I noticed three players are rotating at 2 guard spots.

Justin Smiley
Donald Thomas
Nate Garner

I believe I read somewhere that we're rotating all three to keep fresh. Judging from the way we passed so much and the corresponding playing time of Smiley and Garner over Thomas maybe the coaches feel that if we are going to pass alot Garner should be in there with Smiley. Thomas will play more if we focus on the run?

This is just pure speculation on my part but Donald Thomas didn't look hurt.

Anyone know the true story here?
 
There was an interview with Coach in one of the papers and he said Thomas is still basically a rookie and is having a lot thrown at him and they want him to have time on the sidelines to think about it all.
