Pretty good article from The Athletic. Note: you can create a 7 day trial to read instead of paying for a subscription.

You were a five-star recruit. Every big-name college football coach in the country wooed you to sign with their team. You had played in a high school all-star game on national TV and took home “Alpha Dog” honors as the most impressive guy there because you were so dominant in the week of practices and the game.

And then you get to your first career SEC game. Your team is crushing the other squad. But you expected that. You’re with Alabama now.

Here’s what you didn’t expect. It’s 59-7, and the coaches still haven’t put you in the game.

You’re Eyabi Anoma, and at that moment when you looked up at the scoreboard that September night at Ole Miss, one cold realization came to mind: “We’re up by over 50, and man, I’m not trusted that much to go in?”

That can mess with your mind.
IMO: Unless your gonna Redshirt a player... Coaches dropped the ball, by not allowing their future starters to enter a run away game. Unless the coach thought there was a problem with the player.
Same answer... It's better to give the players some time on the field. Get em some
experience.
