Texas Tech's big-money roster comes up small vs. Oregon in Orange Bowl Texas Tech spoke all week about playing on the big stage, about the college football world getting to see what has been built in the West Texas town. They had a chance to continue reeling in the Big Ten and SEC (both looking vulnerable this postseason), and make a statement for the Big 12 and ACC. Then ran into a motivated defensive buzzsaw against Oregon.

It would be an interesting study to attempt to determine when degradation begins. I'm guessing you're right and that it's about 14 days. After that, I think it starts working against a team.

50 years ago to the day I was at The Orange Bowl 1976. A mere child was I. Rooted for OU to beat Michigan 14-6 to win The National Title. Wasn't there today. But will be there January 19th for a UO National Title. First Atlanta GO DUCKS!

Tosh, By Gosh! Brother Mike West, if you're right for the wrong reason, you're still right! 😁And, OBD did control the clock, and then some. Atlanta - We're coming to your City! 👍👌❤️😍

we held them to ZIP!!!!!

Just the 3rd Oregon defensive shutout in the last 13 years. So unbelievably impressive. And what makes this all the more amzing to me is that it comes on the heels of giving up 500+ yards to JMU.

TT fans in chat rooms were all hanging their hat on the JMU game score. All puuffed up about how good their offense is compared to the High School we let score at will….lol I love that we blew up that narrative.

This is my favorite win EVER!!!!! Until next week

Both defenses played pretty well, OBD's offense was too much for TT. Loved the fake punt call. Too bad the Ducks could seem to find the end zone. Credit to the TT D.

Our offense has got to figure some things out before we play our next game. 1 offensive TD on a short 5 yard field, is not going to cut it next time. But holy crap... our defense has just been insane today. Nobody in their right mind predicted that our defense would hold the high octane TT offense to 0 points.

I LOVE Grey Pants! I am stunned at how the defense played....never saw that coming. But I am disappointed that we did not throw the ball to the wide receivers more...but I gotta count my blessings.

Personal thoughts: DL and Tosh really didn’t like how the JMU game ended and laid into the defense for it. Will Stein took his turn in being distracted by his new job. Focus on your current one first!

Well the Tech DL destroyed my narrative...but their WRs played exactly how I thought they would. The playoff format helped OBD today. But the defense stepped up. Another scenario when one unit bailed out the other. On to the next one.

Takeaways from Oregon's thrilling victory over Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl The Oregon Ducks went into the Orange Bowl and played one of its best games of the season by beating Texas Tech to advance to the College Football Playoff Semifinals. Here are the main takeaways from Thursday's win.

Discuss post game thoughts here!

26 days off is definitely a factor. 2 weeks would be the sweet spot.

The defense provided a slew of golden opportunities for the offense to score which they capitalized on very few of them. That can’t happen in the next round. Will Stein needs to figure something out very soon.

Can we buy back Lupoi? Lol

I like our chances from here on out.

So true. And yet, somehow, here we are... 23-0 -- against a team that supposedly had one of the best offenses in the nation. Amazing. Our defense was beyond nails. What a wild and rather bizarre switch between our offense and defense between this game and the JMU game.

I did. But I missed the deadline for submission. 😂😂😂. Just kidding.
