And two other times they go for it on 4th and miss when the odds say kick the FG. 

Just more examples of Ryan Day's hubris.

23-3. Unreal chokejob by Ohio State. Game should have been over when Texas needed that miracle 4th down pass by Arch where he threw across his body. Game should have been over with Ohio State going up 9 instead of the kicker completely pissing down his leg on that last FG attempt.

That was an awful choke job by the Buckeyes!  I guess they thought like me that the game was over after 3 quarters!!  It ain't over 'til it's over!  Arch look real pedestrian for three quarters and then looked like a Manning in the 4th!

Yeah, I didn't like either of those decisions. Could have went up 13-0 with a makeable FG. Sometimes you just have to take the points. Going up 13-0 early in the game was the perfect time. 

I completely understand not wanting to just give up points and it's easy to say in hindsight, but it was probably best for Ohio State to just let Texas score at the end on 1st down. OSU would have had the ball back with over 1 minute to go. There appeared to be 0% chance they were keeping Texas out of the end zone on 4 downs from the goal line with the way Texas' O was controlling the 4th quarter.

Yep. Credit to him for continuing to fight and find a way. In fairness to him, he also had a nice TD pass dropped. But he did have some really bad throws. Same for Sayin. He'll likely be a 4 year QB. He disappeared in the 2nd half with some really bad throws.
