OU vs. Texas Tech: Where Do the Advantages Lie?

Saturday’s OU vs. Texas Tech game shapes up as an offensive shootout, but it is the defensive play that most likely will determine the outcome of this game.

The Sooners are ranked 17th in this week’s Associated Press poll (15 in the Amway Coaches Poll) and are coming off of one of the most lopsided wins, a 55-0 beatdown over Kansas State, in Bob Stoops’ 17 seasons at Oklahoma.

Texas Tech is 5-2 and unranked, but had a relatively tough time putting away hapless Kansas, edging out the Jayhawks by a 10-point margin, 30-20, on the road last Saturday.
