We did not have a player quite as good as Tua on the roster last year (and no one even close in 2016), but we did have 2 players who were much better passers last year and were never given a shot as Meyer just trusted JT more.edit: The only reason I even mentioned it at all in this thread is because BIGTide mentioned Urban Meyer doing the same sort of thing with his quarterback that doesn't produce much of a passing threat. I would note, however, that though I don't watch Ohio State very much, I don't think they have a guy as talented as Tua Tagovailoa on the bench.
