Oklahoma Sooners test the Texas Tech Red Raiders
You just know we’re in for one HUGE game on the college gridiron.
As the 2008 NCAA college football season goes forward for the final stretch, big games like this one will just keep on coming until the BCS bowl games arrive.
This weekend, the Texas Tech Red Raiders (10-0, 6-0) will look to go 11-0 for the first time, completing quite a brutal stretch with its trip to Norman to face the Oklahoma Sooners (9-1, 5-1).
The No.2 Texas Tech Red Raiders can clinch their first Big 12 South Division title and take another step towards a BCS berth Saturday when they visit the Oklahoma Sooners, a team ranked No.5 in the nation and is also battling for the division crown as well as a spot in the BCS.
Prior to last weekend’s bye, the
Red Raiders won 63-21 at Kansas on Oct.25, defeated then No.1 Texas 39-33 on Michael Crabtree’s last-second touchdown catch on Nov.1 and pounded eighth-ranked Oklahoma State 63-20 the following week.
Graham Harrell has directed coach Mike Leach’s pass-happy offense to a Football Bowl Subdivision-best 433.7 passing yards per game, letting the Red Raiders to land third in scoring at 47.9 points a contest. They’ve gained at least 421 yards in every game and lead the FBS in average total yards at 566.3.
Texas Tech topped 600 yards for the fourth time this season against Oklahoma State, as Harrell threw for 456 yards and six touchdowns.
On the other hand, the Oklahoma Sooners lead the FBS with 51.4 points per game. Sam Bradford is directing the third-most proficient offense in passing yards per game (355.5) and total yards (549.8). The Sooners have scored at least 35 points in all 10 games, but have really stepped it up offensively since a 45-35 loss to Texas on Oct.11, averaging 57.3 points and 590.8 yards during a four-game winning streak.
This is a game between two teams looking for a BCS bowl game berth. The winner? Football fans like you and me.
