Agreed. Coaches play guys they trust & what they see in practice & games. There’s a reason why 9 is on the field more than younger guys. Maybe it changes as the season goes on, but assume coaches have more intel than those of us in the stands or in front of our TVs.I doubt Mario & Heatherman will ignore whatever it is they see on game tape. The handwringing about who should play more by the message board coaches seems silly.
Stanford threw the sink in terms of play calling that negated defensive aggression. It’s not like Warren was standing back there all day and picking apart the defense. Miami gave up like two or three chunk running plays.
