Another point. Could the Lions have even scored more last night?
JoePa is a good sport in every fiber of his being. Whereas other coaches (certain ones in FL come to mind) will run the score up as high as it will go if pursuit of rankings, JoePa will not. If he thinks the game is well in hand, he will employ a more conservative offense and let 2nd stringers play. This approach no doubt has hurt him ranking-wise on occasion, but it's the honorable approach. He is a PA treasure.

Did you notice Oklahoma had their starting QB throw for a TD in the final minute while leading UTEP, 62-0? Was *this* the type of "running up the score" you referred to? I thought by eliminating margin or victory from the computer calculations, running up the score was suppposed to be a thing of the past. Looks like the news didn't reach Norman.
