Remember Mitch Mustain?


Jul 28, 2022, 12:12 AM

Has to be one of the greatest "no explanation" busts of all time.

There is a documentary about him on Amazon Prime. I think it is called "The Identity Theft of Mitch Mustain". He went 8-0 as a freshman starter at Arkansas around 2003 or so and then just disappeared. He was ranked ahead of or equal to Tim Tebow by Rivals. The documentary pretty well blames it all on Houston Nutt and Gus Mahlzahn. And, it's hard to disagree. The kid never had a father or any direction, and Mitch never got centered as a result. Wound up selling cars for awhile. I hope he got some direction later in life.

I watched it. It was good. Houston Nutt was a name floated around before we hired Bowden. Guy was a decent coach but always seemed a little slimy for some reason.

Coach Nutt last name explains everything.

I was living in Arkansas at the time he was a freshman and got to see

Him play at the stadium in Little Rock. He was launching it, had a strong arm. But I remember thinking that if he threw that ball with an lsu or Alabama secondary it would have been picked all day long. I don’t know all the behind the scenes stuff but his mom was very involved and would try to talk to the coaches etc. I think he thought he was a lot better than he really was. If it was all Arkansas coaches then why didn’t he flourish at usc?

When he was a freshman and Arkansas started 8-0 it was about like our 9-0 start in 2000. There is nothing wrong with being undefeated but you know when you have a dominant team and you know when you are very beatable. That Arkansas team was nothing special. Our 2000 team had to out score people and teams figured out our offense. Mustain transferred to SoCal and disappeared. That was his decision so I hope he looks in the mirror when pointing fingers.
