What does Brandon do with Omar in blowouts?

I've been wondering this for quite some time now, and I really don't think I've seen the question posed here yet.
When we're in a game where we are up B!G at halftime (and we'll be in more than I couple this year, I'd wager), does coach leave Omar in or pull him so as not to appear to be trying to run up the score? If this staff is trying to get attention not only for Omar, but the program itself, I say no. The more gaudy the numbers Omar and the offense puts up this year, the more attention everyone gets.
Last year I don't think it would have been the right thing to do given the fact that Omar was still being broken in, and was actually broken himself (well, his toes, that is). This year, however, I say let the horses loose and see what happens.
I also realize that injury is a potential concern, but in my mind Omar has proven that he is smart enough to stay out of trouble.
