I'm sorry, but this game came down to clock management. On Texas's last drive, they had a 2nd and goal situation with 1 min 30 sec left and both the game clock and play clock winding down. They snapped the ball with 30 seconds on the play clock! Why would you do that?? This is your last set of downs, why leave potentially more time for Texas Tech after you score?
Before TTU's heroics at the end, that was the decision that gave them a chance.
despite playing its 4th #11 or better team in 22 days, despite the fact that we were at their place, despite the fact that tech's constant holding was blatantly obvious on a 20" analog TV (check the replay of orakpo being injured, he was in a sleeper hold), the game came down to the fact that colt mccoy and mac brown apparently have the clock management skills of the houston texans.
congrats tech, you're going to lose to ok state.

How insane a division is the Big 12 South? They have 4 legitimate BCS teams (Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Texas, and Oklahoma State). I'm sure fans in that division are looking at all the tiebreaker scenarios. With Texas Tech still having Oklahoma and Oklahoma State remaining, there's still a good chance they'll lose one. I think there could easily be a 3-way tie at 7-1 for that division title. If Oklahoma wins out, Texas wins out, and Texas Tech wins all but the Oklahoma game, I wonder who goes to the Big 12 Title Game??
tie breaker in the big xii is BCS standing.
Last I checked, that was a CLEAR block in the back, that flag should have never been picked up. Texas had more favorable calls than Tech. PERIOD. THEY ALWAYS DO. But yeah you're right, Mack Brown was incompetent on that final drive. He should have known better than to let his defense win the game. You can keep Tech out of the end zone some or the time, but not all the time.
As for Okie State beating Tech at home. Its not likely.
Now OU, yeah maybe, Okie State. Doubtful.
