This study covered 2008 through 2009 and it showed some interesting things. It basically said returning starters are a bit over-rated. There is a minimum threshold though. If you don't have enough overall experience returning your team will get killed. It showed that a returning RB really didn't matter but QBs and WRs did. Interesting read.

I'd believe it.

Though viewing that website makes me have involuntary spasms ;)

Seriously though, cool results. He's going to need to do more seasons to figure if it's truly a trend or a one-off, though.

Bad news for Boise's BCS Title hopes.

How so? 21 returning starters can't possibly hurt you.
