It made me mad but I get the logic. He didn't want a true freshman to be forced to make a play to win in regulation b/c he knew that Arky's kicking game is so bad they were probably going to have to go for the TD every possession in OT.
It took balls b/c the entirety of Aggieland would have been going nuts had we lost but it ended up working.
I don't follow.
Mond wouldn't have been forced to make a play, the option to kick is still there if he manages the clock correctly. A turnover would have been the same result there as it was when we threw in OT.

A turnover in regulation is game over. A turnover in OT would have still at least given us a chance. A slim distinction admittedly, but worth noting.
The clock was more important. Given our skill sets and TO situation, it would be obvious we’re passing, and on a short field. In OT, we’re working with more field and it opens the run game. We were able to utilize our full offense rather than risk the whole game on our true freshman QB who has taken some foolish risks on throws inside.
