How would this make any sense other than Saban knowing the freshmen were better all along?
Or maybe they weren't better all along, but gradually got better throughout the year and were ready when they were called upon.
I'm trying to remember, but it seems like Leatherwood was on the field because of an injury. The freshman wide receivers were already established and part of the rotation. The only real freshman-substitution decisions of note were Tua (obviously) and Najee ... and I think Najee may have been part of the standard RB rotation at that point.

Good point. They weren't better until the exact second that Saban decided to put them in the game, because in the first half, they were off-camera, developing on the sideline, and by halftime they reached the level of development where they were the better option.
