Week 10 Game of the Week Thread: #1 Texas vs #7 Texas Tech

Should be a great game. High scoring affair is expected. The key for the Longhorns is whether they can stop the Red Raiders passing attack. The Longhorns have trouble stopping the pass, and they could have a long day if the dont stop Crabtree and the others. For the Red Raiders the key is whether they can stop Colt McCoy and the Longhorns offense.

Slow or not, Crabtree is one great player.

that was a nice game. i knew texas was going to come back, they were stale the whole game, so they had to break out of that funk.

but i also knew watching the TT offense drive on texas for the whole game, that they were going to come back with plenty of time on the clock.

That was an awesome game.

Looks like PSU got a good chance at the NC game.

I caught the 4th quarter of this game, and Texas lost this game because of 2 mistakes by 2 Freshmen Safeties, one mistake physical, the other mental.

The first was obviously that dropped INT with 10 seconds left. The ball was tipped, and basically a floating feather moving 1 MPH dropping right into his arms, and Black Gidion dropped it.

Then, on the Crabtree's touchdown, the deep safety on that side came over to help the corner when the ball was thrown to Crabtree. If you watch #12 closely, when he comes over to help, he RUNS RIGHT BY NOT DOING ANYTHING. All he should be thinking about is running over and just smashing Crabtree out of bounds, which could have caused a drop, or atleast getting crabtree out of bounds. Instead he runs right by, Crabtree shakes the corner and game over. TERRIBLE mental mistake.

pushing crabtree out of bounds wouldnt have helped at all since there would ve been couple seconds to take a chip shot FG to win the game. if anything they needed to keep him inbounds and hope that last couple of seconds wasted during the tackle.

missed interception was terrible though.
