Forget that.  They are heroes for doing the right thing.
If they aren't going to be football robots, take their scholarships.

I agree.  However, they aren't going to win the game.  By point differential, this year's Razorbacks are the 5th-worst winless (in SEC games) team since division play began in 1992.  
Yeah, this isolated incident, not so much.  But what do 6-5, 7-4 or 8-3 teams have to lose by using finales just to get some redshirting players experience?  I think the bowl games are REALLY going to be glorified spring games.

Probably not good strategy to throw to back of end zone in this snow

The only thing that isn't infuriating to my senses about this football game is watching happy kids celebrate so many touchdowns. But seriously, this is essentially an auto-7 points per drive, assuming one can avoid a turnover. Sportswise, Big XII football really must be the most inane thing that 10+ million americans could ever LOVE.

Big-time.  Coaches are going to use that extra practice time and real-game situations against decent (but not truly meaningful) competition to fast-forward some young talent's development.
Bowl games will be like MLB's Futures Game.

Why would you even need to block an OU defender let alone all the way to the parking lot.

I'm going to call this new sport "Twelving" because calling it "football" isn't accurate.  Not gonna bitch and moan, just going to call it something different.  For example:  "Monday night, the Rams beat the Chiefs in a game of twelving."
