Facts; He was highly rated out of HS. He didn't start teh first game but came in later during a blow loss to USC at home. He was surrounded by NFL talent on offense (3 NFL RBs and at least 2 futurn NFL WRs). He lost the job later in the year to DIck.
He went to USC and never moved higher than 3 on the USC depth chart.
He went undrafted. He tried his hand in the arena league. He did not last long.
As for the comparasion to the Mallett.........I was referrring more to the instate hype among the fans. You just had to live there and hear the sports talk shows and hear the Arkansas fans talk. 40K attended the state championship game to see Mustain play. I don't recall that amount of attention given to Mallett.
