If they had had that rule in place, there would be no outcry.

Had I been the coach, by the time the score had reached a margin where winning was the foregone conclusion, I'd have asked the opposition coach to come to a mutual decision. I believe that by "halftime", there would have been a clear picture of where that game was going. Leading by 59-0, facing a team with virtually no depth and a 4 year winless record. While I believe in miracles, there was no way that team was going to be competitive after halftime.
