Greenup County already had their 2nd and 3rd team defenses playing in the game on that side of the ball. When they got the ball with a minute and a half left in the game, that's the short period they kept him in realizing he had a shot at the record. With all the long runs he had in the 2nd half, the possibility of setting the record came up i'm sure late and suddenly. This was a close game at the start of the 4th quarter (Greenup was up 1 point). It wasn't like they were up 20-25 going into the 4th and left their starters in the remainder of the game. He chose to go with his starters that last little bit. And remember, he was also giving the ball to Boggs who had a couple of 2nd half TD's and 70 yards, so it wasn't like it was all Byrd, all the time.
