re: Kellen Mond cut from NFL team

But he didn't really. He was playing in the SWC when most regional powers were flat on their as and uncompetitive. He had a very bad record against ranked teams.

1987 - He beat a #20 Arkanas who would go on to finish unranked. Beat a good Tim Brown ND team

1988- Played 5 ranked teams and lost all 5 games

1989- Best year - Beat a couple top 10 teams in LSU and Houston but then dropped a game to ranked Arkansas and we lost the Sun Bowl to a so-so Pitt team ranked 24th

1990 - Played 2 ranked teams all season and lost to both. Recovered with the big win over Ty Detmer and BYU

So he had a record of 5 wins and 9 losses against ranked teams.

Mond was worse in this category in my mind, but Bucky's rep as a big game dude is overblown when you analyze his career.
