What was the reason for Russel Gage getting so many snaps?

I wondered the same thing, but it appeared that when we lined up in what I call Trey (two WRs and a TE on the same side) Ferguson and Gage were the receivers. I didn't go back and examine it, but maybe it was a packaging thing to get more WRs involved.

Watching from the stadium, it was maddening when watching when Ferguson and Gage was in the game. Runs almost every time. I'm not sure if you could see it on tv, but Mizzou was loading the box and Ferguson was being guarded man and with no one over the top all night. There was such a huge advantage there last night and they didn't give it a shot once.

(Please don't take that post me complaining. It was something I noticed that I wonder if the coaches did)

Part of it could be as a reward for his special teams play. He is a beast on kick offs. I like to do a slo-mo to see who is making plays.

I noticed him on running plays and blocked well downfield.

Not every WR needs to be 6-3. I like the 5-10/11 guys with quickness. Thought Dillon could be that guy. Obvious someone wanted to play gage and was overruled in the past

A whole lot of players played big minutes that never have before. Even before it was a blowout.

I'm sure that is a tactic to unite the locker room and generate team energy. I loved it.

Cam and Les were jealous Gage went to an amazing school like Redemptorist and kept him on the bench because of it.

Not true they went long to Gage one time for sure

Maybe he can run routes unlike the others?
