STILLWATER — The fourth-quarter clock ticked down to all zeros, and a voice came over the speaker inside the Lewis Field press box.
Speaking to media members in attendance, the man on the microphone proclaimed the game over, Oklahoma State 17, Southwest Missouri State 17.
In 1995, and for decades before, a game ending in a tie was a common occurrence in NCAA Division I-A football.
But this was Aug. 31, 1996, and an entirely foreign concept had been introduced to D-I football in the offseason.
Overtime.
With a 13-yard touchdown run by David Thompson, OSU won the first overtime game ever played by a Division I-A program, 23-20 over Southwest Missouri State, concluding a historic day in major college football, or at least the answer to an obscure trivia question.
