when we were about to score with 3 minutes left...

Of the following strategies, two would have been high-risk; one was guaranteed not to work

1. Instead of running in for TD, Hubener kneels on 1, we kneel on 3 plays to run clock, then try to score on 4th down

2. We let OSU run back kickoff for TD, or after kicking out of bounds, defenders fall to ground on 1st play, allowing OSU TD and giving us time to possibly drive for win

3. We go up by 1 or 2 points with 3 minutes left on the clock and rely on D to stop OSU

Of course I'm not particularly serious......

Or on 3rd down run the ball instead of the throw back to the TE. It was a very good play call, but was dropped and stopped the clock. If we run and don't get the first down but still score on speed option we run quite a bit more clock.

gundy would have called a timeout

I'm very intrigued by this idea. Given that they have sufficient time, it seems like teams are able to get into field goal range quite frequently at the end of games regardless of how far they have to go to get there.

our kicker putting it out of bounds on the last kickoff is unforgiveable

It gave them 10 yards. They converted a 4th and 8 on that drive that was a much bigger mistake. It's pretty likely they were going to score whether they got it on the 15, 25, or 35.

oh, we should have kicked an onside if them scoring was inevitable then.

Honestly, we should have. The defense wasn't going to stop them.  If they got the back on the one yard line the only difference would be one less interception for zooks.
