Well lets see if this team can flip the usual road woes that have bit the red raiders in the rear repeatedly can somehow pull a HUGE upset in Norman and beat the Sooners. Vegas did not think too much of this as the line opened at OU by -25 and the public seems to think that was not enough and the line has continued to move against the red raiders.

But before we get into this week, let’s look back at the last two weeks as I missed updating this

AGGGIES - for all that happened it was a pretty good showing by tech. You take away a horrendous special teams gaff resulting in a blocked and returned field goal and a dead ball play that blew up Stephens knee ending his season, this could have been a win. But the Aggies held on to finish this series with a win.

WILDCATS - speaking of special teams there is a huge turd in the punch bowl for tech and it’s the special teams. If memory serves Tech had the same issues last year and they haven’t been fixed. TWO blocked field goals and a kickoff return will tend to force you into a loss. And then, wait for it, the Tech offense disappeared in a key game in the second half gaining only 6 pts.

At least it can’t get worse, oh wait it can. Tech gets to go on the road and head to Norman where the Sooners have a 39 game win streak. OU is a monster on both sides of the ball.

Offensively they have unreal talent at QB w Landry Jones and his key receiver broyles just set the ncaa career reception mark last week in their whuppin of kansas. Defensively they are just as good. 

The good news for the Red Raiders is that offensively(minus that 2nd half) are still the number 9 offense in the country and Doege is making defenses look silly. And Crawford and Washington have stepped up on the ground to make up for Stephens absence.

I believe that this will be a shootout but that OU comes out with 14 pt win.
