16. LOL

My short 15 minutes of fame.

[rep the dems]

5. I have to say, Saban seems like a dick.

Running up the score with under a minute to go and not even shedding the slightest glimpse of a smile when he got the obligatory gatorade bath when the game was locked up. Not a very likeable guy IMO.

6. he didn't run up the score

he just called basic running plays. At that point, we had the Texas defense broken on the ground.

Running up the score would have involved calling timeouts and throwing passes into the end zone. We were just trying to run out the clock.

[rep the dems]

7. 45 seconds left is when you take a knee.

There was absolutely no need for that last TD and Saban knew it.

[lazarus]

8. eh

I still say they were just running out the clock.

We could have run up the score on Florida and didn't. Why would we do it now?

[rep the dems]

9. Running out the clock by scoring a TD, stopping the clock to kick a PAT

and kicking off to Texas so they could continue trying to score? Sorry, but that's bullshit.

[lazarus]

10. PAT is automatic

If we had gone for two, that would have been running up the score. And kicking off is sort of mandatory. You know, like a rule of the game.

[rep the dems]

11. Well except that he then missed the PAT. But that's not the point.

The point is that you can hardly call it "running out the clock" when you go and do something that keeps the game going even longer when the victory is already sealed (like how scoring a TD requires you to then kick a point after and then kick off to the other team). That's called running up the score, and Saban deserves to be called out for it.

[lazarus]

12. no timeouts were called

we just ran the ball. It's not Saban's fault Texas' vaunted rush defense was exposed as a myth.

[rep the dems]

13. They ran it when it was absolutely and entirely unnecessary.

And when they were only a few yards out of the end zone and knew it wouldn't take much to get a TD. Be proud of your team, celebrate the win, but don't pretend that they were simply running out the clock when they could have done so much quicker by taking a knee or two.

[lazarus]

14. okay

I've already deleted the game (DVR is full), so I can't go back and check the times.

[trumad]

15. Little sour grapes there my friend.

[rep the dems]

17. Says the Canes fan. nt
