To "this is nuts", be careful making such broad statments when you don't know the truth, or at least the whole truth. The coaches at NFCS put the JV players on the field in the 4th quarter in just about every game (including the state title game) to give them some REAL experience. And I am not just talking about a down or two but rather 5 minutes or more of the 4th quarter. I speak as a parent who has witnessed the younger players on the field while senior starters watched and encouraged them. I know for a FACT that DID NOT happen when my son was a freshman or sophmore...
