5 things we learned from thrilling Michigan football win over USC

The coaching staff is getting too cute with rotations

Players can't play the entire game and the Michigan football staff is right to sub players in and out, but please, stop subbing out Stewart and Derrick Moore for an entire series.

TJ Guy is a solid third pass rusher. He had a nice pressure on Saturday. It makes sense to mix him in, but why not play Guy along with Stewart or Moore? The same can be said with Cameron Brandt.

Or, let the backup have a couple of snaps and get Stewart back in on third down. It drives me crazy and I'm sure Miller Moss was relieved any time he saw Stewart on the sideline.

It's one thing if the game is in hand, but that stuff can't continue. It's nonsensical. Stewart should be on the field for every single third down. This was the 11th-ranked team in the country after all.

Michigan made life harder on itself by not playing Stewart in key situations and also doing the same with Mullings, who was the best offensive player in the game for U-M.

You just don't expect to see long stretches with the best players on the sideline.
