I think Tom Manning took over play calling for the Purple Kitties on the last set of downs. Wow.

The freshman QB may have been knocked out. I took a really hard hit on a QB run and then never came back in.

I think it makes sense to go for the win there if you are a big road dog against a superior team. The longer the game drags out, the more likely you are to lose.

However, K State was the better team for the final 15 minutes of that game, and the Texas offense was doing nothing. K State should have kicked the field goal to extend the game because the odds favored them in a lengthy, multiple overtime game. Much better odds than winning on 4th and goal from the 4.

On top of that, the playbook shrinks quite a bit from the 4 yard line. Running plays are probably out, so the defense knows what to expect. Overall, it just doesn't make sense to let Texas win that game with a 42 yard OT field goal.

The x factor might have been a lack of faith in the field goal unit.

Seems we should be rooting for the Sooners.
Win out we're in no matter what.
Lose one and we'd rather be tied with OSU.
But if it’s head to head vs OSU, ISU would have the tie breaker
