Courtesy of SI via a AP Photo.What a great shot of the game winning touchdown. You can see the great hands of Michael Crabtree though they are not showing the fact his feet are dancing less than a half a foot from the out of bounds. When he crossed into the end zone the clock said one second left in the game.
Also what a perfect shot of the football showing the Texas Tech logo! You couldn't ask for better. I was really not happy that Tech held the lead in this game all the way until less than last minute and one-half of the game and they might lose. So this game winning TD was so appropriate.
Since I first went to TTU in 1988 Tech has been able to beat Texas and Texas A&M in upsets regularly but usually Tech is not really all that good. They just rise up and play well. Spike Dyke's teams beat both A&M and Texas in a balanced number and combined than even Leach. Leach has A&Ms number but against Texas he has had a lot less success. But Tech was never a real contender when they beat either school....it was just an upset and Tech went to a consolation bowl if lucky.
This upset was only in the odds from Vegas not in Tech's ability. They really are this good (the number 6 ranking was no fluke) and can play with the best of them (Texas ranking of number 1 was no fluke). Hats off to them and Texas for a great game...perhaps one of the greatest College game I have every watched myself. (Someone reminded me of the Oklahoma and Boise State game which was incredible too).
GUNS UP!!!!!!
