Running up the score

[CanesGotSWAG!]

We have sat through multiple ****ty seasons in a row. Coach owes it to the fans to run it up, IMO.

Is this real life?

77 Points is not running up the score? Besides UF, we won the other 3 games by an average of 42 Points and without UF and SS, we won by an average of 28 Points.

Is this really your concern?

We should be averaging 50 something point wins in these games. Dogs called off way too soon.

I have no problem playing backups when you're up 35-7. But, they should be going 100% every snap, and running our offense and defense. Otherwise, what value is it to the backups? It should not be up to us to hold down the score. That's the other team's responsibility. I'm not in favor of RUTS just to RUTS. But, I am in favor of playing the game until the final gun.

This is just flat out incorrect. The first 3 quarters Miami punted the ball once. So let's go to the 4th quarter. First series for Crow on second down he throws a pass that is deflected and on third down he throws another pass deflected and intercepted for a score. On the second series Miami runs three straight plays. On the third series Williams is back in the game. First play pass to Sandland. Williams gets sacked on the drive for the first time of the day. Williams throws deep on 3rd down to Jones and it's incomplete. On the fourth series Williams throws deep on 3rd down and throws an awful pass for an interception. Miami shut it down for one series. A lot of second and third stringers on the offensive side of the field in the fourth quarter. The kids need to play.

Which part was incorrect? I was speaking in general terms about the difference between running up the score, and having your backups run our offense/defense. That was addressed to those who think we should RUTS for the sake of RUTS. Nowhere did I say we didn't run the offense. I don't understand your reaction to my post.
