Rotating has happened from tine to time (and is generally disfavored) with occasional success. Dick Tomei did it in the late 90s with Keith Smith and Ortege Jenkins. When it is done it is because the two QBs have differing skillsets and the rotation is done for the purpose of taking advnantage of that. In Tomei's case Smith was the better passer and Jenkins the better runner. And he rotated the QBs by quarters. Don't remember the Wachholz situation but my recollection is Brad Otton wasn't much of a runner.
But rotating is not what JS was doing with DJU and Chiles. JS brought Chiles in for one possession each game. And it didn't appear to be situational to me. I would agree that DJU and Chiles had differing skillsets--Chiles was a faster decision maker, a better scambler, and seemed to have a better overall feel for the game. But the substitution wasn't for the purpose of taking advantage of that. Had it been he would have kept Chiles in the games longer. We scored on most of Chiles' possessions.

But the substitution wasn't for the purpose of taking advantage of that. Had it been he would have kept Chiles in the games longer. We scored on most of Chiles' possessions. This is well-said. I have no issue with using a second quarterback like Oregon State used Colletto. You bring in a quarterback to take advantage of a certain down and distance. But formulaically bringing in a quarterback for one drive, when the other team knows that you are going to do it, and then bringing him out for the rest of the game, shutting down and then trying to get your starter hot again seems extremely stupid. If Smitty wanted to, he would have been plugging Chiles in on important downs or distances, where the other teams least expected it. Keep the other team guessing. It should also be noted that Chiles got three points against Arizona and zero points against Washington. A cold DJU came back in and got zero points in the next two drives against Arizona and only three points in the next three drives against Washington. By that time, the game against Washington was basically over, 22-10. There was less of an issue about keeping DJU hot against Arizona, but taking out DJU for Chiles to only get three was stupid.

Otton and Wachholz were rotated by quarter as well, until maybe the bowl game? Not 100% sure on it. Both were back-up QBs in 1994 and both went into 1995 vying for the starting role. Both QBs were similar style pocket passers. Their statistics were strikingly similar for both passing and running. In fact, their passing stats were nearly identical.

From the list of TE on the roster, I am guessing we are going with Cal transfer Terry and hoping he develops into what everyone thought he could be. I didn't realize he was the ESPN #1 TE in HS in 2021.

I didn't realize he was the ESPN #1 TE in HS in 2021. He should have more chances at being a receiving TE as opposed to blocking most of the time. I saw a video of him working out with all the receivers on their own time.
