OK - you have 5 games left in the regular season and 1 potential bowl game ... so 6 total games left.
How do you tell Jaimes for example ... Benhart is going to start over you for Indiana and Purdue but not against Wisconsin and Iowa?
And that is for guys who haven't been used in any games whatsoever.
If we use freshmen against Indiana I think you have to do so with the intention of burning their redshirts. If you wait to do this after Purdue but before Wisconsin then you might have a legit argument to use/start freshmen over the incumbents.
Lastly - it is more important to me that in most cases the redshirt be preserved than it would be to find some playing time for them between now and the end of the season.
