I think they had 74 this year. You must have some serious talent problems when you have 74 players and start 3 or 4 freshmen. Why not cut some players? You are obviously not going to play 74 players in a game. I personally wouldn't want to bust my ass for 16 straight weeks and never play. Cut me and I'll go do something else. Why do you need the big numbers and never use them?

Sources I had spoken to during 2015 season and 2016 season said that Russell would be down for a couple of years. Senior classes in 2015 and 2016 were pretty good and carried the load. Younger groups coming up were going to be better but was going to take a couple of years. So far they are spot on.
