRN) led to a Rose Bowl victory over the Boilermakers.

It will be interesting to see how Prince develops next season. If he can play half as well as Tui did we could have a pretty fun season.

GO BRUINS.

Great NCAA comparison

I think a good NFL comparison might be Donovan McNabb. He was never a burner like Michael Vick, but he’s got a big body and will take the yards in front of him. I’m not sure how the Revolver will work out, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a clothed (not NAKED!) bootleg with Prince scampering for 5-10 yards every now and then. Excited for the season to start.

McNabb was not a burner in college

But if my memory serves correctly he was a very effective rushing QB. He had a pretty complete offensive package for a college QB. His ‘Cuse team was pretty fun to watch. If Prince can have his success I’d be absolutely ecstatic.
