NCAA Game Summary - Texas Tech at Oklahoma
Norman, OK (Sports Network) - Sam Bradford threw four touchdown passes, and fifth-ranked Oklahoma rose to the occasion to keep their national championship hopes alive, while dashing Texas Tech's title aspirations with a 65-21 blowout of the Red Raiders.
Chris Brown ran for three scores, and DeMarco Murray had a pair of touchdown runs as the Sooners (10-1, 6-1 Big 12) moved into a three-way tie with Texas Tech and Texas atop the Big 12 South Standings.
Bradford continues to be one of the front-runners for the Heisman Trophy, but the bigger issue is where Oklahoma will be placed when the new Bowl Championship Series standings are released Sunday. The Sooners went into the game fifth in the BCS, behind Alabama, the Red Raiders, Texas and Florida. Oklahoma's lone loss this season came to Texas, 45-35, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
The Red Raiders (10-1, 6-1) came into the game ranked third in scoring offense in the nation at 47.9 points a contest, but Oklahoma's defense bottled up Graham Harrell early on while building a 42-7 halftime cushion.
Harrell threw for three scores but the Red Raiders, who came in riding the nation's longest winning streak at 12 games, were no match for the high- powered Sooners.
Texas Tech hosts Baylor next Saturday. Assuming the Red Raiders win that game, they would have to wait for the outcome of the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game that night. An OSU win against OU would hand the Red Raiders the South title.
A win in this game would have given the Red Raiders their first Big 12 South Division title since the inception of the league in 1996. It was a similar setting in 2002. Texas Tech entered that season's game at OU with a shot at winning the division, but suffered a 60-15 setback.
Missouri has already won the Big 12 North division and has clinched a spot in the December 6 conference title game.
The Sooners blasted their way to a 42-7 lead at the half and kept rolling in the final 30 minutes as they notched their 24th straight home victory, one shy of the team record, that was snapped in 1953.
