New rule in Iowa this year, which most seem to like.

If a team, at any point during the game, gets a lead of 35 points or more, the rule kicks in.
Running clock, starting on R's touching of KO, and it only stops for a TD, TO, or extended injury. It runs on incomplete passes, OOB's plays, during penalty enforcements and everything. If the game gets below 35 points, it goes back to normal timing unless you get to 35 again.

Before this year we had a 50 point rule in which the game ended. This is better.
