Living in fear my *** (previous post). It's knowing and respecting possibilties when you have two running quarterbacks in the current college game. Just because Meyer stayed healthy, doesn't mean
they will. Murphy's Law, Cyclone Edition. Remember also that Mac called less rushing plays for Meyer so that he wouldn't get hurt, and AA would get his redshirt in.
And if you just casually want to put Tiller at the helm with no more familiarity with the playbook than Phillip had last fall...holy cow, I can't even find words for that.
