Agreed. That doesn't change the fact that he still played about the same amount as Harvin.
How did you come to this conclusion? As previoulsy posted. Harvin missed all or part of SIX games b/c of injury yet still have 75 touches to Shep's 50.

So....to sum up....because RS didn't get as many touches as Harvin and Scott didn't play in the Auburn game 4 years ago....Miles only plays upperclassmen no matter how talented the freshmen are....even though Miles has played and started many freshmen since he's been here.

Because just looking at total touches is a naive way of looking at it.

Harvin missed one game due to injury, not six.

Florida played in an extra game that year because of the SEC championship. In addition, Florida ran 875 plays on offense in 2006. In 2009, LSU ran 771 plays on offense.

Harvin had 70 total touches. 70/875 = 8%

Shepard had 50 total touches. 50/771 = 6.5%

Therefore, Harvin constituted 8% of Florida's 2006 offense, while Shepard constituted 6.5% of LSU's 2009 offense.

The difference is not all that great.
