Steve Spurrier wasted no time, naming sophomore Blake Mitchell his starting QB just days into fall camp. According to Spurrier, the LaGrange native has proven that he's better prepared than redshirt freshman Antonio Heffner and true freshman Cade Thompson. Mitchell responded with an up-and-down camp, garnering praise from Spurrier one day and criticism the next. If we can't throw, we'll run up the middle and punt, ... And if our defense plays this well, if we can win 13-10, that's what we'll try to do to win.
