At no point did I seriously expect to lose until we kicked the field goal.

When we did that, I was like, our defense is about to give up a TD. We had been answering and holding serve all night. That run, run to set up a FG felt like all kinds of wrong. We just sent a message to the team that we are not trying to win this game.

Anyone who says before the 4th and 24 with under a minute to play has to be using 20/20 hindsight.  The D had them pushed back out of FG range and if that pass wasn't caught we kneel out for the win.

How the special teams coach still has a job is beyond me. It’s been horrible all year.  If they had better clock management thogh they would have never gotten the TD

Was worried before the game started.

Was feeling great with about 2:00 minutes left.

Was in full "we are going to lose" mode at 45 seconds left.

Unfortunately I had to leave the game at halftime to go to a concert downtown.  There were 3 of us that just kept refreshing the score on our phones.  As soon as we kicked the field goal and I saw the score and time left, I turned to one of them and said this doesn't feel good.  When we saw the final score, we shrugged it off as Houston must have had a great few plays to win.  Could not refresh the play by play.  Little did we know about the great sack and 4th and 24.  GRRRRR.

4th and 24. I knew it was over. Even going to OT I didn't like our odds with that momentum swing.

When we turtled up and kicked the field goal. When you play not to lose...you usually lose. CCS and Gilbert really F up the clock management on that drive. They gave Houston way too much time left on the clock.

Completely honest?  After the fg when we allowed the ridiculous kick off return yardage.  That's when I started to feel like it was over.

Did CCs ever mention that the clock management was a disaster? The coaches blew the game

At 6:15 was conserned ... so shortly after the half started. I texted my Sooner buddy that HOU was hungry and we might not adjust. At 7:00 I said it was game so I guess I'm more pessimistic than most
