This. The only reason why Zow didn't come in and start over John David Phillips in 1998 is because he was a freaking true freshman. By the end of the year, however, he was the starting QB. In 1999 that job was his. In 2001 he didn't start out as the starting QB because we were running a more option oriented offense that Tyler Watts was better suited for. By the end of the year, however, Zow was the starter and was winning us ball games.

And Zow took the Job from John David Phillips in 1998, Phillips didn't get hurt.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (BP)--At the conclusion of a recent University of Alabama football game, backup quarterback John David Phillips made his way, like he does after every contest - win or lose - to the center of the field. Once there, he kneeled, took the hand of an opposing player, bowed his head and began to thank God in prayer.
Since being demoted to second string after only the fourth game of the season, many might question Phillips' thankfulness - especially after the four long years of patiently waiting and preparation that led up to this, his final year to play for the Crimson Tide.
Phillips, a fifth-year senior, was named Alabama's starting quarterback Aug. 21, two weeks before the Tide's season opener against Brigham Young. Four games, 112 plays, 46 completions (out of 84 attempts) for 429 yards and one touchdown later, that job was lost.
From his impressive showing in the much-anticipated opening matchup against Brigham Young Sept. 12 (hitting on 17 of 29 passes for 188 yards while leading the Tide to five scoring drives) to the frustrating performance against Florida, where he was benched after completing only one of four passes and being sacked seven times, Phillips' faith in and relationship with Christ has remained constant.
