....I wonder if NIL played any factor in the kid still being in the game to inflate his stat line. Gotta get those big numbers and name recognition, so next season he can make that sweet sweet endorsement $.

The winning HC deserves to be called onto the carpet for keeping his QB in the game. There's probably a LOT of guys on that team that either don't get a lot of PT or have yet to see the field. Open up the depth chart, let them and their families have a chance to cheer them on. It sounds like your QB is moving on at the very least, might want to give the backup a few reps to see what you have to look forward to next season.

I like that some states go to a constantly running clock once a team has an all but insurmountable lead. Get the game over with, I doubt either team really wanted to prolong the beating or risk injury to any of the kids on the field. Truth be told, I'd be in favor of calling any game once a team gets to 50+ points and a 20-point lead. Stats or concessions aren't THAT important.
