That will pay even more dividends 3-4 years from now. Didn't realize it was that few who played. Now 15 extra practices to evaluate and develop those guys.

Hoping the Redshirt Offensive Linemen will be ready this coming year
I can't remember who it was, maybe Dantonio or someone years back who used the analogy that each true freshman you have to play big minutes will equal a loss. Idea being, the less young guys you have to play, more games you are likely to win. It makes sense in theory. A lot of those top teams when you look at depth charts you see a lit of "RS"Is it? I rather have had more players actively involved in playing, especially if they had half the talent of Rondale Moore. Then there would be the possibility of less bad surprises at the beginning of next season and possibly a better beginning record.
At worst it is competition.With next year's class talent level, there will be multiple freshman playing next year.

Because they’ll spend far more time with the depth/young guys during the bowl practices than they do during the regular season.I have a question about the alleged magic of "15 bowl practices" that is somehow supposed to appear . How does these practices matter so much more than practices during the season?
From what I understand, basically the first 9 or 10 of 15 on campus are used largely to give young guys reps. That is like 3 weeks of in-season practice. The last 5-6 are game prep for the Bowl like a normal game week.I have a question about the alleged magic of "15 bowl practices" that is somehow supposed to appear .

As important, Bowl teams get the 20 practices and teams like IU (not playing in a bowl . . . Again!) do not . . . The rich get richer!!From what I understand, basically the first 9 or 10 of 15 on campus are used largely to give young guys reps. That is like 3 weeks of in-season practice.

Coaches actively work to give younger players more reps during bowl prep. It's been that way for years.I have a question about the alleged magic of "15 bowl practices" that is somehow supposed to appear . How does these practices matter so much more than practices during the season?
Not big enough at LB, Def Line and Off Line it sounded like early in the year. Lots of talent/athleticism but they needed to get bigger. The guys we used o the line were still too small except NealIs it? I rather have had more players actively involved in playing, especially if they had half the talent of Rondale Moore.
