14 of your 22 starters are seniors

13. Really significantly less if you look at our actual starters and snap counts instead of looking at a worthless depth chart that has always been known to tip it's hat to seniors.

19 of the 22 are upperclassmen.

There will be just as many upperclassmen next year. That's what happens when you are a 5 year redshirting program that plays 60+ guys every week that doesn't see any significant or bad attrition across the board.

Both numbers lead the SEC and are in the top 10 nationally.

Same will be true next year.

Correct it for me.

Seniors account for over 60% of MSU's total player snaps this year. That is INSANE. Only one other SEC team has over 50%. Not only does MSU start an unusually high number of seniors, but they play a lot.

MSU has played 60+ players in a game twice this year, both OOC scrub matchups.

Irrelevant to this discussion, although its technically incorrect. You wont have quite as many upperclassmen starters next year, and three of your juniors are likely to declare.

NFL draft prospects and potential. MSU currently has less than half the number of projected draft picks amongst their sophomores, juniors and seniors as Bama. They rank above only Arkansas and A&M right now in that category in the west.
