You pretty much have to run up and down the field completely unimpeded for an hour to score 91 points. Maybe the winning team doesn't have a second and third string to put in.

Either way it reflects pretty poorly on the other coach - seems like his team just rolled over.

Heard a story about this on the radio this morning. The coach took out his starters halfway through the first quarter. And he asked the refs to keep the clock running no matter what. He could have scored a lot more.

When my wife and I were first married, we got tickets to an international baseball youth championship. Some European country (Spain, if I recall) drew the short straw and got matched up with Taiwan, which has a long baseball tradition compared to almost none in Europe.

The Taiwanese had an 11-0 lead by the 4th inning. After Spain finished their at-bats scoreless in the bottom of the 4th, they called the game. There was a mercy rule in effect which ended the game with a 10 run lead. Since we are talking about kids, it seems like that should be the rule here. I'm not sure what the football equivalent is of a 10 run lead, but maybe 42 points ahead would be a good start.

I'm not faulting the winning coach. He did the right thing by putting in his third string and keeping the clock running, but there was a serious mismatch in the teams from the get-go.
