ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is no stranger to opening the season with a redshirt freshman starter at quarterback.It worked out pretty well for the Seminoles three years ago with a guy named Jameis Winston, who won the Heisman Trophy as a redshirt freshman and led FSU to the 2013 national championship.Enter Deondre Francois, another redshirt freshman Fisher has been bullish about since the spring. Francois is set to make his first start Monday when No. 4 Florida State goes up against No. 11 Ole Miss (8 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Fisher seems more eager than antsy to see what Francois can do, even though the quarterback is a youngster on such a big stage.Part of that is Francois can play and has proved it on the Seminoles practice field. But another part is that the guy getting Francois ready to play has a proven track record when it comes to developing quarterbacks, and that goes for quarterbacks of all different styles and at a couple different places.Randy Sanders is one of the most underrated quarterback coaches in the country. He might not have the same fanfare as some of the other so-called quarterback gurus around the country, but Sanders has a résumé that puts fanfare to shame.Hes a great quarterbacks coach, the best Ive been around, said former Kentucky coach Joker Phillips, whos now working as a quality control assistant on Urban Meyers staff at Ohio State. Hes honest with his players, able to coach his guys hard because of his relationship with them and has a great football mind.Sanders, who doesnt do media interviews per Fishers policy at FSU, has worked with everybody from Peyton Manning to Tee Martin to Randall Cobb to Winston.The year after Manning left Tennessee, the Vols won the national championship with Martin taking over as quarterback. Sanders first game as Tennessees play-caller came in the 1998 national championship game after David Cutcliffe left his post as offensive coordinator to take the Ole Miss head coaching job.I just remember how calm he was, that nothing really rattled him, said Martin, now USCs co-offensive coordinator. It was the biggest game of his life, and hed just been put in that role as a young coach. His demeanor gave me confidence. Theres an air about him where hes tough on you but also puts you at ease because of how prepared he always is.You know you can trust him because of the way he sees the game. He makes you understand why hes calling what hes calling, and not a lot of coaches can do that.Sanders, 50, is entering his fourth season at FSU and his third as co-offensive coordinator. Fisher noted last season that he had given Sanders more of a role in calling the Seminoles plays, so its obvious Fisher has supreme confidence Sanders, who played quarterback at Tennessee and understands as well as anybody the pitfalls of playing and coaching the most important position on the field, especially when that guy is also the play-caller.Sanders was the scapegoat at Tennessee in 2005 when a quarterback controversy rocked the team, sending the Vols spiraling to the first losing season of longtime coach Phillip Fulmers career. The offense never got on track that season, and Sanders stepped down as offensive coordinator in the middle of the year. He remained on staff but was no longer the primary play-caller.When Cutcliffe returned to Tennessees staff the next season as offensive coordinator, Sanders went his own way and landed at Kentucky. It was a bitter pill for him to swallow, leaving his alma mater in those circumstances, but he gained a ton of support in the coaching profession by the way he handled his exit.He didnt point fingers and never spoke publicly about being unfairly blamed for the Vols problems. Instead, he kept his head down and found a new coaching home.Thats Randy and why guys love playing for him, Martin said. Its never about him. Its always about the team and his players, doing what he can to make them better. Hell take the heat, but he lets everybody else take the credit.At Kentucky, Sanders helped turn Andre Woodson into an SEC record-holder, the same Woodson who was battling with Curtis Pulley just to win the starting quarterback job the previous spring. Woodson responded by throwing 71 touchdowns over the next two seasons, including an SEC-record 40 touchdowns as a senior in 2007.In 2009, Mike Hartline was the Wildcats starter until he injured his knee in the fifth game. Sanders was forced the juggle Cobb, Will Fidler and true freshman Morgan Newton at the quarterback position, and Kentucky was still able to make a bowl game.In 2010, Hartline bounced back from his knee injury to pass for 3,178 yards, 23 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. And in 2011, Sanders got receiver Matt Roark ready to play quarterback in the season finale after injuries sidelined Maxwell Smith and Newton, and Kentucky ended a 26-year losing streak against Tennessee with a 10-7 win over Sanders alma mater.Hartline, whos now a quarterback intern on Ohio States staff, said its no coincidence that Sanders has been around so many productive quarterbacks.He does an incredible job of knowing who he has at quarterback and understanding what that person can and cant do and then communicating to the head coach the best positions to put that guy in in order to be able to win games, Hartline said. Hes a very strict guy and cuts through all the B.S. really quickly and makes you understand what he expects out of you.I trusted him so much in the game plan that if I came out and had one of the best games of my career, and he came in the film room the next day and said that I played like crap, then I was convinced that I played like crap. He instilled confidence in guys, and thats what separates him from most coaches.Winston was 26-1 as a starter under Sanders tutelage at FSU in 2013 and 2014. And even last season, despite losing Winston, four offensive linemen, one of the nations top tight ends and the schools career leader in receptions, the Seminoles still averaged 31.7 points per game while playing two quarterbacks, Everett Golson and Sean Maguire.Maguire, who injured his foot in preseason camp, may be back sooner than expected, but its Francois show for now.Theres no doubting Francois skill set. He can throw it and also has the ability to extend the play and make things happen with his legs. The only thing working against him is his lack of experience.But thats where Sanders comes in.You judge a guy based on what he can bring out of his players, Martin said. With Randy, youre going to see the true identity of his quarterbacks, and thats whoever he coaches, whether its a pocket passer, dual-threat guy, a guy whos very talented or a guy with limited talent. Whoever it is, hes going to bring out the best in that quarterback, and hell do it again this year just like he always does.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Salvador Perez gave Royals reliever Brooks Pounders his first career win, Mariners starter James Paxton a frustrating no-decision and Kansas City a much-needed confidence boost with one mighty swing.Perez capped a three-hit night with a double off the wall in the ninth inning Thursday night, scoring Whit Merrifield and Jarrod Dyson and giving the Royals a 4-3 victory over Seattle to open a four-game set.How many times have we been through it? I mean, we fight. We keep fighting, said Danny Duffy, who kept the Royals in the game with 6 1/3 strong innings. Youre never out of the game with these boys.Paxton kept them out of it for eight innings, using just 78 pitches to get that far. The only damage he allowed came in the eighth when Paulo Orlando delivered a two-out single to get Kansas City within 3-2.Steve Cishek (2-5) came on to close the game and Merrifield doubled to lead off the ninth. Kendrys Morales was hit by a pitch moments later, Jarrod Dyson came on to run for him, and Eric Hosmer struck out before Perez dug in at the plate and a crowd of 31,425 reached a fevered pitch.He lined a shot to center to give Pounders (1-0), who pitched an inning of relief, his stunning win.Its a great moment in my life, the big reliever said. To walk away with a win in that game is just unbelievable. It says a lot about the team we have here.The victory snapped a four-game skid for Kansas City an extended Seattles road losing streak to 10.I dont know if you can be much more in control of the game to being on the wrong side of things in an inning and a half, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Tough game to lose.The Mariners built an early 2-0 lead not with a homer -- they entered the game tied for second in the majors with 128 of them -- but with old-fashioned small ball. Dae-Ho Lee scored from second on Dan Robertsons single in the second inning, and Robertson scored after a sacrifice bunt and sacrifice fly in the fifth.Nelson Cruz added a homer off Joakim Soria in the eighth.Those three runs seemed insurmountable the way Paxton was cruising along.dddddddddddd.He induced inning-ending double plays the first two innings, then another one in the third after back-to-back singles led it off. Ketel Marte then made a nice play ranging out from third base on Alex Gordons blooper into shallow left field to leave Brett Eibner on third base and end the inning.The worst throw Paxton made before the eighth wasnt to the mound but to first base, when Kendrys Morales chopped a grounder back to him the previous inning. Paxtons throw slipped and bounced halfway to the bag.With everything else going for him, it still beat Morales easily for the out.They were popping up the cutter, hitting it on the ground. A lot of ground balls, Paxton said. Guys were making great plays behind me. So thats what happens, you saw guys turn double plays.STATS AND STREAKSMorales was 0 for 3 before getting hit by a pitch in the ninth, allowing him to extend his streak of reaching safely to 21 starts. ...
