IMO it has a lot to do with # of reps. Young team equals needing more reps in practice. Veteran team less reps needed. It's probably over simplifying things but as a former coach I worked young guys harder to get those reps in. Just a theory.

Just a pre-game reminder in case Rohach starts on why he probably isn't the better QB.
Cyclone Football @CycloneFB
Power 5 QBs with 1900+ passing/300+ rushing: Mariota (UO), Boykin (TCU), Hundley (UCLA), Williams (UNC), Prescott (MSU), Richardson (ISU).

Ha they just called iowa, iowa state in the iowa Minnesota game. We cant win for losing when it comes to these mess ups. Iowa gets blown out and they call them iowa state
Yeah, but a little salt on the wounds of the dozen Iowa fans still watching. It must have killed them to be called Iowa State. Biggest difference in the teams is their schedules.
Isn't this thread a bit early? We don't play Kansas until January....
Oh wait, it is still football season.
Move along, move along.

Regression to the mean. If we have a "lucky" streak with fewer than average injuries, then there will probably be a string of higher than average injury seasons somewhere down the road. But human brains like narrative, so they build plausible stories and turn correlations into causes even if it's not the right thing to do. If people want to blame S&C, they need to build a case against Yancy that is longer than two years.
