Mike Gundy Going for 2 With Bedlam on the Line Was the Right Call

NORMAN — Taylor Cornelius rolled right, found an open-enough Tylan Wallace streaking in the front of the end zone, and flung the pigskin across his body errantly into the diving chest of OU cornerback Tre Brown.

There were 63 seconds left in regulation of the 2018 iteration of Bedlam, but the clock may as well have read all zeros. After inching to within a point following a late score, 48-47, OSU opted to assemble a kill-shot that, ironically, wounded only the team that attempted to arm it.

Gundy didn’t want to take it to overtime. He wanted to win.
