Wow, what an ending in Lubbock!
That was probably the best football game I've watched since the '07 Fiesta Bowl.
I thought for sure Texas sealed the deal.
I thought... "All they have to do is play some reasonable defense and the game's over."
And then... "INTERCEPTION! ...NO! HE DROPPED IT!"
And then... "All they have to do is knock down this pass and the games' over"
And then... "Okay, just pull him out of bounds and the game is most likely over..."
And then... "Holy crap!!!!"
That was a lot of fun to watch.
I do feel terrible for Texas' freshman safety Blake Gideon, the one who let the game-sealing interception drop right through his arms, literally. What a horrible feeling that must be. That was the game, and he let it go. Poor guy.
It will be very interesting to see how far Texas drops and how high Tech climbs on such a close game. I just can't see Texas dropping below 5th.
I can see it maybe looking like:
1. Alabama
2. Texas Tech
3. Penn State
4. Texas
5. Florida
I think Florida leaps past Oklahoma.
It's definitely getting crowded at the top, and with Penn's light schedule I can see them getting jumped. I just don't see Tech making such a huge jump to #1, although it's definitely possible.
Tomorrow is going to be very, very interesting.
