Or got a legitimate chance to Prove himself as a starter. Nothing wrong with this, Baylor was 3rd string coming into the season behind a second year starter who Grimes specifically targeted as a recruit when he came in as OC, and super athletic local kid with a great HS career and a lot of fans/expectation. Not Necessarily politics, just the way it goes. Talent sometimes gets buried on the depth chart until they can prove what they can do on the field, See Doman As 3rd stringer until the last couple games of his Junior year.

FWIW offensive coaches during fall ball talked about how impressed they were with Romney.
