real classy move by ou leaving their starters in for 4th quarter when they're up 50 points.
If you don't understand football please stay out of football threads. With 3 teams tied for the lead in the Big 12 South the BCS standings are key, the standings are driven by polls and the polls are greatly influenced by margin of victory. A 50 point win is worth far more than a 20 point win and might mean the difference between a national title shot and a lesser bowl.
i guarantee i know more about football than you. you'll see it today. brad edwards' projected bcs standings has texas #2.
as far as the "3 way tie" in the big 12 south, it's not a 3 way tie. it's between ou and texas. the determining factor is will voters vote for who won the red river rivalry or who is the "hot" team.
btw, anyone hear mike leach's quote after the game? he actually had the audacity to say no one has ever had to play a tougher 3 game stretch, LOLOLOLOL. i guess he forgot when texas played a harder 4 game stretch and didn't have a bye week separating games.
Its not a three way tie until OU beats Okie State. If Okie state beats OU(they are playing in stillwater), it'll be UT to the NCG and Tech to the Big 12 title game.
UT doesnt have to worry about the polls. Tech is still beating OU in several of the computers.
As for me, well, its obvious the Tech defense that played last night played no where near what they had been playing. Even if they played like the did against UT and Okie State we probably would have lost, but that was classic Tech D from several years ago. I've seen seen less missed tackles in a Jr Highschool football game. Tech isnt as bad as that game made them appear, they just had a horrible game in Norman. It was often the 5 or 6th guy to touch a guy that actually ended up tackling.
I was waiting for Carter to body slam on OU player. The only two Tech players to play with emotion were Elf and Carter.
It's called playing against the No. 1 scoring offense in the country.
No it was more than that. There are no excuses for the lack of tackling. That doesnt have to do with how good the offense is.
