Here's who I'm watching:
Sam Bradford

I'm pulling for Tech, but Oklahoma is blowing their DLine off the ball.
I’m pessimistic.

No Harrel?
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

really?
I love the guy. Not helping my case tonight though

too many red flags
including a receiver that is better than him.

I'm trying to get a read on Harrell's arm speed
The out route he just threw to Crabtree lacked the NFL “zip”.

I wonder if he's going to get the "system quarterback" tag.
There hasn’t been a Leach quarterback that succeeded in the NFL yet.

No Idea really
I like his size and throwing motion more then Brennan. But Colt could scramble.

The deflections aren't good though.
Don’t know if his arm slot is too low for someone that tall. But yes, the size is more prototypical.

Thoughts..
Harrel needs to stop standing there and get rid of the ball. You aren’t gonna get an hour to throw against the Sooners.
That said, I am really pulling for Texas Tech. I want Texas Tech and Alabama to both win out so that there will be an indisputable national champion. If Texas Tech loses then there will be a legitimate argument for Florida, USC, Penn St., Texas, Oklahoma, and even to a lesser extent Boise State and Utah to be in the title game. So obviously I want Alabama against Florida next week too.
Crabtree isn’t disappointing, I can’t wait for him to break a big one.

He continues to hold on to the ball for way too long. No countdown timer going on.

I'll make it for you
We’re going to dominate the Deliverance Tide, and go back to the BCS Championship.
Nobody can touch the Gators right now.

Not surprised at all this is already a blowout
I saw that first drive and thought Oklahoma was dominating the line of scrimmage. Tough to stop that.

That's what I don't know about Bradford
Is his success more dependent on having such an amazing offensive line? I mean he has so much time to throw the football each play.

I really do not like Musberger any longer.
He makes all sorts of very hollow statements with profound emphasis. I used to like him quite a bit, but I think he’s lost his edge or something.
I miss Keith Jackson

Harrell doesn't do much of a job of looking off the secondary
In my opinion, the past couple of throws might have been picks in the NFL (but not against Russell… against a good safety).

The way Oklahoma is blowing TT off the ball
I think ~300 rushing yards, 200 by Murray.

that the left side of Oklahoma’s offensive line will be starting in the NFL next year.

Robinson has great quickness for his size
He’s really raw too. I think the right line coach could turn him into something special.

Well you can certainly not evaluate the running backs properly
as they are getting to the line at full speed and have been making it to the linebackers before they even have to make a read.

For me it's that I like to enjoy the process of getting drunk.
Consuming liquor is not fun. Aside from a few rums, and jaeger, and maybe mixing whiskey, I can’t take most hard A. It’ll make me want to puke even if it’s my first drink
