Complex Offense

you completely missed my point. the excuse for not playing talented freshmen in the past has been the complex nature of our playbook.

year in and year out since cally has been here, except recently, which is a nice trend, freshman get very little playing time, compared to a lot of other programs out there.

why the hell would we leave a talented freshman on the bench and let a guy with marginal skills, who knew the system, get all the reps? how many times have we heard the rant, "i want the most talented kid on the field"? my point is, with cally's system, this will not happen as often as it might in someone else's system, which is not as complex, period.

the reason USC is so successful is the nature of their program which allows freshmen to play more often, thus they get some of the absolute best players, knowing they will have a great chance to start as a freshmen and Pete Carroll recruits with that message in hand.

there is nothing inherently wrong with callys system, it just doesn't give a lot of the young kids coming in a chance to get involved early, that's all. just the way it works here, which i think is highly overrated.

1.Nunn has been a four year starter.......Lucky, Glenn, Potter, Holt, Slauson all played a role as freshmen among others.

2.Like I asked before, who is this dynamite frosh you are refering to that has been buried in his playbook on the bench?

3.This is a chicken or the egg scenario, when BC has gotten highly ranked kids to commit they do play early. As we win more, more kids that have the ability to play early will want to come, its a self feeding fire.

4.Check the roster, its full of kids that have not red shirted..........because they played.
