By the end of the night, after four hours and 10 minutes, after 125 points and nearly a mile in total yards, no one was sure how to react. Not Oklahoma, which won the game. Or Texas Tech, which saw its star quarterback account for more yards than any FBS player ever has in defeat. Or even the game's narrator, who tried to process what had just taken place.
"It was like an NBA All-Star Game where you just knew that they were going to score. There weren't going to be any stops, and it was just kind of a matter of who's gonna have the ball last," says Joe Davis, who called the game for Fox.
