2007 Mountaineer Football West Virginia vs. Mississippi State • Oct. 20, 2007 Mountaineers • The Mississippi State Game • MSNsportsNET.com What They’re Saying About Patrick White

“He can go for a home run at any time. He’s fast, and he can stop on a dime. He can be going full speed horizontally, stick a foot in the ground and go full speed vertical. Give him just a little bit of daylight, and he’s off.” – Rutgers coach Greg Schiano

“From the moment the then redshirt freshman came off the bench in the Mountaineers’ Oct. 15, 2005, game against Louisville and promptly led a 17-point, fourth-quarter comeback and triple-overtime victory, it was obvious he possessed that rare ability to change the course of a game in one play.” – Stewart Mandel, CNNSI.com

“I like Pat White at West Virginia; I really do. … For college football right now with the offense that West Virginia runs … He’s a dynamic runner and a better thrower than people give him credit for, and I think he will be even better throwing the football this year. – ESPN’s on who he thinks is the best quarterback in the nation.

“I’m going after Pat White at West Virginia. He has amazing arm strength, but I have to see just how fast he is. He makes people look like they are standing still.” - winner on who he would pay to watch.

“If winning – especially big games – is the gold standard, then today’s WVU fans are watching the greatest quarterback in the school’s history in Patrick White.” – Bob Hertzel, formerly of the Dominion Post and now with Fairmont Times West Virginian.

“You think you have Pat White for a sack and the next thing you know he turns it into a first down.” – Bill Cubit, Western Michigan Head Coach

“Everyone wants to have that special player. He’s just a tremendous competitor. He continues to prove he’s one of the best football players this school has ever had.” – Rich Rodriguez, WVU Head Coach
