The problem is, you can't really win in that situation. If you take a knee, you embarrass the other team that much more. If you kick a FG, you are still running up the score, basically. If you run a play, and score on it, you are running up the score.
Even if Smith ran outside, if the D couldn't stop him, they deserved to be scored on like any other point in the game. I don't want it to look like I'm condoning it, I'm just making that point.
