Speaking yesterday with Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens, who was in the soggy Southern California recruiting, I asked him about quarterback Dalyn Williams being named along with Yale tailback Tyler Varga as a finalist for the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League's outstanding offensive player. Here's part of what he had to say:
I’m certainly not surprised. I’m happy for him and I’m happy for the program. It’s well-deserved. We put a lot of pressure on our quarterback in terms of protections, schemes, run-pass options. I thought that he matured tremendously through the course of the season. He protects the ball well and his touchdowns to interceptions ratio is ridiculous. He has a wonderful ability to keep a play alive with his feet. That’s where you see the game going at the national level and certainly it is nice to have a guy like him who can do so many different things for us. It is quite an honor for him to be considered and hopefully it goes well for him.
