Give credit where credit is due: Bob Stoops has done a temendous job salvaging the Oklahoma Sooners' season. After the whole mess with Oregon, then losing the Red River Shootout, then losing Adrian Peterson to injury, it seemed like OU was in real trouble. But there they are, 7-2, back in the Top 25 without their top offensive player and fresh off a big win over Texas A&M. The Red Raiders are always tough, but at this point, I'm not betting against the Sooners anymore. What do you think?

This is a tough game to call. Texas Tech has really picked it up on offense the last couple of weeks while the OU offense has struggled. With the controversy of last year's game between these two, the Sooners should be eager for payback and the game is on their home field.

Forgive me, as a college football fan I should know, but... what controversy between these two teams last season?

Texas Tech is the official winner by a 23-21 score. However there were a couple of disputed plays at the end of the game that went in Texas Tech's favor including a 4th down spot that appeared to be marked about a yard beyond were it should have been.Then there is the disputed TD on the final play of the game where the Tech RB appeared to be down before reaching the ball over the end zone to win the game. Here is a link to the video of that final play.
