    2008 NCAA Week 10


    #1 Texas @ #7 Texas Tech

    Background
    Having started the season ranked #12, Texas Tech found itself ranked #7 in the country thanks to an 8-0 record while being the highest scoring team in the country. With the best QB-WR duo in the country in Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree, the Red Raiders played host to number 1 ranked rivals, Texas.

    Led by their own dynamic QB-WR combo of Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley, the Longhorns had risen to number 1 in the rankings thanks to wins over previous #1 Oklahoma, #11 Missouri and #8 Oklahoma State in the 3 weeks prior to this game.

    Texas were favoured by -3.5 in the highest profile regular season meeting ever between these two rivals. With an abundance of college football's superstars on display, this game lived up to all expectations and would end up being a key component of the great 2008 Big 12 rankings controversy.

    Cheers Cam, I'll watch it later tonight.

    Just noticed the video is only 90 odd minutes long in comparison to the 180 minutes + that they usually are, must have been a serious amount of running the ball in this one!

    Rather than this being a direct rip of the game as broadcast, it's a rip of the ESPN Classics version of the game, so a lot of the stops in play are cut out. I know the full versions are often more enjoyable, but the only full version I could find had commentary that was out of sync by about 3/4 seconds and it was awful to listen to.

    Will never forget that game. Still to this day I wonder how Crabtree caught that and stayed in bounds.
