Playing the same 12-14 kids both ways for most, if not all of the game has been a trend I've seen as well. Starting at the Frosh level on up. This years Frosh team played that number of kids almost every down. The other 22-25 kids played Special Teams and a few mop up minutes. You get Frosh championships but you don't get retention with that philosophy.

As I understand it there were a great number of kids on that team who had never played football (14) and thus the staff had to be concerned with there safety during games. As the season went on several of those kids were able to contribute. Many will be able to play next year because they learned the game. Thats what happens when kids wait until freshman year to play the game.
