Snippets from the White album

In addition to today's ruminations on the young man who is inarguably the most decorated quarterback in Mountaineers history, here are three extra, intriguing sound bytes.

Guard Greg Isdaner: "Best quarterback in the country, write it down. [Last year's Heisman Trophy winner from Florida] Tim Tebow's a good player and all, but. . . . [White] knows he's the best now. Some people let it go to their head, but he's using it to distance himself from the others."

Offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen: "He's already in meetings bringing up ideas and thoughts and tweaks and second-level adjustments that make me stop and go, [pretending to stare at the board] 'That's a good idea, Patrick. We're not going to do that yet.' " Hmm, makes it sound as if the White ideas will come into play later in the season, huh?. . . .

Finally, little brother Coley White: "He's more mature. He does better around the house, cleans up more - I think he got that from our brother, Bo [coaching at Bluffton University in Ohio], he's a neat freak. And [Patrick's] even letting me use his car around campus. I was surprised about that."
