It depends on the depth chart, it also depends on the position and on the individual players. Looking at running backs this year, we are loaded, with Heard/Ameer penciled in as starters and Cross the short yardage specialist. Does that mean we automatically red-shirt both Taylor and Newby? Maybe, Newby could be in a position to contribute in different ways though, he may be able to start on special teams. Wide receiver position, again we seem to be loaded with Enunwa, Bell, and Turner; Allen (assuming he is healthy, and not moved to DB) and Weller-whatever-the-hell-his-name-is if we go 4-5 wide. Again though, if Walker, Gladney can contribute to special teams or in specific roles it may be a good idea to get them experience. Then you look at TE, we have a bunch of walk-ons and I think one or two scholarship players there could be room for a true freshman to start. Greg Hart is a big wide receiver moving to TE, he has decent hands and speed so maybe get him some reps as a true freshmen, in certain formations and roles to get him game experience.
I think that Bo is learning that he needs to get some of the younger guys more game experience. And he might have to scale back some of the things they are responsible for. Being a TE and WR means you have to know routes, but maybe they can be involved in specific packages that would limit what they need to know so they can contribute right away.
