re: Running up the score is classless.

nobody in this thread bashing the game played football past 5th grade most likely

those were our backups running base offense , there was over a quarter left, when the time came to take a knee we took a knee.

now you BEND the knee fricker

Definitely a liberal, only a liberal would cry and use this type of verbiage.

Maybe you guys need to learn defense and to tackle the backups better. Also, in the 4th quarter you guys should have just ran the ball instead of throwing. I would assume that have you done that UGA would have followed the concession.

It was TCU DC job to keep Georgia from scoring not Kirby's.

I agreed that hall should’ve run the score up on them. Were you attempting to respond to someone else?

AGREE !!!

I'm firmly against running up the score to embarrass an opponent. But at the same time, if you're putting in back ups, even walk on's and practice squad players? Let them play. And let them excel. You can't tell them to dial it down.

And if the opponents can't stop back-ups, that's on them. Never tell a kid who has been busting his arse all year to get a chance in a game, to play badly so the other team feel better about themselves, IMO. Play hard and let the chips fall.

But going for 2, onside kicks, etc. That's running it up to embarrass.

If UGA had left their starting QB in the whole game and lobbed bombs into the end zone with under 2 minutes to play, then yeah that is running up the score.

But they didn't. They emptied the bench and the UGA second and third string were better than TCU. You can't put kids out on the field and then tell them not to play hard.

UGA could have scored again if they had wanted to and instead kneeled out the clock.

UGA scored with about 90 seconds left in the first half to go up 31-7. 24 points is a mountain but has happened before. TCU, to their credit, was aggressive with their next possession and messed around and threw an INT that lead to another UGA TD just before the end of the half to send UGA up by 31...and TCU actually took the last kickoff before the half and tried to run the ball a couple of times instead of getting into the locker room to regroup. Probably a moot point by then down by 31 but they did it. They then came out in the 3rd and tried to score and went for it on 4th down at midfield or on their side of the 50 at least twice in the second half leading to more UGA points. Bennett took one snap in the 4th and UGAs second and worse stringers took it to TCU who had basically given up on the field and wasnt even trying any longer...had TCU ran the ball between the tackles from the start of the third the score would have probably been around 45 or so to 14 instead of the debacle it was....but to TCUs credit they tried to score and it cost them dearly...
