All Eyes On Norman


It could very well be the biggest the game of the weekend, let alone the entire season in that matter. It's the one I told you I would have a whole other blog for. This is the biggest game in the history of one of the programs. Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma. Texas Tech has already had the two biggest games in the history of its football program this season thus far, but this is the one that will make all the difference. This is the biggest game in the Texas Tech athletic program, ever. Texas Tech comes into the game undefeated and sitting at number two in the country in the BCS, AP, and coaches polls. If Texas Tech wins this game they are a lock for the Big 12 title game and win the Big 12 South. Plus if they can pull this off they have a very realistic shot at playing for the National Title. This is not only a big game for the Red Raiders, the Sooners can do some good too if they win. If Oklahoma can win this game and their game against Oklahoma State, they can very possibly jump both Texas and Texas Tech in the BCS standings, thus giving them a trip to the Big 12 title game. This is going to be a game of match-ups and who ever wins the battles, will win the game.

Texas Tech and Oklahoma come in with two of the most prolific offenses in the country, with Oklahoma being first in scoring offense and Texas Tech a respectable third. This game is going to come down to if Oklahoma can stop Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree, who have connected for 18 touchdowns. If Texas Tech can step up on defense and limit Sam Bradford. So whoever has the biggest impact on defense is liable to come out the victor. Come Saturday night I know I will be watching, will you?
