Or it could be that we recruit 4 and 5-stars. But keep pumping sunshiner! One day we'll lose one of these close ones in the 4th quarter and the anti-foot-on-throaters will literally be left without an argument.

Lolol are you literally retarded? We lost a close game to Pitt with our starters in, OK it happens. I'm talking about putting in terrible scrubs when you could close a game out for no reason. But you're right - we won the NC last year so that justifies it. Stopppppppp bro

So can you name a time when we lost a game because the coaches left in the backups? No? You might want to think before you post such ridiculous things.

I will have to look through the box score to find a terrible scrub who has played. I am pretty sure most who played today we're all highly valued recruits, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Before you get to pumping that fact, do't forget the only reason that happened is #2 Clemson, #3 Michigan, and #4 Washington all lost that weekend...while OH State & Louisville had a loss, and Wisconsin was a 2 loss team. If it had been just Clemson to lose that weekend, we might not have went at all.

See my post above....there's a bit of a fact you are missing there. The fact we didn't move in the polls after the loss for a very good reason.

Yes it is frustrating that it wasn't 28-0, but can you honestly tell me the game was ever in doubt? Pretty sure dabo and bv know what they're doing, that playing time for second and third string is invaluable come later on in the season in a huge game where someone might get hurt or ejected, we then have the ability to plug in a guy who has some substantial playing time under his belt while other teams would need to take a guy that got some garbage time against Canisius State.... depth is a big thing playing the 13th,14th, and 15th games of the season. Plain and simple, win the acc, and we are in.

I'm not sure what putting in backups on defense has to do with not keeping our foot on the pedal on offense.
Maybe your reading comprehension needs a little work.

I do believe everyone completely understands why we do it and the results. However can you honestly say that it is not frustrating as all heck to watch?

I hear you and agree but that's not really what I asked you. Is it frustrating to watch now, yes it is, thus that is why you see the floods of posts about it.
You could easily turn your response right around. Would you rather blow an easy win right now to have a better defense next year? That's the possibility people imagine. Gave up an easy 1st Td, then Hunter threw a close one that could have been a pick6. 21-14. Onside kick and somehow WF scores and now it is 21-21 and who knows what happens.
Just saying! Go Tigers

and argue that this is not baseball. if a player is subbed out ( not ejected ), they can re-enter the game. heck, we could bring our whole starting "d" back out if we absolutely needed to.

In just to get a shutout, and one of our studs get hurt? Then what?

Who cares about a shutout? How about a cover??? Best bet in Vegas is to bet against us on the spread, lord know we won't cover like we should. Wake beat the line today by 7.5!!

I didn't know that covering the spread was a factor in determining conference champions or playoff contenders. Good thing we routed everyone last year en route to the title game...oh wait.
Seriously dude, hit the showers for today. You're making a fool of yourself.

A blowout certainly feeds hubris and fan swagger, but it just isn't a priority for this coaching staff. And about the only thing lower on the priority list than a blowout is regarding in any way, shape, or form what Vegas thinks about the points spread. It's ok if you care and express your concerns, but the defending National Championship coaching staff clearly does not.

Game experience for younger guys + reduced injury exposure for the starters = worth it every time.
