Runninng-up the score

[EverythingOrange]

For anyone who has issues with “running-up” the score: I loved Fulmer - And he won A LOT of games. But, He always seemed to get content with a 10-17 point lead, and then just run the clock for the rest of the game.

WAY too many games - I ended up sitting on the edge of my seat, as other teams made it extremely close at the end…….

Of course, with a couple of our other coaches - We weren’t even capable of running-up the score…….

3rd stringers wanted a TD or 2.

However the polls don't like that type of mindset. They begin to think there is something wrong...jmo

I remember Fulmer trying to take "time off the clock and some air off the ball" at the SEC Championship game against Saban and LSU in 2001, program never really recovered from that disaster,

Let every player make a play, light every bulb in the scoreboard if necessary

love it



People have done it to us a lot over the last 15 yrs. F their feelings.

After watching all their players’ cheap shots throughout the game, I was hoping we’d hang 100 on them. I’ve never seen so much trash talk from a team getting their asses kicked.

There’s only one game I hope we run it up with no mercy

LSU

 

[VolFreakJosh]

With the way Akron acted, I would have been looking to score until the clock hit zero.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

He ran up the score on purpose. Those boys were punk b*****s.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

3rd stringers wanted a TD or 2.

And they got them.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

I’ve never understood that mentality. I want to see every player down to walk-ons get the same opportunity to score.

With all the problems we've had over the last 15 years, Running up the score is the last thing I'm going to complain about.

Have to cover the spread

Ikr, I didn’t feel sorry for them

LSU

Florida, bama, Georgia, Kentucky. I'd love to score 100 on them all

 

[dduncan4163]

As dirty as the zips were playing we would have be justified putting 80 on them.

Post of the day Hoss. What You Said

Tennessee was playing the 2nd and 3rd string for all but one series in the second half. It's not the coach's fault Akron couldn't stop them. The backups need reps running the offense/defense. I'm not gonna get mad at them for doing it well.

I'm sorry man if I can score 70 I am. No one will ever feel sorry for Tennessee why should we feel sorry for anyone else.

 

[agent|orange]

What I do mind in college football:

"Shoe string tackles" where the defender literally wrenches the ballcarriers foot/leg in such a way as to cause an injury. Akron was doing this against us.

Unnecessarily low tackles and chop-blocks.

Florida being good because #()&*@! them.



What I don't mind in college football:

LSU Golden Girls

Running up the score with your 2nd and 3rd Stringers. They go in and run the offense. That includes passes because that's the point.

Agree 100%

Completely agree. Score every possession just to establish the habit.

Agree 100%

It's not in CJH DNA to sand bag like Butch Jones. I hope we can all appreciate that part of his coaching.

I have no problem with it if it's the backups running it up. They bust it in practice and deserve to make some plays. If the 1st team is still in late in the 3rd up 40 that's different.

I remember back in the '90's, coaches and fan bases accused Spurrier of running up the score on some teams. His response was simple and to the point. It's the responsibility of the defense to stop them.

Besides, Akron's QB purposely came to the UT sidelines on multiple occasions, talking smack to Heupel during the Akron drives.
