He knew that they probably wouldn't get the 1st down which would leave Mizzou just a couple yards from the endzone and Mizzou would definitely score again as they had most of the night. So to lessen the margin of loss and make it look like less of an ass whippin in the poll voters eyes, he decided to punt. As a Mizzou fan, I loved it of course. But I did wonder how the OU fans felt about them conceding defeat with over two minutes left in the game down 9 pts. It seems to me that at that point, the ranking and perception of the school became more important than getting a win.
