Excuses

I'm tired like many of you seeing the product that is being put on the field and I'm tired of the excuses used, "we are a young team" "we have 41 freshmen" I broke down the starters and this is what I find- On offense we have 4 seniors 4 juniors 3 soph and on defense we have 4 seniors 4 juniors 2 soph and 1 fresh. So on the entire team we start one freshman,I would wager a bet that 90% of the tems in Div 1 schools start at least one freshman And before all of you go ape and tell me that our back ups are all freshman lets examine this,but keep in mind that backups are just that and they play only if someone is hurt. Eidson is the backup on the offensive line and he is playing because Neal is hurt and he is a soph Johnson is the next back up and he is a RS freshman we have a RS freshman backup at Tightend and our backup RB is a junior and our backup WR is a senior. On defense we sub very little Adami"the iron man" plays without any break and we play three freshman in the other spot. On the Ends we use Glockzin a junior and Rogers a freshman and on the coners we use Ro a soph and in the safety we use Harper a soph. So does the "we are young " excuses really hold true when 16 of the 22 starers are upper classmen.Could it be somthing else
