running the ball nursing a 6 point lead is not running up the score...the following examples would be...

1.sam wyche calling for an onside kick inside 2 minutes when his bengals were up 54-7 over the oilers....for the sole purpose of insulting jerry glanville

2.the eagles were up by 30+ on the cowboys with less than a minute left...buddy ryan calls a timeout for the purpose of adding another td to the lead and rubbing salt in the wounds of jimmy johnson and the 1-15 cowboys...

running the ball to end a game is not running up the score.... stop the run its not that bad because the team isnt throwing the ball up big like the Pats did against the Skins last year... Running the ball is essentially like running the clock as it is

about six years ago this happened to me! I had Nevada +12 vs UNLV and it was a 9 point game for UNLV. I had this cover won and Nevada was trying to score with no timeouts left. They threw an INT with 30 seconds left, but i was relieved that the player got tackled 8 yards short of the goal line. SWEET, KNEEL DOWN AND I WIN! No, they ran a play and scored a TD and UNLV covers the spread. it was Las Vegas teams too, which was funny. part of the game.

USC is garbage, no points in the first two Q's screw the people out of an Over +26 at HT. Arrrhg!

The point of the game is to score and to stop the other team from scoring.If one team is unable to stop another why should the dominate team feel the need to pull off? The other team is still lining up across from them and i feel it would be more disrespectful to the other team to not give 100%. Especially in college ball when everyteam is looking to make an impression through yardage and points in order to move up the laddder is is extremely understandable why a score would be run up!
