Every team getting skull drug in a game leaves their starters in. I’ve never seen one sub. They are trying to score to have something good to talk about with the team. I actually have no problem with that at all. The time out calling is annoying but I get it. Bottom line is when you have a sh!t team you are grasping at straws to find something that keeps morale up If you change the word "Every" to "Most", I can agree. That’s fair. Point is it’s not uncommon |

We were up 42-6 to start the 4th quarter last week. Running clock. We emptied the bench. Defense gave up a TD, they recovered a pooch and scored on the JV defense again, we recovered the next pooch with a little over 7 minutes left and let our backups run out the clock. It was a running clock, not very hard to run it out with 7 minutes left.
Once you empty the bench, it stays emptied IMO unless the game all of a sudden becomes in peril.

The opposing coach was a dipchit; leaving his starters in against your bench was bush league. With that being said, I would've left the bench in the game for a few reasons. One, it sends kind of a bad message to pull those younger kids when they've been playing pretty well for most of the game. Secondly, those younger kids need to be placed in those high pressure situations. Think about how cool it would've been for the whole team if those younger kids stopped 'em on the goal line. Finally, I wouldn't have risked injury when the game was in hand. We were up on a team 63-0 at half in a high school game. We emptied the bench, left them in all game and ended up winning 70-28. The opposing team left their starters in most of the game. I was on the local radio show the following Monday morning and one of the broadcasters stated "Well, they gave you guys a run for your money in the second half." My response: "Nope, our freshman and sophomore got some quality experience in the second half." Every team getting skull drug in a game leaves their starters in. I’ve never seen one sub. They are trying to score to have something good to talk about with the team. I actually have no problem with that at all. The time out calling is annoying but I get it. Bottom line is when you have a sh!t team you are grasping at straws to find something that keeps morale up The flaw in that thinking is: What if your 1st team still sucks against our JVs? |

The only time in 23 games in 2012-13 my TB didn't run for 100+yds was against a team so bad our JV beat them 19-6 in the 2nd half.
Our first score of the game was a TD by our DE. Their punter missed the ball on the kick and our DE picked it up and ran it in. We won 61-6 and IIRC, 5 of our TDs we special teams or defensive scores.
We drove 2 1/2 hours for that crap too as they were a replacement for a team on our schedule that ceased to exist the spring before the season.
