TC at #2

After starting the pre-season competing with four other QBs for a spot on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Timmy Chang has been named the top backup, behind returning starter Jason Maas.

Before the start of the Ticats' first regular practice of the season, Cat bench boss Charlie Taaffe offered a little clarity to his backfield situation.

While Taaffe had previously named Jason Maas as his starting QB in Calgary Saturday night, he said yesterday the University of Hawaii standout starts the season as the backup.

"Timmy Chang will be the number two. I think he has certainly had a good camp, an outstanding game in Winnipeg so he'll start the season as the backup," Taaffe said.

Looks like Timmy's hard work during the offseason is paying off. Great news.
