Coach benches starters for the first half, they come out and are down by 40 points in the 3rd. That would mean that the running clock would be in effect. What if they caught up and tied it. Would overtime be a running clock as well?

The rule is yes, OT is a continuation of the 4th quarter.
In Mich, I also believe if the team can cut the deficit to 30, the clock goes back to normal.

p.s.
And we do stop for FT's with 2 min to go in the 4th quarter when there was a running clock still in effect.
