What was the real reason the Cowboys played conservative on offense in the 4th quarter against UT?
During the weekly Big 12 Coaches Teleconference, Coach Gundy addressed the conservative play-calling late in the game against Texas. The comment may or may not come as a surprise to most...
Gundy said he went conservative offensively because he "wanted to give the defense a chance to win the game. It’s OK to win on defense."

Although the defense was playing exceptionally well all game, it is questionable that the vintage Bob Simmons offense OSU decided to roll out late was indeed intentional for the reason Gundy expressed.
