Kellen Mond – Noteworthy
After Kellen Mond turned the ball over on Texas A&M’s first two drives of the second half on Saturday against Mississippi, coach Jimbo Fisher thought about making a quarterback change. But after looking into Mond’s eyes, something told him that he would bounce back. So, he stuck with him and the sophomore rebounded to lead the Aggies to four scoring drives after his errors to give Texas A&M a 38-24 win. “When you’re the quarterback you’re going to have those moments of should I take him out? Should I not take him out? (But I) have faith in him,” Fisher said. “He deserved the chance to go back in because I knew the look in his eye and the competitor he was.” “That’s what great players do … they’re able to respond to that adversity,” Fisher continued. Mond threw TDs of 21, 10 and 5 yards and his touchdown run was a 1-yard scamper in the first quarter. After being outscored 28-0 in the fourth quarter of consecutive losses to Auburn and Mississippi State, Texas A&M (6-4, 4-3 SEC) scored its first fourth-quarter points since Oct. 13 when Seth Smalls made it 24-21 with a 46-yard field goal early in the period. – AP College Football
