Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State, 2:30 on FS1: The Battle of The Finger Bangers

[DeadArmadillo 907]

Tech is starting highly touted QB Behren Morton over Donovan Smith. Just announced on the pregame show by the radio crew. Hell of a chance being taken to give a Freshman his first start on the road against a Top Ten team in a hostile environment. But what the hell do I know

[IDIOTsavant 8688]

Pos rep for the thread title. I chortled.

[Sandman 3434]

I saw on twitter that Smith has a shoulder injury. It's twitter, so grain of salt, etc.

[Pancho 46324]

First play of the game and tech takes a timeout.

Christ, we lost to that. 

[tx ind 7057]

can't believe they went for it there

[Pam Cummings 9869]

They have a guy who throws now

[JGrayDBU 376]

will be a great shoot out!

[DeadArmadillo 907]

Kid leads the Red Raiders on a 75 yard TD drive to open the game. He looked pretty good

[Dark Horse 2429]

Damn, what an onside. 

[Pam Cummings 9869]

Big Balls Maguire, fuck what a call

[Homercles 10206]

Once they announced the backup was playing I felt like it’d be a shootout.  My Pokes have a long, nasty history against replacement quarterbacks.  Dude looks like the deal and the announcer is basically losing his shit

[Pam Cummings 9869]

The Big Balls backfired

[Bigbend1812 13059]

That’s a terrible rule.  Can call fair catch on a big bounce ?!? 

[Dark Horse 2429]

So wtf happened there? OSU called for a fair catch? Had to mute this yelling idiot. 

[Bigbend1812 13059]

[ultimaton 2985]

So you can just negate an onside kick by signaling fair catch as the kicking team is catching the ball?

Is that what happened? So you can call fair catch and give the onside kick a 0% chance of working? That's bizarre.

It didn’t bounce.  The announcer is a fucking idiot.

[Vito Andolini 9452]

On the onside kick, the ball must hit the ground or the OSU player can call fair catch, which he did. Had the kicker bounced it off t(e turf, no fair catch in that case.

[Dark Horse 2429]

Damn, I thought it bounced. 

[Bigbend1812 13059]

Dipshit was yelling it was a one bounce kick.  he pooched it.  you can fair catch that.

Makes more sense, in that case its a heads up play by the receiving team

[Hozz 1035]

I had no idea that was a rule.  What an incredibly well coached unit and a head's up play from the Ok St guy.

[Vito Andolini 9452]

Yes, very head’s up play by the Cowboy player

['stache 22144]

How do you coach that situation? Nice play for our special teams.

Ugh so true. A few years ago I think Baylor beat us with a WR playing as the 4th string QB.

[Dnaguy 12632]

That was offensive pi 

On the long pass. Big12 refs are just completely dogshit

Tech WR pushed off on his TD. Looks like they're gonna let both teams play.

[Godzillatron 295]

Refs give Tech 6.

[Bigbend1812 13059]

Morton looks pretty damn good.

[LTtxfan 50006]

17-14 end of 1st qtr,    okie lite leads

[Neonmoon 38130]

Do announcers even watch football? OSU subbed late and so Tech was given a chance to sub. Tech isn’t required to hustle. We did the same thing to Alabama twice. Don’t want a flag? Don’t sub late on offense 

[DeadArmadillo 907]

Good ball game.

[JGrayDBU 376]

becoming a great game.  I am still amazed some teams can go that quick to the next play.  

[JGrayDBU 376]

Tech qB can run too?  This team...wow.

[Topper13 3640]

Hard to tell who's who with these unis

[Dnaguy 12632]

The announcer got me…

[LTtxfan 50006]

Tech hangin' in there... lead 24-20

[JGrayDBU 376]

Tech QB leg injury already impacting calls.  OSU probably wins this game.  Raiders hanging in there though.  Should have the lead halfway through the 3rd quarter.  

[Dnaguy 12632]

Never thought I would ever say this but…. Where’s Spencer and Tim Brand….

[DeadArmadillo 907]

First time this season that OSU trails at the half. A turnover and a lucky bounce in their favor and Tech might pull this thing out

[JGrayDBU 376]

Morton(Craig's great-grandson?) is the best backup QB I have seen in a long time, maybe ever...  Imo, we can't say what if about Tech anymore because this guy is twice the QB Card is.   Tech may not win today, but if they lose it won't because of Morton. 

[Auto Driller 2566]

I was as furious as everyone else when we lost in Lubbock. But this TT team is pretty decent.

[cabowabo 4691]

Should I be rooting for Tech?  Because I am.  

[Auto Driller 2566]

Spencer sanders has the Casey Thompson syndrome. Rolls out all the way to the sideline and takes a sack rather than throwing it away.

[Kwix 2497]

Fair catch on the 4?!?

[Homercles 10206]

Feeling like a loss here.  Was worried about this one.  Oh well not over yet 

[Hagbard Celine 11256]

gundy gambling here going for 2

and he wins the bet

[Aslan24 470]

Tech has run 6 plays for -1 yards with a punt and an interception since this tweet.

Out of commercial break....

....Thicc girls swaying to Garth....extra thicc w/ some extra hangers.

Dayum.

Also looking like Tech has run out of gas.
