Man what a game that was Saturday night. Texas Tech came out on fire and just simply put a beating on Oklahoma State. And by beating I mean it was like they took them out behind the woodshed and whipped them with a belt over and over. It was rough.
The thing is, as ugly as it was for OSU, it was just as much a thing of beauty for Tech. Here is how it went for Tech in this game: on their first possession of the game they ran three plays and fumbled the ball away to OSU. Then on their next 7 possessions they scored touchdowns. Seven straight times on offense that resulted in a touchdown. Finally on their 9th possession they turned the ball over again and then on thier tenth possession they scored one last TD forgood measure. So two turnovers with 7 TDs sandwiched in between and one more after the second fumble just because they could. No punts, no fieldgoals, only touchdowns. Not a bad day really.
These weren't short, quick drives either. These were touchdown dirves that covered 80, 70, 97, 72, 48, 80, 96, and 74 yards. That is a lot of ground to cover every time. Seven of the eight drives ended with a touchdown pass. Graham Harrell threw 6 TDs and his back up threw the last one. It was overall a very impressive offensive performance for Tech. And the defense stepped up as well. They held OSU to only 20 points and forced 4 punts and 2 turnovers. This is the best D that the Red Raiders have played since Leech took over as head coach.
Say what you will, I think Tech deserves the number two spot in the BCS. They have played incredibly well this season...far better than I would have expected them to. The defense has played big and the offense has been firing on all cylinders. They are playing like an elite team in an elite conference, and that makes it all the more exciting to see. Peace and Love y'all.
