    Appy State running up the score

    Anyone else hear about this?

    Appy state was up 31-21 with only a couple seconds left in the game and instead of taking a knee they decided to throw a 33 yard touchdown pass with only 5 seconds remaining. Box Score. Pretty classy. I can understand if you're running it up the guy to run the clock out and you happen to break one loose, but come on Appy!! Guess they wanted to make a statement? I Heard SC state's coach wouldn't even look at Jerry Moore. Let's hope Richmond wins so we don't have to deal with those hootin' and hollerin' hillbillies again. Go Spiders!

    Re: Appy State running up the score

    It's the playoffs, since both teams are good enough to get there, running up the score shouldn't even be discussed. If it was Appy State vs. Indiana State in the regular season.... THEN it would be different... IMO...

      Re: Appy State running up the score

      I'm sick of this.....ASU didn't run it up on Wofford or SC State.

      If we were not in a playoff system, they would beat teams by even more.

      If you want to look at running up scores....look at the major BCS teams....they are the ones who run up the score and have to.

      Additionally, maybe Law should have fallen down on the last TD Run.....I guess that was running it up too...

        Re: Appy State running up the score

        It seems the South Caorlina coach wouldn't let the game end. He saw Jerry Moore coming across the field to shake his hand and the SC coach called time out! I read that Moore told them to run a play and Armanti Edwards made the call for the pass. The SC coach was pretty bush league in calling the timeouts when the game was essentially over. Yeah, Edwards could/should have taken a knee. But....

          App State DID run the score up on Wofford. But that was/is a bitter rivalry game and they were sending a message.

          App State did go deep on SC State late, but only AFTER the SC State coach called two timeouts, despite being down by two scores and not being able to get the ball back. ASU had actually been trying to run the clock out when the coach called the timeouts.

            If you read my post I say I can see if you're just running it up the gut and you happen to break it loose and score I can see that, but do they really need to sit back and toss a 33 yard bomb with 5 seconds to play?? No. It's not like they were just trying to pound it out on the ground and run the clock down. They threw up a 33 yard pass! They had the game won, they just didn't want the ESPN bottom line to show they only won by ten because they have huge egos.

              Hello? Did you see the game? The last second TD was completely SCSU's fault.

              ASU had just gotten a first down, the clock was at about 30 seconds and when the play clock started and the game clock started Jerry Moore proceeded to cross the field to shake hands. Status quo. The SCSU coach never left his area and when Jerry got between the hashes he called time out with 15 seconds left. The next play, Appy took a knee, SCSU called another time out. I can see they were very upset. At this point in time ARMANTI EDWARDS as stated publicly by himself and "no commented" on by Jerry Moore, called the play in the huddle. I thought that this was AWESOME! What the heck, the game was over, it was a two possession game, it was over, coaches were going to shake hands and they called time out. THE GAME WAS OVER AND SCSU extended it. Anything that happens after that they deserved.

                They did run it up against Wofford though, left the starters in far too long.

                  Re: Appy State running up the score

                  Taking a knee on 4th down?
                  that doesn't run any time off the clock.

                  ASU got the ball with about 2:20 left. They proceeded to run the ball on their next plays to keep the clock running. After a second down running play, the game clock was under 20, so there didn't have to be another snap. But SCSU called a time out with 18 ticks left. So ASU runs another running play on third down. SCSU calls another time out with 12 seconds left. ASU decides to pass on 4th down.

                  I hate Appy, but I can't blame them in this situation. Besides, they were only up by 10 at the time, so I don't consider that to be "running up the score" in any case.

                    To answer your first question, no, just playing a little devil's advocate (not the pinball game). I still say you have to be the bigger man/team. Just run around for 5 seconds, shake hands and get ready for Richmond. I don't really care who called the play. Both acts seem disrespectful, what it comes down to though is who is big enough to not retaliate and just end the game in a respectful manner. Don't possibly put a target on your back (not that Appy needs any help getting a target on their back). Sportsmanship should happen before, during and after the game (Joe Pa voice).

                      I hate this crap.

                      Florida could have scored a FG and held The Citadel to 0 if they wanted to.

                      Game over 3 to 0. But that is not football.

                      Does anyone else remember Montana beating Troy State in the semi-finals of 1996 by a score of 70 to 7?
                      Now that is a beat down.....

                        UNI ran up the score against Maine by leaving their starters in the game for the 4th quarter....

                          In the playoffs I think you keep playing. No reason to risk injuries on starters, but no reason to pull back.

                            I agree. I was just continuing the crazy logic that people were using against ASU.

                              How about we just leave it at the fact that everyone in this state rightfully hates Appy State.
