Well, usually in a 48-0 game, the winning team will just keep running the ball so the clock runs faster and the game ends sooner.
Eastern Mississippi Community College and Mississippi Delta Community College had a different idea. They brawled with 59 seconds remaining in the first half. Instead of footballs being thrown around on the field it was garbage cans. The game was later cancelled, and here’s why.

Trash cans being thrown, players running wildly all over the field … This has gone on for five minutes

EMCC’s Buddy Stephens “it all started in the pregame with one of our managers getting five stitches (from an attack by a Delta player)”

We have to wonder how many suspensions will be handed down to players as a result of the brawl.
