"The neat part for us is, all three of these guys haven't hit their ceiling yet, not even close. It's just a tough deal because you usually only play one at a time. So you gotta be an unselfish player, and I think these guys are now."

We both felt RR has to have been keeping something up his sleeve for Sparty.  The offense hasn't had to show many wrinkles due to the sheer dominance of Denard, but I would be SHOCKED if there aren't a few plays that involve more than 1 of the QB's.  My favorite would be Denard and Gardner in the backfield, maybe trying to get Gardner isolated on a LB on a wheel route or a jumpball play near the goalline similar to the one that tOSU ran for Pryor a couple of times when Boeckmann was there.

Maybe Coach Rod has a few tricks up his sleeve for the Big Ten season?  How can you not figure out a way to get two QBs on the field at the same time?  Like coach has said, they're too talented to not play them.

By the way, all 3 of our QBs would more than likely be starters on any team.  They're that good.  Let's hope someone doesn't decide to transfer.  This is really going to be tough on Coach Rod the next couple years.

but can you picture the defense's reaction if Tate took the snap and Denard was in motion? The entire defense would immediately be sucked into wherever DR was going, and if Tate pump-faked a throw to DR, I'm pretty sure Tate would have some other guys wide open.

Wojo repeatedly proves that a writer can enjoy the team he is writing about without being a sycophant.  He is talented, funny, and is by far the most objective writer in the market.  Unfortunately, or maybe not, because Wojo is so good at deflecting attention away from himself, and never, even in mock-heroic satire pieces, makes the writer more important than the story, he probably won't get the recognition he deserves.

I am guessing, though, that he doesn't really need all of the attention other writers do, and is happy with that.
