So if our rivals lose we say they "suck" and if they crush their opponent by scoring over 70 they also "suck" - that's quality adult logic 
Poll: There is no such thing as running up the score
- Thread starter steventrelain
- Start date
Yes but there is such a thing as calling off the dogs.
If your starters are destroying the opponent by 50 and you keep your starters in late into the game, you (that coach) is a dbag and deserves all the criticism coming his way ….as well as the score run-up against his team in the future from Karma State.

the offense's job is to score points. the defense's job is to stop the offense. simple.
That doesn't change the fact that they still suck .So if our rivals lose we say they "suck" and if they crush their opponent by scoring over 70 they also "suck" - that's quality adult logic

It's not just the score, it's whether you have your reserves, sometimes deep reserves, in the game. As long as the reserves are in, play football. The reserves deserve to do more than take a knee. If college football doesn't like the huge scores, do what high schools do and call the game when somebody gets ahead by 50 points. Or schedule more competitive games.
There is leaving the starters in too long in a blowout and running trick plays when the game is out of reach which I would deem unsportsmanlike, but reserves should play the game as if it's 0-0 as long as they are just running their typical offense.
Problem is that margin of victory can matter.
Until every conf gets their champ in the playoffs there is no chance it stops.
How late into the game / what was the score when the clones took their starters out? I don't watch ISU outside of when they play Iowa (can't be the only one here), but I'm kinda intrigued now...
If you’re up big late and your backups are scoring then so be it, it’s on the D to stop them. If your up big and you’re starters are in then your a dumb coach.
48-20. Start of 4th quarter. Starting OL played the first series, then I’m pretty sure it was all reserves.
put your backups in after you have an insurmountable lead then let the backups run the normal offense. Seriously, how can the backup QB get any experience when all he does is hand off to the 3rd and 4th team HBs?

I mean......nobody is required to think any better of Wisconsin, Iowa State, Nebraska etc just because they score lots of points and/or win........come on now.So if our rivals lose we say they "suck" and if they crush their opponent by scoring over 70 they also "suck" - that's quality adult logic
Are we worried about Illinois running up the score on Nebraska or what?
If you do it with our backups...no apologies. If you leave the starters in up 49-7... you're a dick.
thank you, is it me or is the world complicating every simple issue in front of us ???
"Running up the score" = embarrassing your opponent.
If the 2nd and 3rd string is scoring points, I don't care what the score is. They get to play football too.
Back in the 70's, PU, our most hated rival, went for 2 after a TD when the score was 48-0, so they could get to 50. That was classless bullcrap.
Having your 2nd team score when the score is 100-0, I have no problem.
