In a game that gave an entire half of promise, then ripped it away like the fleeting of breath from an injured lung, Texas Tech had its hands full against a rally from Oklahoma.
Kyler Murray was every bit an athlete as we expected him to be, but the real kink in the armor for Texas Tech came in the form of injuries. After a superb first half, Alan Bowman experienced a flare up of his previously collapsed lung and had to leave the remainder of the game. The vocal captain of the defense, Dakota Allen, was also dealing with a broken hand and picked up a supposed injury to his knee that took him out.
