He pulled the starters relatively early. One can't expect to put the 2's in and ask them not to perform, esp. if they are trying to prove themselves to the coaches, fans, family, friends, etc. Put another way, it would be asking a lot for the offense to march down and then, what, hand the ball to the other team--which would be an even bigger insult. Or how about they tell the Defense to let the other team score a TD or two? I get your point and it's a tough balance, but I don't see that he did anything wrong and judging from what we've seen, it's inaccurate and unfair to call the coach classless. Ideally we'll schedule a little stronger opponents in the future, but even that's a slippery slope. It used to be controversial to do that, but now if you look at the schedules of even the top teams they start off with games that don't truly challenge the team. I think it's more telling that we may just be that good. I don't know and we'll have to see how it plays out this week. One more note: I definitely recall some of Snyder's really good teams having scores like we saw last Saturday.
