If you don't want the score to be run up then stop them, or shut up.

How about this... if a team that is ahead by an absurd margin agrees not to "run up the score", should the other team also agree not to try to score?

Or how about this: leave your starters in and risk a desperate defense seriously injuring your star player. After all, what would they have to lose at that point? Classless? Possibly, but if an offense is there to score points, the defense is there to stop them.
