so... if you assume 70 plays a game average, and multiply by 12 games you get 840 plays per position, more or less, then UF played less than 1 freshman more than Uga or Bama.

So much for that "he's playing nuthin but freshmen" excuse.

I pointed something like this out after the UGly game as to how many of each class logged playing time in the game. It was almost even with Ugly playing like 2 or 3 more upperclassmen. The weekly excuse of young and learning just became tiresome b/c these days in college football, every team, every week is playing a lot of young guys. The youth argument holds zero water as the reason for total incompetence anymore.

Correct. For a team like our Gators this season, freshman had to play because there wasn't any talent or depth, period. For teams like UGLY, freshman played because they had some freshman studs. Zero correlation with one another and just shows the shallow depth of our talent skill.

Bama started 2 true freshman - safety and OT. Those 2 make up most of hammers snaps.
