I was most disappointed with OU's last possession in regulation. Three straight running plays including the third down run that was stopped a yard away from a first down. OU was up by a touchdown. One more first down would have iced the game.

And then in the first overtime with GA leading by three, OU again played it safe. They could have won the game with a touchdown. They didn't even throw it into the end zone.

If the NE Patriots were faced with similar situations, Belichick would have gone for the jugular.

The OT play calling was playing safe. That’s not how OU won games this year. Do what you do, and put the pressure o the other team to stop what you do best. Georgia did what they do, run the ball. OU need to play for the end zone on it’s OT possession’s, instead they were only interested in gaining a first down.
