Leach has been outspoken on the point that he doesn't believe in folding things up with a big lead late in games. Just earlier this year the Idaho head coach and Leach had words at mid-field after their game, apparently because Leach put his first string back in on defense to preserve a shutout. He probably wishes he'd kept the ball in the air rather than hand off to a running back. I wouldn't be surprised if the notion of running out the clock to secure victory is something he sees as cowardly.
