Absolutely NOT. "They ran the score up on us" is absolutely the weakest, softest, most pathetic statement that ANYBODY can give defending their team. I would take it as an insult if a team intentionally tried not to score against a team I was coaching. As a coach, if you keep your team from burying another team, you are taking away their killer instinct. In my opinion, and its the right one, as long as the time doesnt show a bunch of 0's, you should be trying to score, and you should be trying every way in the book to do it. If you are beating a hapless team by 80 points, its not your fault they cant stop you. Keep scoring. Call timeouts to stop the clock, fake punts, the whole 9 yards. I absolutely hate when coaches take their foot off the pedal. So no, 75 points isnt running up the score. There is no such thing. If you can dish it out, you need to learn to take it.

Its HS football. You wanna teach kids good sportsmanship and what your suggesting is none of that. If your JV and freshman put up points, then that can't be helped. Why take the risk of hurting a starter in a game that you have already won? thats STUPID. You take your "foot off the pedal" so that all of your players actually get a chance to play and your younger players get some experience. As far as im concerned this is one of the dumbest posts I have ever read on here. How would it have looked if a star player broke his leg and your up 60 points against a terrible ball team? Could ruin the rest of a teams season.
