IMO we are way too nice.

Then yea! That’s total BS. Just a coach saving face. Even though it’s more embarrassing to me to do that. Last game of the season, by all means, keep them in. They won’t get to play this game again for most. 4th game of the year that really don’t mean much, you’re just asking for trouble. What’s to gain? For the kids at least? They’re really just helping BC get varsity reps for their younger guys.

About the "we are too nice" comment. I've seen Chuck onside kick up 40 points early in the second qtr. It was never about running the score up and it was always about working on what his team needed to work on. If you're winning that easy you may wonder what else can they work on but that's Chuck's business and he is always working on what his team needs to be able to do in round 3, 4, and 5. Doesn't care if your feelings are hurt either. It's about making his team better, but.........you make a lot of enemies that way. I've never heard anyone say Boyle was too nice. I've been on opposite sidelines for many of those games and man the visceral hatred that came up when that stuff was happening was intense. But it literally had nothing to do with the other team. It was about his team and making them better.

About the reserves playing, I remember back when Nebraska was rolling everyone every year and early one season they talked bout having to replace 4 or 5 interior linemen and how the would hurt them and one of their coaches said that several of the second string from the previous year actually had gotten more reps than the starters that year because they were winning so easily. So in essence they never had inexperienced linemen. It's like they had 10 starters each year. That's how the good teams seem to reload instead of replace. The reserves get a lot of game snaps before they are starters.
