In the national spotlight Texas Tech has flexed its muscles. Its passing offense, with Graham Harrell at the helm, has not faltered and Tech has displayed a solid running game. But more importantly the Raiders have shown how influential their defense can be. The Defense's recent success, particularly the line's ability to pressure the opposing quarterback, has given Harrell the ball more and been the key factor for the Raiders back to back wins against top ten teams. So, with an offense that commonly gets 500 yards a game and a defense that feels jacked after the past two weeks, is Tech unstoppable? Traveling to Norman and facing Oklahoma will be the test. If they have enough stamina to play three top ten teams in consecutive weeks and the accurate Sam Bradford does not pick apart Tech's secondary, then yes.

There will be more than 90 points scored in this game. Both offenses are too good to be locked down for more than a half.

Texas Tech is definately stoppable. It just may take a Florida team playing one of their seemingly common "good" games. I'm not even a florida fan but as long as an SEC team wins the big game then i'm happy.

Oklahoma has looked pretty good at home against unranked opponents. Congratulations on that. They haven't beaten a top 5 team in 8 years. Oklahoma fans will begin walking out of the stadium before the game is over, because they will not be to handle watching their Sooners get their **** handed to them. Besides, it will be good to see Big 12 team other than Oklahoma go to a BCS bowl and actually be able to compete.
