Lubbock, TX - Graham Harrell completed 47-of-72 passes for 420 yards with two touchdowns and also ran for one score, as Texas Tech upset third-ranked Oklahoma, 34-27, at Jones AT&T Stadium, likely spoiling the Sooners' opportunity for a possible shot at the national title.
Michael Crabtree caught 12 passes for 154 yards and one score for Texas Tech (8-4, 4-4 Big 12), which closed out the regular season by winning two of three. Aaron Crawford had 81 yards receiving and 47 yards on the ground with one score. Danny Amendola had nine receptions for 81 yards and Eric Morris added 56 yards receiving and one touchdown.
Joey Halzle finished the game 21-of-41 passing for 291 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for the Sooners (9-2, 5-2), who had their five-game winning streak broken. Starting quarterback Sam Bradford left the game in the first quarter with a concussion after making a tackle on a fumble recovery. DeMarco Murray had 94 yards on 19 carries, and Manuel Johnson had 96 yards receiving along with two touchdowns. Juaquin Iglesias caught seven passes for 73 yards.
Oklahoma entered the game ranked fourth in the BCS, right behind Big 12 rival Kansas. The Sooners need a win next week over Oklahoma State to clinch the South Division in the Big 12 to secure a spot in the conference championship game.
