A Prime Example

Of what can happen when starting players are left in the game after the outcome has been determined.

I understand that this is not the same thing that occurred Friday night in Duncan, but there is a lesson that needs to be learned about such behaviors. Things can happen on a football field, and if there is a way to prevent them from happening and still come out on top, then that way is the proper way.

I don't have a dog in the fight. But it seems (regardless of what they say publicly) both coaches are guilty of acting like entitled juveniles. Neither calling a timeout to throw a meaningless touchdown nor refusing to shake hands after the game is in the best interest of these kids. Regardless of what anyone else did, these coaches are responsible to every single kid that suits up to play HS football in South Carolina; not their fans, not the boosters, not the media, and not just the kids on their sideline... Every. Single. Kid. On. That. Field.
It was despicable behavior and both these coaches should apologize to the kids on both sides.

I'm assuming this is the link you were posting Penguin.
If it is, I completely disagree on Aaron Murray needing to be out of the game in the 1st half of a 3 score game.
Way too early. This is just an unfortunate thing that happened. Not a poor coaching decision.
The only lesson learned from this particular incident is that if you play football, you might get hurt.

Consider 1) The opponent, 2) the position of the ball on the field, and 3) the fact that he was already hurt.
Kentucky never got to 21, even after 4 quarters in a blowout game. This game was over at 28-7.
