The Night Thread Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State

One down, one got lucky and one to go.

It's been an interesting day. Not a good one for field goals or SEC QBs. Now we get to see some serious football.

We all agree it's a damn close game.

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t. But it could be all one half for one, all second half for the other.
