From LATimes.com:
What's your relationship like with Mitch?
It think it's similar to the way John David and I were at the beginning when I first came in. We're cordial. We don't go out of our way to hang out around campus or anything like that but if he ever needed a ride or I needed a ride we can talk to each other about whatever. We're good friends. . . . There's no hatred. As much as [people] try and put you against each other it's not like that at all. We both obviously want to play just like any quarterback would. And the toughest part is that it's not like a receiver or a lineman or a running back where you rotate. There's one quarterback.
What do you think is Mitch's best attribute?
He has a great arm. He can throw the ball through a brick wall; he really has a strong arm. His experience at Arkansas will help him because he played just as many if not more games than me in a big-time conference at a major Division I school. It's not like there were any slouches. He was playing against good players and good teams.
Definitely worth reading the whole thing. Tomorrow, Gary Klein is posting his interview with Mitch Mustain. The media is already hyping the battle between the two QB's but I don't buy it, I think the battle will be a tug-of-war for Pete Carroll's patience. As far as I'm concerned, Mark will be the starter at Virginia unless he absolutely tanks in epic proportions during Spring/Fall. Whether he gets 1, 2, or 3 bad games on his insurance card is what I believe is truly at stake during Spring/Fall camp.
I've said numerous times before that I've watched Mark since he was at MVHS and I believe he will not only be a Heisman finalist (and possible winner) before he leaves SC, but will also lead us to the NC (whether we win depends on the opponent). A lot of SC fans seem to be jumping on the Mustain bandwagon, but I'm sticking with Mark through and through. Only time will tell...
