Texas Tech vs Texas

Dude I have to get up in 4 hrs for work, but man I could NOT turn this game off. Both teams were just unreal offensively tonight. Crabtree is amazing.

unbelievable. i still cant believe it! what a great game!!!! What a clutch play by harell and crabtree to score that TD with 1 second left.. wow, just wow.

for those that dont watch college football... whats wrong with you?!?!?!

wow, just wow... #1 goes down!!

That defensive back looked like Renaldo Hill out there on that easy interception chance on Texas Tech's last drive.

Crabtree is a monster!

Great game. I wanted Texas to win just because I dont want PSU to get a title shot. I see little hope of them not making it at this point.

I was a Teaching Asst at Texas Tech a few years before Zach Thomas was there. I can't imagine how great it would be to be in Lubbock tonight. Michael Crabtree would look great in a Phin's uniform but he likely be long gone by the time we pick.

Great win Red Raiders!!!!

Great game and great ending

Have to think the parties are going to be great tonight.

Crabtree is such a beast. It's amazing that he's only been playing receiver for two years I believe.

What a great game, Crabtree is the best WR in College right now.

Great game. Crabtree showed incredible strength on that game winning touchdown. Brian Orakpo went down with a knee injury. Does anybody know the extent of it?

Whats amazing is ALL that DB had to do was wait for Crabtree to come down with it and lay the wood to him. Tackle him and the game is over....Did his best Bullfighter act.

Gotta give credit to the Red Raiders. A good friend went to school in Lubbock and I will give him HUGE props tomorrow at work.

Wouldnt the clock have stopped because of the 1st down, giving them time to set up and spike it?

They still had 1 TO left anyways.

Actually, no I dont think they did have an TO's left.

No way the team gets 40 yards down the field and set up with :01 left on the clock...

There as 1 second after he broke a tackle and ran into the endzone...It was like 8 when he caught the ball.

And the clock automatically stops until the refs reset the ball, giving them time to get down the field before they wind the clock.

The Texas DB on the previous play should have caught the gift int he had go through his arms.

I think TT did have 1 TO left, looks like they only used 2 in the 2nd half.

They did have a TO left, I was watching and remember. That's the only reason they ran a play there rather than kicking.

Even still, the play was only 28 yards, was under/about 25 yards where he caught it (at worst he would have went out of bounds regardless). So 40 yards is a bit overstated.

Yeah, I was also watching the game. Tech had ZERO timeouts left bro. The longhorns had 2

Regardless, 28 yards is too far for a team to recover with only 1 tick on the clock and no way to stop it. IF the DB tackles Crabtree, the game is over....

The problem was, Texas left Harrell too much time.

Harrell drove the Red Raiders (9-0, 5-0) 62 yards to the touchdown in six plays, slinging the long pass to Crabtree, who broke the tackle of Curtis Brown, kept his balance, stayed in bounds and scooted the last few yards for a score.

Tech really just needed about 10 yards to set up a field goal for Donnie Carona, who had been benched earlier this season but kicked a 42-yard in the fourth quarter. But Harrell took a big chance with the big throw.

If Crabtree had been tackled instead of getting in, Texas Tech might have had a hard time calling its last time out to set up a short field goal before time expired.
