re: Running up the score is classless.

TCUs coach is being paid millions to coach his team. His job is to prepare his team to prevent other teams from scoring. He failed miserably. What was UGA suppose to do? The subs were put in and conservative running plays were being run.

As it was pointed out before the game, from a talent point of view, this was the biggest gap between two teams facing off in the championship game. Most folks on here were predicting a handy UGA victory, but nothing like this. I'm sure that the TCU coaches had come up with a plan that they thought would keep them in the game. But at some point, it's not about the X's and O's, it's about the Jimmy's and Joe's. It's not an excuse, but it does factor into the final outcome.

The issue that I have is With roughly 6 mins left in the 3rd, up 38 points, Kirby still had the starters in and was taking 20-30-40 yard shots down the field. By then, the point had already been made made, UGA was the better team. You didn't have to rub their face in it. But Kirby decided to.

At that point in the game, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th string should have already been in the game. UGA should have never snapped the ball with more that 3 seconds on the play clock and should have never thrown a pass more than 5 yards how the field (if they passed at all). It still accomplishes everything everyone on here has stated is important to them and the team.

Maybe I've got my point of view because I live outside of the footprint of the SEC. Maybe not. What I do know is what Kirby did last night doesn't make UGA look like a championship team and coach. It makes them look like a bunch of bullies.
