Oregon turned the ball over on downs four times in State territory. I castigated Tennessee's Butch Jones for not going for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1 against Oklahoma, but you could technically point this out as a reason why you take the points. (It's not a very effective argument, mind you -- anecdotes over large-sample stats -- but it's an argument.)
This game was just a delight. Both teams making plays on both sides of the ball, both teams going for the win, etc. More of these home-and-homes, please.
