Unfortunately, a team has to play ALL 4 Quarters to beat the really good teams.
Alabama proved this against LSU. Bama played horrible the 1st Half but played some really good football the 2nd half. [Too little-Too Late]

But OU outplayed them in the first half. Does only second half count?
I'd say it's more like OU out-lucked them in the first half--Hurts threw some very ill-advised passes yesterday, and it was only a combination of luck and CeeDee Lamb being an exceptional receiver (who's apparently really good at the tip drill) that turned them into big plays for us. If the Cyclone D converts one or two of those tips into picks, that game has a very different ending.

But they didn't, so it didn't, which is the bottom line.

Ok, here is my conspiracy theory.

It would be historical and unpresented to have three Heisman Trophy winners in consecutive years under one coach.

Is Riley looking to make that book by giving Hurts the win and gaining his name in history that will likely never be broken?

Hurts numbers are beating Murray and Mayfield. IMHO he is certainly among the leaders at this point.
It is Joe Burrow's Heisman Trophy to lose. A huge win over Alabama and a road win at Texas, wins over Florida and Auburn (all four opponents ranked in the Top Ten at the time of the games), and Burrow has come up big in all of them. He is the star quarterback on the No. 1 team in the country and is the man to beat for the Heisman.

A huge win over Alabama with an injured QB. Tua's mobility was about 50-60 % of normal. I wonder if the outcome would have been different if the tables were turned and Joe Burrow was playing at about 50-60% mobility.

LSU won and now at some point they must face a team playing better than anyone they have yet faced or will face in Ohio State.

Injuries are a part of the game...... coulda, shoulda, woulda doesn't count. LSU steamrolled their defense.
