Ark-kansas takes a hit...

The AP News wire has reported that Quarterback Mitch Mustain, who went 8-0 as a freshman starter last season for Arkansas, has transferred to Southern California.

Mustain, who will have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out next season, is enrolled at USC for summer school and attending classes.

Mustain completed 69 of 132 passes for 894 yards and 10 touchdowns with nine interceptions for the Razorbacks. But Mustain lost his job to Dick in the 10th game.

Wide receiver Damian Williams, also from Springdale, transferred from Arkansas to USC as well. Williams will also have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out next season.
Mustain is expected to compete for the starting quarterback position in 2008 with Mark Sanchez, who completed 3-of-7 passes for 63 yards for USC as a freshman last fall. John David Booty, who passed for 3,347 yards and 29 touchdowns for the Trojans last season, will be a senior next year.

I think it is safe to say that Coach Nutt is on the "hot" seat this upcoming season. Thoughts?

FYI....Greenwood athlete Jay Spearman (6-1, 205) has committed to USC. He made his pledge to Gamecock recruiter Brad Lawing on Monday night. USC is his only offer.

Playing quarterback last season, Spearman rushed for 1,111 yards and 17 touchdowns and passed for 1,108 yards and seven scores. He's the third commitment for USC's 2008 class.
