Final 18 minutes of Louisville’s 72-0 win over Florida International had a running clock - Yahoo Sports

A running clock in a high school football blowout is nothing new. But in a college game? That's not something you see too often.
Florida International was trailing Louisville 51-0 with 18 minutes left in the game, so according to the American Athletic Conference, both FIU coach Ron Turner and Louisville coach Charlie Strong agreed to a running clock for the remainder of the game, which Louisville ended up winning 72-0.
That meant that instead of the clock stopping after an incomplete pass or when a player went out of bounds, the clock simply kept ticking until the end of the game, only stopping at the change between the third and fourth quarters.
