Senior Night, Oh what a night!!

Oklahoma's bid to win the South division will be tested when they host Texas Tech this weekend.  The Sooners will also bid farewell to a distinguished group of seniors that include among others: Adrian Taylor, Jeremy Beal, Erik Mensik, Quinton Carter, Jonathan Nelson, Mossis Madu and DeMarco Murray.  This might also be the last home game for Travis Lewis; the junior linebacker might declare for the draft at season's end.

Last November, OU was on the receiving end of a 41-13 mauling , which was supposedly payback for the 65-21 thrashing that Tech received the previous season (coincidentally on Senior Night too).  Both games featured a little soundtrack - House of Pain's Jump Around - as each team rubbed some salt onto the other's wounds.  No offense to Tech, but OU's was better.

Texas Tech is coming off an impressive win over Mizzou; who in the last couple of weeks have resembled nothing of the team that beat Oklahoma.  The Red Raiders were torched by Ryan Tannehill (449 yards passing) in a loss to the Aggies, but bounced back to hold Blaine Gabbert to only 95 yards passing.


Even though Tech is riding a wave of momentum going into this match, Oklahoma should be able to extend their home game winning streak.  They play very well at home and the crowd will definitely be a factor.  The only twist here might the be QB shuffle that Tech might use; but expect OU to adjust accordingly and give their senior class a fitting send off.  Enjoy your football weekend.
