We had a reliable placekicker in Rogers that year: hopefully Coe is successful in that role. If we also come close to finding players to match what Gilyard and Pead did in 2009 we might have a formidable offense next year.

They didn't play interchangeably though. Zach only started playing in 2009 after Tony got hurt. For the final regular season game against Illinois, they did interchange, but that was because Tony was still not 100%. This is why it is important for the staff to get an experienced QB on the roster-- regardless of who will be the starting QB in the fall, prior to adding Bryant the options were going to be three guys who have a total of 11 pass attempts to their name. If Prater is the guy we hope he is and he gets the start, if he goes down they would be extremely thin without adding an experienced QB.
