Even with Nick Starkel gone, don't expect Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond to change his approach this fall

Ben Baby, Texas A&M beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answers your questions about the team and the SEC in a live chat Thursday. Below are highlights, edited for clarity. Enjoy the full chat here.

Are there less distractions now for QB Kellen Mond with Nick Starkel out of the picture?

Baby: I don't necessarily think Starkel's presence in the QB room was a distraction for Mond. Mond is the type of player who always wants to be pushed to be great, no matter if he's competing for the starting job or not.
