Tomorrow is a big day in the college ranks, featuring Texas Tech against Oklahomo, in Norman OK. Followed by unbeaten Boise State vs Nevada, and Utah's Holy War, BYU against the undefeated Utah Utes.
Each game has alot at stake, we will review what the winner gets and what the loser must live with.
The winner of Tech vs the Sooners gets all the marbles, inside track for the Big 12 title and the inside track for the NC game.
Both teams are hot, Oklahoma with just one loss and Tech having their best season ever. Tech's current win streak dates back to a year ago, when they beat the Sooners and spoiled their season.
Revenge must be on the minds of Sooner nation. Can they pay the Red Raiders back and ruin the perfect season they are enjoying?
Tomorrow is the day both Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford and Red Raider receiver Michael Crabtree show case their talents on national tv, while making their case to the Heisman voters.
Each athlete is very gifted and plays to a level most can only dream about. However they are not the only ones on the field.
Not to be overlooked is the Red Raider Senior QB, Graham Harrell who is one of thirteen Wuerffel finalists. Certainly an honor for Harrell and something Red Raider Nation can say with pride.
This prestigious award is given to the football player that best embodies exemplary community service combined with outstanding academic and athletic achievement.
Graham Harrell has shown his academic credentials, graduating with a degree in history in Dec 2007, he is currently working on his Masters.
Texas Tech has largely been overlooked until this season. Quarterbacks like Chase Daniel, Colt McCoy and OU`s Sam Bradford have had more spotlight than Harrell, who comes into tomorrows game as the nation's leading passer, and is the NCAA's active career leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns. He is third on the all-time NCAA passing yardage list with 14,759 yards, demonstrating his Weurffel athletic credentials.
Having Crabtree and his understudy Detron Lewis to throw to makes his life easier and hell for defenses.
Detron Lewis is the second big play maker on the Tech offense and the only new offense starter this year. Lewis got every ones attention last season in his break out game against Northwestern (La) State, grabbing his first two collegiate passes for touchdowns of 13 and 50 yards.
Tomorrow in Norman is a big day for the Big 12 and for college football fans who enjoy big time football at its best.
We pick the Red Raiders by 10.
