Under those conditions USF 12 games times 11 starters = 132 total starts on offense and defense .

Returning on Defense 90 starts so 68%
Returning on offense 69 starts so 52%

That could be a way to count anyone who started a game...but many times during the season, back-ups have to start because of injuries (or off-the-field problems) so I could see how Steele didn't count them as full-time starters coming back.

So what's a full starter? 6 games? As the ECU fan said earlier do you not count a starter from year before that might have been injured last year?

I'm fine with having plenty of kids that have started or played because that experience can't be beat.

No clue...its not my list...its Phil Steele's list.

If you want him to answer that question, probably best to contact him and ask.
