Plus these IN game moments Coman, Evans, Cleavland etc etc are getting will better prepare them for success next year when they MUST play! Plus as someone said earlier we can sell recruits that they can play meaningful snaps as a true freshman.
I completely agree that it helps with keeping fresh legs and helps against injuries, but some personnel are killing us this year. Evans covers like a LB (he probably covers worse because M. Wells covers like a DB). We just always seem to get exposed down the middle of the field when Evans and Coman are in the game. I just wish there wasn't such a drop between Cox and Evans.
