(9) Oklahoma State @ (2) Texas Tech

Alright guys, here is just a quick bit about the Ok St. @ T-Tech game that could possibly decide which team has an opportunity at the national championship. In case you didn't know, both teams are top 10 in the nation in total offensive yards and points per game. However, Ok St. has an unbelievable rush offense (Kendall Hunter/1200 yds. 11 TD) while TTech has the second best pass offense in the nation. It is most likely easier for TTech to adjust to stop the prolific rush offense of Ok St. (who averages over 270 yds. per game) then for Ok St. to stop the aerial attack of TTech who averages over 420 yards per game. Given this, I don’t think that Ok St. will be able to stop Graham Harrell, Michael Crabtree, and the Red Raiders.

Rodgers’ Pick: Texas Tech 34 Oklahoma State 27


Unlike Rodgers on this one, I am willing to admit that I am 100% on Texas Techs Offense’s nuts. The only thing that I am going to tell you about Ok St. is that the only solid team they have beaten to get to their beloved #9 spot in the questionable BCS standings was Chase Daniel and the Mizzou Tigers. The only other ranked team that they have played was the previously #1 Texas and lost. Remember last week the team that beat those Longhorns, THE TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS. Now I am going to force feed you my opinion of how TTU is one of the top 3 most explosive offenses in all of college football. Graham Harrell has proven that he can pass for 400 yards against any defensive unit. Texas has an elite defense, and when put to the challenge, Harrell threw for 474 yards and 2 touchdowns. One of those touchdowns coming with 8 seconds left to win it. Michael Crabtree, the freak of nature who caught that touchdown, is an all out playmaker. I would say that this sophomore’s performance would be a factor in this game, but honestly, who can stop him.

Mission Statement

Welcome to Down 'N Dirty Sports. This site will consist purely of the sports that matter [to me] in these United States, with probably some sort of coverage of the Olympics etc.

The reason I started this blog is to hopefully make a name for myself; however, I am willing to take an improvement of my writing skills and web design talent as well.

I am a Mass Communications major and Electronic Media and Film minor in college and it was also recommended by my journalism professor that I start a blog. She encouraged that it would be a good way to hopefully get my name out there to someone and develop a following along the way. Due to the always evolving state of media, it definitely can't hurt to start a blog when some people are able to get their big break due to a blog. Newspapers are currently headed in a downward trend, so getting experience in other forms of media could prove to be extremely beneficial.

Please be aware:

  • I have other people that will also be writing posts on the site; however, I am the Editor in Chief and assume responsibility for everything that is posted. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
  • There will not necessarily be a post everyday and I will not guarantee any amount of posts per week due to possible extenuating circumstances. I will guarantee that myself and the other writers will do our best to post as often as possible.
  • There will be weekly segments done by myself and other writers.
  • There will be opinion posts, but when necessary we will try to be unbiased.
  • We will try to keep this site as appropriate for young readers as possible, but don't assume anything.
  • The photos that we use on our site are taken from ESPN.com. We have yet to encounter an issue using their photos and appreciate it. Some of the photos will be taken directly by us, but that will be on the rare occasion that we are able to attend an event that we write about.
Please note:
  • We greatly appreciate our followers/readers/fans and encourage you to spread the word about us to help us out.
  • We encourage commenting on posts and speaking your mind just as we may be doing as well. We always welcome constructive criticism.

Thanks,

The Down 'N Dirty Guys
