it is not playing freshmen. Meyer is playing a lot because his talent level is that of a 5 star freshman at Alabama and Clemson. You guys forget that every year we have redshirt freshman and sophomores playing a lot and the same question was asked about they and their playing time as true freshmen. Kyren Williams simply wasn't ready last year until he took the steps necessary to get there. I cannot believe you guys, though well intended, do not see this. It is remarkable the success Kelly has had with diamonds in the rough, who though not dominating players in the pros like so many that Alabama or Clemson have at difference making positions, end up having pro careers even if only solid to marginal that last a decent amount of time. Those players may or may not have been capable of winning a national championship but at least they showed up because of solid, developmental coaching.
