" Everyone looked back to the Scott show here on foxsports.com. And Christian -- joined by Scott Kennedy director got a for got dot com. Tak -- At Oklahoma big into the weekend outside artists -- I can't wait I mean that's what you predicted a meaningless season right -- is that the red Raiders and Oklahoma I don't know Donna BCS champ and I thought you I remember right. But he should mention the big game of the week like that taking place in Norman we're national champs should bid remains on the line. Six months ago many predicted Oklahoma will be the team in contention but as -- Tech tech has the chance to continue their march to Miami. But I love it football -- fish of greater power -- Red Raiders come in with the undefeated record and a win over taxes but are underdogs in the game is being years as a motivational tool for coach Leach."
" I would say that'd definitely be used as a motivational tool but not be expensive there some other coaches would legions."
" Kind of his Italian deli and you get kind of -- opponents as they come and I'm sure some of the players heard about this might be a little bit of -- players."
" It's not bulletin board material they're not really big on all that stuff up development."
" Well Mitchell both teams coming with offenses an understatement of the year have X are explosive are we going to see under point total on this game."
" I don't think so guys I think should both tax ski trip to Oklahoma contrition governmental lovely -- we're both. I'm pretty good game players I think -- got the opportunity to what checked by a week to really sit down watch until I think it would be a little more low scoring. When making ninety but I don't think -- hundred."
" May be a low scoring ninety carry that -- there's a lot of talk about Mike -- being a candidate can -- and of jobs across country and high profile program and a C Washington Clinton is it possible distractions of the team."
" Absolutely not and a pocket utterly ridiculous for anyone who knows Mike Leach noted contract negotiations on the furthest thing from his mind. I heard several people love -- take water make -- say I'm not going to it will quite frankly the -- have to make money. -- hurt -- bargaining position we're going to renegotiate his contract attack after this year people also don't realize that they can hit eight years to put together what he's got your Lubbock and he is trying to. Including going to be a one year foods you may not win eleven or twelve game every year but he's got talent. -- really take fifteen to the next level in eleventh now and there's no reason for in the league somewhere else trying to do that again."
" Elements on you -- predictions but I'm going to ask anyway so what are things can happen in this game."
" I think it's going to be a little surprising I think Brett venables and -- we'll have both -- have their work cut out for I think they're both going to do little bit different things you can never count on a popular. Coached team. And especially with Brent venables has really been very valuable defensive coordinator for the little experience."
" Idiot the -- called big game Bob but there's nobody better had a big game in the big twelve conference and especially big twelve South Boston thank you to read -- Glendon Rusch. -- played the last month keep the football don't turn over play solid defense and thought well I think it would. Good are we going to the fourth quarter made his field goal with the fact that."
" I think Mitchell's biggest game in Texas Tech history but again what coach likely to what he has say about dormant in the Norman."
" They've always had a great tradition of office so almost always been known for offense. The the opinion -- we shared with Oklahoma was. You know they ran the wishbone which had to do with putting and everybody's hands every position touched the ball. You know philosophy that I -- and and and so. You know I thought that I Colorado Oklahoma it was just interesting that that was you know the setting for. For my opportunity to throw the ball since we've borrowed. So much from the -- Bos -- of natural skill position to touch the ball mix of defenses accountable for all the skill players. Oklahoma's Clinton and both. Scenarios are good sideline to sideline they're probably a little better but we're better -- field. So you know and all case that was kind of the same philosophy -- one Mosul room and one was. Or past. Oh. But they had not surprising a -- started there because they do have a tradition of great offensive flow."
" Are we -- and I look at the Oklahoma Perspective from Greg powers from an illustrated dot com Greg. We double teams can line up scoring with their passing game but to the sooners have the advantage they can run the ball more effectively."
" I I think it is it's offensively there's no damage I think it. Even other red Raiders don't run bulge spectacle that -- actually the sooners do. They get a little bit more things with their running backs doubt that he'll get the ball that you watch or at the screenplay. That sort thing with what -- basically -- sister -- Talking. Offensively across the board I think it's dead even today even eaten that --"
" Greg Oklahoma depends how other issues with injuries leading the struggles especially at the linebacker position. They have enough to get opportunity give them a chance to win this game."
" They kept up a lot of situation whoever has the ball last spot with a lot of surprising angry about he'd get that they actually lead the big twelve and -- deep into the statistical category this year any easier -- they've given up some of the things that kind of surprised. So I think that they have what it takes to be able to get done that slowed -- down on the definitely happy aptly to do that it's just a matter of -- if Texas Tech. -- their game they're almost impossible to stop."
" I know couple years ago but the fact that Mike Leach was on the staff at Oklahoma under coach you've played any factor in the game."
" I don't think -- like -- I think it's it's. It did not play a factor all this is that is right at the coaches did a year a little bit more familiar with what -- wage like to be offensively. But Armey Texas Tech doesn't. That the perception out there -- the -- is technically -- bank withdraw it early they run you know. Not -- ability -- plate it's right different variations all those that like they're not doing any thing it. College -- a lot of coaches of ops -- just Akhtar at deep into. Staff stats are so I think despite being I think that who either so activity they do those things well."
" Greg I think both teams know what to -- care do you have a prediction for this game on Saturday."
" I'm really excited about that game I actually can't wait to watch it I think that led most of the the agent deal I think it's going to be one of those instant classic by. And I think it's going to come down to the last especially. I want to state 4238. You say Bradford sat down like -- given the way."
" I think Greg -- it out Oklahoma here for coach -- about the huge tilt on Saturday."
" Excited about it to be in the game we finally and off -- the off we -- we got some extra work done. Last weekend in preparing for the big game as -- attack but. Ports in the game we now really excited about the challenge of it it is a big challenge -- everyone knows is an excellent football team on Mike and his staff have done a fabulous job. You know and all parts of the game not Tuesday courts -- gets an erect Dick mission Indians should mr. defenses are we playing well and got. -- a lot of good players earlier across the board in all parts of the games so. Again just. Challenge for us here at home -- to come out be it our best and I think as a whole team if you were all there of course you have to be excited to be and he would be at this environment in. And at this challenge in front -- so while we just gotta prepare for the weeks to hopefully get our best on Saturday night."
" I got what do you think goes down in Norman on Saturday and I are the red Raiders ready for prime time. You know I think I've changed my mind through this whole thing -- it can -- your on sabbatical cover baseball rainy night talked about Texas going through this. Collar of teams one after the after the other and after the other how are they going to -- a -- and think they could and they didn't. They got tripped up only one on the road to Texas Tech -- Texas second one step away from doing the same thing. But now they're going on the road at Oklahoma so before everything they could do -- like there's no way. But they had an off week that helps prepare for a team like this. And what they did Oklahoma State is just hard to look at this team and say yes I know it's Texas Tech but who's who's beaten them in Oklahoma is going to have a chance or former number one team. Lost a heartbreaker to Texas this is going to be. The next game of the year we've had several already. But as Greg mentioned I think he says he sees that both teams in an advantage between the two teams as far as offensively I want to advantages name's Michael Crabtree yeah. And it to me that right now and I think Texas Tech is playing a little bit better a little bit better on defense. They're seven point underdogs other because I think most the country's film the same way we do you mean like Texas Tech is still there. Really and then you know but it. No way they're playing today absolutely decimated a good Oklahoma State team I think making don't know Oklahoma and come out a winner -- May take one more step towards a BCS title game."
