Oklahoma and Texas Tech played the biggest game of the year up to date. It was supposed to be the battle of two of the best teams in the nation. Key words "supposed to be." If you saw the game you know what I am talking about. Oklahoma slayed the Red Raiders, 65-21. It wasn't even close. Oklahoma just looked like the superior team playing a pop-warner team. They controlled the game on both sides of the ball and were relentless. The main reason I wanted to focus on this game was not only the BCS complications, but the race for the Heisman trophy. Sam Bradford, Michael Crabtree, and Graham Harrell all came in as potential Heisman Trophy candidates, but only one left a true favorite.
Oklahoma's Sam Bradford came into the game with 38 touchdown passes compared to only six interceptions. He left the game with a school record 42 touchdown passes and still only six interceptions. Since Oklahoma's loss to the Texas Longhorns, Sam Bradford has tosses 19 touchdowns and only one interception. If you watched Saturday night's game you could tell that Sam Bradford is the best player in college football, not by his stats, but his overall presence on the football field. Texas Tech knew he would throw the ball, but still couldn't stop it. Bradford managed a nearly perfect game. He only threw 19 times, but completed 14 of them for over 300 yards. He was truly remarkable and if Bradford can beat Oklahoma State next week, he will probably be up on stage in New York accepting the Heisman Memorial Trophy.
