I certainly won't ever 2nd guess Coach Saban about using our 1st String Players on ST's cause it's worked out really really well this year..But..I also see the argument from those against it, cause it would be bad if Henry was injured on a ST's play, it's just that chance you take playing at a Championship Level in college football these days..
I also think we have players every bit as athletic on our 2nd & 3rd string, as on our 1st string, they just lack the experience as the 1st String Players, playing our 2nd & 3rd String on ST's is a great way to get them game time experience along the way in a season..We have some mighty good players sitting on the bench, that won't get any game time experience in a season sitting on the bench, playing them on ST's is a great way to earn some PT & also get their feet wet on the college level..A lot of HC's in college football get their players experience & most of our 2nd & 3rd string Players would be starters at most any college football team because they're that good..
Like I said I actually love that Coach Saban wants our best Players playing in every facet of the game, cause that philosophy has served us well, the results we've had on ST's this year has been a welcomed improvement this season & has helped us on our NC Run this season..
