by 8
starting with 3rd OT you have to go for 2 after a score
8 is the most you can win by

mickj...of course, it's rare...but you asked if it could happen.
But as for the original question in this thread...no investigation needed. And to wish someone had died is going way over the line.
June Jones always has Hawaii playing this style...besides, they couldn't have run out the clock, he was going for the clincher. It was a safe pass that wasn't intercepted...the Warriors still had chance to ice it with field goal but missed.
The real thing that should be investigated is the stupid comments by announcers that Hawaii could have run the last two plays and run out the clock...as DE NIRO wrote above, that wasn't true. I agree with the announcers that Hawaii mismanaged the clock earlier (getting run out of bounds, etc.) but once they got to that third down, they would have had to give up the ball if they didn't get a first down. Granted...they could have left Houston with about 20 seconds remaining...but if they had run two plays as the announcers suggested and Houston pulls a miracle play, the critics would be asking why Jones didn't kick the field goal.
It comes down to execution. Hawaii didn't do what was needed to close it out, and Houston capitalized. And, no, I didn't have a wager on the game.

"Can you win by more than 7 in OT?"
Why..Yes..Yes You Can..6 YEARS AGO I HAD
THE ABSOLUTE WRONG SIDE OF THE USC @ ASU game(yet won my bet by Divine Intervention), as Jake The Snake and Company not only rallied to force OT, but then score an offensive TD, then return an USC pass the distance on USC's ensuing series to cover the Double Digit Spread..Simply Amazing!

Why would a coach teach his players(or maybe he doens't) to run back the defensive touchdown if they're on offense first and already up. A smart player would take the interception and kneel down to the end the game. But i'm guessing young college students surely would rather have the TD to pad the stats.
