Chicago Bears by the numbers: Why did Case Keenum get the QB ‘win’ instead of Tyson Bagent?
Case Keenum is 2-0 this season. At least according to the stat keepers.

Tyson Bagent also was on the field, lined up at wide receiver, so both quarterbacks technically started.

As a redshirt freshman for the Trojans, Moss thought he might make his first career start in one of college football's iconic bowls.
