Their freshman QB

Then let them leave.

Play the guys who will help you win!!

A few times this year, I'm watching the start of a huge 3rd down play thinking "where's Bramer, get it to him." Only to realize, he's not even on the field. :-(

Just like how Hansen was running all over BYU in the first half and then we start the 2nd half with Sama. And we go 3 and out.

But if we don't play lots of guys, they will get mad and portal! It so frustrating.

I be more worried about the good players transferring because they are standing on the sidelines in critical situations so the 2's and 3's can get some reps.

That's exactly what it looks like.

Sowell, Eskilsen and Brahmer should be on the field 85% of the time.

Hansen should be on the field 70% of the time.

Then let them leave.

I can't tell on TV but it seems like they sub just to sub and it gets disjointed.

Last year one or both of Noel or Higgins should have been somewhere every play if for no other reason than to be a threat and make a backer or safety have to make a choice.

Is there's some textbook theory/strategy/philosophy out there that says you should frequently rotate different personnel packages (for whatever reasons) that the staff is following?

It just looks to me like what you would see from a someone who is young and inexperienced...following the "textbook" method but not having the experience to adapt it or set it aside as needed.

BYU and CU don’t exactly jump off the page of top rush defense teams. BYU is #45 and CU is #132. And look at how many times the QB was running for his life, hit or taken down Saturday…against 3 or 4 rushers…no blitz most of the time.

I agree with you, but at least we are seeing progress.

No idea. Most teams I watch don't have the mass substitutions of their offensive skill players.
