The Fourth Down Play That Decided OSU-Baylor, and Why It Was Smart to Go for It

With one minute and 37 seconds remaining in the fourth and final frame Saturday, Oklahoma State led Baylor 31-28 and Mike Gundy had a decision to make: Go for it on fourth and 3 from the 36-yard line in Baylor territory, or try to pin the Bears deep and dare them to win it on an expiring clock with no timeouts left.

What resulted was the former, as you well know by now. Dillon Stoner went in motion across the formation as Taylor Cornelius fielded the snap, and No. 14 rolled right and was almost immediately swarmed by a crowd of Baylor defenders.
