Very similar situation in Texas-OSU game. 10-10. OSU ball on about their own 15. 1:10 left Texas has all three time outs. OSU gets a first down run and then just keeps running. Announcers stunned. I thought- what else should they do. Its a defensive game. Their o-line is banged up. Burn as much clock as possible and play for OT. As it is Texas got it with about 30 left. Texas used TO. Didnt move it
OT- OSU FG. They win when Texas QB makes a horrible decision and floats a pass in EZ for an INT.
Iowa lost when wide open receiver drops an easy fourth down pass. He had the first down if he makes the catch. Very simple pitch and catch. Throw it 100 times to him he catches that pass 99 times.
Felt bad for both kids.Â

Footnote:Â NW won in OT as the announcers complimented the coach as being "the one person who can make the decision"
