It is true that some varsity starters played (sophomores). I heard that the starting Qb will be back this week. Probably why the freshman played. BE is still decimated with injuries. Probably the best two RBs on team have been out most of the year, both are only sophomores. These injuries are going to play a big part. BE doesn`t seem to have a great deal of speed to begin with, but most of the speed they do have is hurt.
