Leave the starters in until we get a lead.....that's what most coaches do.  I can't make heads or tails of our player rotations.

A lot of teams rotate players in and out on the offensive and defensive lines.

It all depends on who has graded well to get game on the line minutes.  If there is not a second ready for prime time we have seen starters go the entire game.

All I know is when our defense was struggling we had starters sitting on the side line and the same goes for the offense.  Pitiful.  Poor coaching.

You may be right in terms of the short-term, but long term this is the way you build depth.

And when those young guys are seasoned vets we can rotate them out and start all over.

In all seriousness, you need more than 11 players to play today's game. Coaches are at practice everyday, they are paid to make these decisions, I have no problem with that.

Part of the reason you see more rotation is than you did a decade ago is that most teams have gone to some variation of up-tempo and/or no huddle offense. If you leave the starters in all the time, you may play better in the short run, but by the end of the game, they are worn down. Look at this game, and I think Ohio was the stronger team down the stretch. As a result, Ohio was able to overcome the halftime deficit, and was able to do a much better job stopping CMU in the second half. I was confident it was an Ohio win the whole second half...until the last turnover proved me wrong.
