More mistakes in Friday Night Lights

Question: When Boobie hurts his knee after going back in when Comer can't find his helmet, wasn't Comer the third string running back? Why couldn't they have kept Boobie's backup in there? On top of that, there was only a minute and some seconds left in the game and Permian was up 42-7. Couldn't they have just taken a knee instead of trying to run another play? The game was out of reach, and there was no need to run another play.

Answer: I can only think of two possibilities. It could be that 'taking a knee' is not allowed in this division's rules. Or, getting into the heads of the coaches, their philosophy of the game could be to gain as many points as possible even in a lopsided blowout, honoring the game and continuing sportsmanlike competition to the end.
