Why do UGA fans of all people think this is on Dabo? We watched for years as Richt was loyal to older players vs more talented new players. Dabo went with the better QB and Bryant got pissed.

Lots of college coaches, most I'd say, understand the wisdom of playing upperclassmen ahead of freshmen. Freshmen, even the most talented ones, make more mistakes and that cancels out some of the talent advantage. And just as importantly, sitting established veterans in favor of hotshot newcomers runs the risk of creating bad team chemistry, and sometimes hurts depth when the bypassed players leave. That's the head coach's job, to weigh those factors correctly.
