ohio state repeatedly stopping texas at the 1 yard line one of the most perplexing coaching decisions i've ever seen

Could've had 1 minute and 1 timeout, the odds go up exponentially if that was the case.

I was thinking the same thing. Just let them score and take the time you have left

It was funny watching the ESPN win chance % skyrocket in Texas’s favor with every play. All within 5 yards of the goal line. Even ESPN’s algorithms were dunking on OSU. Instant classic though
