Right, the teams could do that, but I asked what are YOU, the official, looking to do about that? Aside from suggesting shortening the quarters (which I've done once, when it was 52-2 at halftime), I don't see what officials can do about these lopsided games. All you can really do is keep playing, and tell the kids that this happens sometimes, and you have to deal with it accordingly.
