Does that really make sense? Statistically do more teams win close games going for 2 or in overtime? Yeah if they got it then Iowa State coach looks like a genius but I think they had a better chance in OT

And they were the underdog. I think there’s something about those red zone possessions in OT that really favors the more talented team.All the momentum, on the road, good call.
I have always hated college OT - starting a drive on the opponent's 25 yard line is just too big a change from standard football. I'd rather they simply have no overtime or adopt the same rules the NFL has.And they were the underdog.

I don't think Mack Brown made a bad decision going for two, but the play call was bizarre.You All make valid points. I remember earlier in the season Mack Brown tried it against Clemson and it cost him. Ugh! But then again high risk / high reward.

Once the call was made though Iowa State got absolutely screwed. There was blatant pass interference that went uncalled. Cue the "it's the BCS". Refs hosed Iowa State but that was probably predictable given OU's shot at a major bowl or maybe an outside shot at the CFB playoff.Bad call. They had outscored em 20 to 0 in the fourth qtr. Take it to OT and keep doing it.

It was on target but the DB had the receiver's left arm completely wrapped up well before the ball arrived. Would have been a really great catch under the circumstances.The pass was right on target, really should have been caught. Sooners got lucky.
I agree, I also believe that you take games to OT as well, the longer the better team has to play the more the pressure builds on them. Iowa State was not suppose to win whether it is in regulation or OT so extend the game as long as possible and see what happens.Bad call. They had outscored em 20 to 0 in the fourth qtr. Take it to OT and keep doing it.
They should’ve definitely kicked it.
I believe there was 24 seconds left & Okla had 2 or 3 timeouts left.
I was thinking if they tied it Okla might’ve kneeled & just went to OT.
If ISU would’ve got the 2 point Okla had the time to get in fg range.
One replay view made it obvious but the I think the official whose call it should have been didn't have the best view of it. Terrible no call for ISU. Underdog teams playing against upper ranked teams have no shot of getting a call at crunch time in P5 football it seems.I'll have to rewatch. I didnt have a good view of it.
**** the NFL. College OT is just fine.I have always hated college OT - starting a drive on the opponent's 25 yard line is just too big a change from standard football. I'd rather they simply have no overtime or adopt the same rules the NFL has.
horrible call,they had just turned the ball over,takem to ot.and win it then.All the momentum, on the road, good call.
