OU should have won the game both in regulation and in OT. The coach became too conservative late in the game and tried not to lose rather than play to win. And the squib kick before halftime was a bonehead call.

That was the difference in the game. Without gifting the 3 points to GA at the half OU wins outright in regulation.

shouda, wouda, couda ...
sounds to me like OU lost BECAUSE the coach became too conservative, tried not to lose instead of playing to win, and making boneheaded calls like squib kicks ...
‘And the squib kick before halftime was a bonehead call.’
nothing was boneheaded about the call; coaches do it all the time to prevent a potential long return...what was boneheaded was kicking it right to a guy who smartly downed the ball immediately...
and the kicker still had to hit the longest field goal in Rose Bowl history, or else no one would be talking about it...
