Did West Virginia run up the Orange Bowl score?

Yes, the game was as good as

No, you keep playing until
the game is over.

West Virginia destroyed records in the Orange Bowl by ripping apart Clemson 70-33. The game was well in hand even at half time (West Virginia outscored the Tigers 35-3 in the 2nd quarter alone.) Yet, they continued actively trying to score throughout the 3rd quarter, only letting up by the 4th. Should the Mountaineers have started running the clock after half time, or were they right to keep playing through the 4th?
