I have to disagree to some extent. If a team is a wishbone team and they have scored 4 long touchdowns running power and they keep running power, how is that different than a team throwing the ball when that is their primary offense?? If the score is out of a hand, a running clock will still run.

By BIG point is this, both teams agree to play each other...it's the defense's job to stop the offense, not the offense's job to stop themselves. Too often in society we worry about FEELINGS. Kids need to learn how to cope with failure (no matter the margin-they are 13-19 year olds, not 6 year olds), that is what builds perserverence and intestinal fortitude later in life.

Good post!
