Mercy! If this score doesn’t scream for a mercy rule, I don’t know what will. The NCAA has a mercy rule for football. Football is a brutally demanding sport, so why risk serious injury continuing to play a game like this?
I am not casting blame on the players or coaches, just asking that some common sense be applied. No one should feel good about this game, so why not avoid the issue in the future with a mercy rule for football?
