a) Wear and Tear is really important and b) Player development is happening
In the David case, the coaches probably also saw that Davis can do amazing things with the ball... and that he makes mistakes in the other tasks of a RB. Brooks, being a grad transfer, probably is/was better at all the other things.

BUT, with wear and tear, the other RBs drop off a bit, and Davis learns more of the things he has to do, and eventually that decision switches.

I think the same is probably true in the Defense as well.

We talk about "Fresh Legs" in the 4th quarter of the game ... I think there also a "fresh legs" element of 4 games into the year as well.
