The Texas Tech Red Raiders have one more test to pass--albeit a huge one--in order to officially sway the college football world that they indeed are worthy of being big boys in the BCS national championship picture. Mike Leach' squad will storm into Norman on Saturday night to take on a Bob Stoops Oklahoma team that is just salivating at the thought of shaking up the BCS standings.
There's no question that the numbers are filthy. The Red Raiders lead the nation in passing (433.7 ypg), are second in total offense (566.3 ypg), and third in scoring (47.9 ppg). However, while Graham Harrell leads the nation with 4,077 passing yards, counterpart Sam Bradford leads the country with 38 touchdown passes and is directing the highest-scoring team in college football (51.4 ppg).
Memo to Browns GM Phil Savage: use spell check next time. Word catches those damn expletives.
Running back Edgerrin James has asked the Arizona Cardinals for his release, as the veteran has been relegated to backup much of the season behind rookie Tim Hightower. Cardinals GM Rod Graves has declined, of course, knowing full well that having two capable running backs is always better than one. James' request really bothers me, as his team is having a fantastic season--finally!--and he is actually contributing to a winning team again. Can you just play out the season Edge and worry about playing time next year?
