per Marcus:
In Jerry Kill's 21 seasons as a college head coach, every starting quarterback in his system has improved in his third year. And for the first time since Chandler Harnish at Northern Illinois in 2010, Kill will open this season with a junior quarterback who has experience running his offense.
MarQueis Gray, now an NFL tight end, was the most-recent junior starting quarterback at Minnesota, but that was in Kill's first year at Minnesota, in 2011.
"Mitch has only been a starter for a year, but he did get some experience as a freshman," Kill said Tuesday. "I've always said he's a lot like Chandler Harnish. Chandler really came into his own about this time. So I think it's a very similar situation."
