Apparently Meaningless when everyone else runs it up. Did you complain about any other coaches running up the score?
I would not be surprised if locksley ran it up at Alabama. When they played mercer and citadel it wasn't a one score game. Alabama put up 60+ on ole miss.
Cignetti was livid on the sideline and that was after he onside kicked the ball meaning they were still playing. He can say that afterwards but we all saw his reaction.
Still fine with the call but Cignetti was as pissed as Locksley
Yikes ... I didn't even realize ... yeah, I see a pregame O/U of 50.5 at least in one spot ... that TD brought it to 51. I wonder if CJF's latest contract amendment gave him some gambling money ...
Should we give Maryland participation trophies ? Screw this Political Correctness crap. Be tough and stop our subs. It was most of their first string defense still playing.
Exactly. What if Drew gets injured? And Tyseer might be a good option at receiver in the playoffs. So quit being such wussies.
Running up the score is absolutely the right thing to do and I hope PSU does it every opportunity it gets.
Let’s talk about sportsmanship. To me, that means playing by the rules, shaking hands after, and being respectful in how you talk. It has nothing to do with points on the scoreboard. It’s a game, so score as many as possible.
But having said that, do you see how the players chatter at each other all game? They’re certainly not saying “good play” to their opponent and when the tv cameras catch what they say, it can make a grown man pucker. You see what’s going on around the rest of college football with the brawling and flag planting? There’s absolutely NO point restraining yourself on the scoreboard when there’s other things to focus on about “being a good sportsman”—quite the opposite when the committee is using stats like your scoring differential to make decisions about your seeding.
To me, being a good sportsman is everyone playing until the clock hits 00:00 like they should as paid entertainers.
If you recall OSU with time running out against Indiana, up 18 scored with first team QB sneaking in and then doing a big celebration. At least PSU was using backups, give them a chance to play, the WR who caught the pass and scored may never see the end zone again, we hope he is the future but you just don't know.
Lots of whataboutisms going on in this thread. That final TD was totally unnecessary.
Ok, you made your point now isn’t it time to let it go? It happened, nothing can be done about it now.
The only thing wrong with that td was they didn’t go for two after it
I remember the game in Ohio. OSU was up 56-13. Very late in the game.iirc, PSU got a fist down. OSU threw the challenge flag and the first down was overturned. They then scored anotherTD. Just to match our score in 93!!!! The guys behind me started smacking me on the back shouting now we're even! We're not even! What do you mean , it's the same score. My response. You still have to go undefeated and get voted out of the National championship!!!!!!!
You don't see a difference, but maybe one person on the playoff committee does. And that's all that matters.
If Locksley had his 1st unit in, and they were running blitz packages, then let your second squad play as they would in a game. Running that play with 4 secs is a bit much, but the score counts in the playoff Era. Just play our game against the Ducks.
It made a difference to guys who bust their arses in practice every week, but rarely play.
