64% of their total team starts were by 5th or 6th-year guys this year.

14 of Washington's 22 starters were in their 5th or 6t year. ( AP article)
quote:

Also, their Offense only had 5 starting seniors. 3 OL were sophomores and 3 receivers were 3rd year guys.



3 of their primary OL were 5th-year guys that redshirted in 2019 ( Troy Fautanu, Nate Kalepo & Julius Buelow) and one other was a 4th-year guy that got there in 2020 ( Roger Rosengarten).

No Power 5 team in the nation had more 5th & 6th-year dudes than Washington this year.

TCU & Tennessee were among the teams with the most last year, and look how their seasons went compared to this year.

DeBoer isn't replicating that at Bama. Sorry.
