Go back and tell me the last year that we redshirted everyone, or

Fact is we sign more than twenty every year because fourth and
fifth year players are becoming more and more scarce - due to all
of the various types of attrition you mentioned.
Veteran is a relative term.
I assert that there is no factual basis for the claim that we have
substantially fewer upperclassmen (or more underclassmen) than any
top-level football program in the country.
I will go further and say that this "50 to 55" underclassmen and
"this is a young team" excuse is used in lieu of "this is a lousy
team" or "this team has problems."
Do we really think that we have more underclassmen than Oklahoma?
Alabama? Auburn? Nebraska?
