What Mike, you don't like seeing ateam run up a 73-10 win? I didn't watch the game so I don't know how bad they ran thes core up (Was it second and third teamers doing it? or were they chucking deep with the first team still?)
Probably just as insulting if the Louisville jsut ran the full ack three placys and punted for th last 3 quarters too but nothing wrong about running a real simple ball control offense to keep the score way from a 63 point deficiet.

They were obviously running the score up.
Brohm had 375 yards passing and scored a TD on each of their first 8 drives.
The coaches should have some class.

| I remember being a student at Northwestern in 95.. WE had been the doormat of the bigten for 20-30 years probably (And had been the doormat for much of the previous 70 years too, lol) I remember we were beating Wisconsin or another team by a bunch and we had the ball deep in their territory with very little time to go. Our running back busted up the middle for a big gain and we were down at the 3 or 4 with under 2 minutes to play. This team we were playing had just buried us for years and I think there was quit the pressure to punch one in just to add insult to injury but Barnett called for the knee 3 plays in a row to end the game.. He showed some class than which he than blew up with his recruiting tactics here and than at Colorado.. Oh well, I wish more coaches would do that and maybe they would if the pollsters would start realyl punishing teams for schedualing teams that they can whop by 50 points.. No excuse for it really.

I can relate with you on the doormat returning the favor.
Bo Pelini was a big cry baby when we beat NU by 30 points a few years ago.... a my Husker friends said we ran it up, but the average defeat NU gave us for 25 years was an even greater spread!
funny how the mighty cry when knocked off the top!
I love it!

Snyder did run it up that day - but he did that every chance he got on everybody. The game was decided and we were playing 2nd and 34d stringers, but Snyder never pulled his starters. Yeah, we used to hang some huge numbers on you (and those days are coming again), but I'll guarantee you it wasn't our starters that scored the last couple of TDs.
In 1996? Arizona State's coach accused Osborn of running up the score after we hung something like 70 points on them. The "rest of the story" is that we scored 56 by halftime, our starters played only the first series in the third quarter, and we only scored 2 TDs in the entire second half - the last was our 3rd string QB throwing to a 4th string receiver.
I also remember Osborn playing the towel boy. We had a rash of injuries at QB and had nobody to run the scout team. The towel boy was a high school QB and volunteered to help. He ran the scout team for a couple of weeks and T. O. put him in a game as a reward - even let him throw a pass. Some idiots got on T. O. for "rubbing it in" by playing the guy.
