That descriptor of "meaningless game" would apply to all of our remaining games, I suppose then, right? These games aren't meaningless...
The upside of running 29 times is that you get a lot of game reps for your OL, who have been struggling for most of the season. Nice for them to get some live fire action, and that might pay dividends later this season and next.
Downside of running 29 times is that Chryst doesn't get a chance to hone his decision-making skills, which seems to be the common denominator of lack between Burns and him. But maybe Shaw is telegraphing that he would rather have the improvement from the OL than from the QB. Sure would fit the bill.
CMac plays a position inherently full of wear-and-tear risks. The only good thing about it is that he tends to break into space and get dragged down rather than clobbered by his center of mass, and that saves him from some of the blunt force trauma we usually associate with between-the-tackles running.
