Honestly, I stopped paying attention when Zack Sanchez picked Mason Rudolph off with three minutes left. Then I saw the highlight.

Tyreek Hill had just fair caught a punt at the OSU 15, but OSU committed a running-into-the-kicker penalty. I guess I SORT of understand the logic of kicking again -- it'll kill another 10-15 seconds, and there's only a minute left. But Hill is a terrifying return man, and OSU still only had a minute to go 85 yards with no timeouts. From a risk management perspective, that's pretty close to even, I think. Still...

...damn. That's one hell of a way to (eventually) lose a game. Your star running back gets hurt, you blow a 14-point lead in the last five minutes, and you lose in OT. Oklahoma has lost four games this season, and pick sixes, punt returns, and missed chip-shot field goals have played prevalent roles. On paper, they've been about as good as projected. But that's not much consolation, I would assume.
