The best big 12 game ever! It even tops when Vince Young ran into the end zone against USC. Texas played horrible against a shockingly good Texas Tech Defense and Offensive Line in the first half. I had heard rumors they were good, but with Mike Leach that usually means mediocre. Not this time. It seemed Graham Harrell had all day to throw and hooked up with nine different receivers!

Texas started playing better and getting their rhythm in the second half. Jordan Shipley had a 45 yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter. Colt McCoy connected with Malcolm Williams, a freshman, for a 91 yard reception in the fourth quarter. This started turning the momentum for Texas a bit.

On the Longhorns last play of the game Colt drove up the field and then Vondrell ran the ball in for the touchdown with 1:29 left on the clock. Enough time to score? Plenty, as Tech drove up the field as quick as I’ve ever seen a team do. Tech’s only mistake was a bobbled pass for a near interception. On the play right after that Harrell throw a pass over the cornerback’s head right to Michael Crabtree who broke a tackle on the edge of the sideline and ran the dagger through the Longhorns heart. With one second to go the riley Tech crowd rushed the field only to give their team two penalties. Tech kicked off from their own 7 1/2 yard line but Texas couldn’t run it back and history was made. This is the first time Texas Tech has beaten a number one team.
