    I'm not sure what to expect here, Texas "only" put up 28 points on Oklahoma State last weekend at home. But then Texas Tech and Defense have not exactly been commonly used in the same sentence.

    I'm leaning towards a 56-52 game where the last team with the ball wins. Maybe a game like Colts freshman year (2006) where they got up on Texas by 3 scores and then the Longhorns got hot and erased that and then held on in the late 4th qtr by stopping Tech a couple of times on 4 down inside the 35 and overcomming a Jamall Charles fumble. Harrell was a soph and threw for 500yds on us on 42 of 61 passing. It was a war.

    Hopefully we can run the football and have long drives that eat a lot of clock and keep Harrell on the sidelines.

    This should be another amazing game to watch in the weekly drama that is Big XII football. You may be able to beat the quality of football played in the Big XII but you'd be hard pressed to beat it in terms of the entertainment value.

    I personally sincerely hope that Bama and Texas remain undefeated so we can see a high powered Big XII offense versus a top notch SEC D. I'd pay money to see that.

    The TechTards are so overrated it's not funny.

    Their offense still has trouble at times.
    Their new "defense" couldn't slow down the Aggies until the second half when our walking-wounded OL could no longer give JJ a second to pass.

    I suspect this will end up a 49 - 35 win for Terry's Sips. The only thing I see swinging it against them would be a rash of turnovers.

    They are both fun and gun teams, but Texas still has the better athletes.

    What a game. If Texas scores TT probably doesn't have enough time to come back.

    This has been a really interesting game.

    I'm not sure who I'm rooting for.

    Texas scores with 1:29 to go, takes the lead 33 - 32. Texas Tech has one timeout and 1:29 to go.

    Wow, after going to the Gator game now watching this game I may have trouble sleeping tonight.

    Oh my gosh, unbelievable finish.

    The fans were so stupid though and could have cost Texas Tech the game.

    Wow what a finish.

    One for the books.

    Fantastic game for neutral fans! Very exciting to watch and a lot of scoring right down to the finish.

    This will shake up the BCS Standings.

    A lot of so called upsets today.

    What a finish. Harrell is really good. And Crabtree might be the best receiver in the country.
