Disagree, they got 1st down, then busted off a TD run. Why not "sit on it" to "run out the clock" after getting the 1st down? Plain and simple, running it up. I lost a little respect for the Belfry staff tonight. But as I've said on numerous occaisions leading up to this game, simply a better team won. It would not have affected the game one bit, which is why it bothers me.

Can't buy this man....it's quite a bit of a stretch.

If Belfry wanted to "run it up" they would have left their starters, or even their 2nd string, in the game. The bench was cleared... they weren't passing...they weren't running trick plays... they were running the football behind a mostly Freshman line.

Playing reserves are a vital part of Belfry's program and their success. When you dress a 70-80 man roster there are VERY limited chances to get your young guys snaps in a game setting. What purpose does it serve to tell them to take a knee? Instead you shrink your playbook to about 3 plays and tell them to run it and hang on to the ball.

There are far easier ways to pad stats and run up the score then hoping your #10 or #11 rushing threat goes beast mode. For Heaven's sake..Belfry was subbing with 10 minutes left in the 3rd.
