I wanted us to go for two, but I also thought there was a higher probability of Rattler turning it over in some disastrous way than Sam.
which explains why you'd go to overtime, but not why you'd choose to extend overtime after OU stuck in up your defense's ass twice in a row
I don't agree with this, but I can at least see the perspective of "we have these bitches on the ropes!" at the end of regulation and thus thinking "so let's finish them off in overtime", expecting them to go three-and-out and your offense to score on its first possession. But after the game had clearly turned again in OT and OU scored TDs on both possessions, how could you NOT think "let's get the fuck out of here with the win right now"...? How could you possible think "nah, let's play another OT where we'll both HAVE to go for two" and think that the optimal way forward?
"you" meaning Herman, not "you" meaning Bill Lumbergh or B00M
