You should play more then 3.
For the reasons I listed above and perhaps for morale of those not in the top 3.

How hard is to have 1 or 2 other wr's who could take 5 snaps a game and lift the burden of those taking every snap.

Hartline has one NFL mindset. The starting receivers play every snap the starting QB plays unless they’re winded dinged up and soon as they are ready, they are back in. You’re right though College receivers aren’t here for 10 years so develop youngsters. Hartline has results on his resume.

Basically the issue seems to be Hartline rotated too little Zack Smith rotated too much and didn't have the teaching chops

Did Smith really rotate too much? Not questioning Hartline, but I wish he would’ve used Johnson, Ballard and 1-2 frosh to give MHjr and EE rest and to keep the defense guessing. This isn’t the NFL, it’s college, so the kids imo should’ve been rotated some. Not trying to question Hartline, but it seemed like so much talent just rode the line instead of getting snaps. You can’t tell me that we couldn’t have used Kyion Graves against Toledo for example

Not to mention that now the back ups (mostly freshman) start with no experience every year now.

Just rotate the 3rd spot if you have to but I agree I hate our rotation (lack there of) at WR.

Basically any game other than Iowa/Wisconsin/Penn State and Michigan you could rotate very freely.

I don't care how well conditioned they are, if they're balling out like they should every play, they're not as fresh as they could be and I don't understand why, assuming some +/- of performance level, that we're not constantly rotating fresh receivers in and out.
