Jimbo Fisher confirms Kellen Mond is Texas A&M's starting QB

It's official -- Kellen Mond is Texas A&M's starting quarterback.

On the afternoon before the Aggies open their season against Northwestern State, head coach Jimbo Fisher confirmed on the SEC's weekly teleconference that Mond will trot onto the field first against the Demons.

Mond, a sophomore, had been competing with fellow sophomore Nick Starkel for the Aggies' starting job. Throughout fall camp, the two had evenly split reps 50-50 with the first team, but in the end, Mond came out on top.

"I thought he had a little better camp overall and he is our starter," Fisher said of Mond on Wednesday's teleconference.
