The game will come down to which team makes the most mistakes. Both have had ups and downs during the year. OU didn't score down the stretch with Texas and Tech had to go into over time to kill Nebraska (At Lubbock). Played in Austin, Tech would not have done as well against Texas. It is nearing the end of the season, both teams have a lot of experience now and OU has more injured players, so this game will come down to the 4th quarter and the final minutes, perhaps with some plays that are out of the deep corners of the play book.
