The information that i have is that they and others are not 100%. 
I dont know specifically what is wrong with them. 
For me it comes down to risk vs reward.  
The starters have been grinding since Spring ball. 6 to 7 months non stop. By all accounts fall practice was very physical. The starters got most of the reps. 
We have played 4 physical tough games and lost some very important players. 
We are paper thin at key positions. 
We can beat Wagner with our third string.
We need to give our 
Second and third team guys live game reps.

With that as background my personal thought is that there is almost nothing to gain by playing anyone who isnt 100%. In addition i wouldn’t play any starter more than 1 period as the risk of losing a key player in a game that you dont need them in order to win has zero value.

The only value that i see in this game is giving our second and thirds game reps. 
Lets see what they can do. How is the frosh on fgs? Carlos, hatcher, the second OL. How does Barth do at DL? The RB from New Mexico. 
The TE from NY. CJ And the rest of the wr group.

Thats the value. Not padding Tuckers stats against Wagner. Not risking losing another starter. 
Risk Reward.
