This is where I don't buy that arguement. You play with ONE quarterback. Just ONE. You can have 5 WRs on the field at any one time, use a WR in Special Teams, and have a rotation of more than 5 guys running plays in and out of the huddle. QBs are different. You don't rotate QBs... WRs ya do.
You don't but many recruits do.
Zook took Benn he'd been the centerpiece of the Champaign passing game, not one of three. He'd be The Man.

IF Prater signs with ND as a freshman he's competing with Tate, Floyd, Kamara, Parris, Evans, Walker, plus Goodman and Toma.
As a soph he'd have Floyd, Walker, Goodman, Evans, and Toma, plus the other guys in his class and maybe Eifert.
