Don't read too much into the depth chart that's listed for ND. Here's who has played most of the snaps:

QB: Jimmy Clausen (true frosh)
RB: Armando Allen (true frosh)
RB: James Aldridge (sophomore)
WR: Robby Parris (sophomore)
WR: Golden Tate (true frosh)
WR: George West (sophomore)
WR: Duval Kamara (true frosh)
LT: Sam Young (sophomore)
RG: Eric Olsen/Dan Wenger (sophomores)
LB: John Ryan (sophomore)
LB: Brian Smith (true frosh)
LB: Kerry Neal (true frosh)
LB: Toryan Smith (sophomore)
CB: Darrin Walls (sophomore)
K: Brandon Walker (true frosh)

And that excludes guys like soph. Will Yeatman, frosh Mike Ragone, soph. Raeshon McNeil, frosh Robert Hughes, and frosh Ian Williams who see snaps in each game and "start" in certain packages. Thats over 20 freshmen/sophomores seeing quite a bit of time. And most of those sophomores didn't see but garbage time last year.

Compare that to OSU who has but a few freshman (Saine, Chekwa, Heyward, Sanzenbacher) playing meaningul minutes and just three sophomores on the starting offense.

There really is no comparison.
