I think the running clock is a better option. I've seen both teams play their subs and they get playing time. I don't think playing time should be taken away from the kids. We had a team in NW Minnesota which won something like 60 straight games. In the second half they were playing their subs and that is how they got experience for their younger kids. If the game was over, those kids wouldn't get to play. If they practice all week long, they should get a chance to play a game.
