No 3 Sooners Stunned By Unranked Texas Tech In Norman
Seemingly invincible for so long at Owen Field, No. 3 Oklahoma finally proved fallible at home. Seth Doege threw for 441 yards and connected with Alex Torres on three of his four touchdown passes, and Texas Tech snapped the Sooners' 39-game home winning streak with 41-38 victory Saturday night. About 2 hours after Wisconsin (No. 6 BCS, No. 4 AP) lost, a second top-five team went down on the first day of the college football season that really shook the rankings. "I don't know that it has to be all that surprising," coach Bob Stoops said after his third loss in 78 home games at Oklahoma. "The teams we play can come in here and beat us. And sometimes maybe too much is said about it like it can't happen. I told the players that anyone who we'll play the rest of the year will whoop us if we don't play better than we did today. They just flat out beat us." Without some significant dominoes falling in their favor, the Sooners' dreams at winning a national title -- the primary reason All-American receiver Ryan Broyles and linebacker Travis Lewis came back for their senior seasons -- are likely shot.
