Experience. Every coach wants as much of it on his football team as he can get. And while it probably helps, it’s no guarantee that a school will win. Experience is also probably more important at some positions than others. Georgia’s recent history of outstanding freshman running backs is some evidence of this. The fact that a senior quarterback hasn’t led his team to a national championship since Matt Flynn did it (albeit as a first year starter) in 2007 is more. But all things considered, you’re probably better off with guys who’ve been in the week-to-week battles before checking in all across the lineup.
