OSU Proves Legit National Title Threat
Published: 11/12/2011 3:48 PM

Remember in preseason when a lot of Oklahoma media folks didn’t think Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden, the all-Big 12 quarterback last year, didn’t deserve to be the preseason all-league quarterback?
Still feel that way?
Weeden is doing exactly what he did last year, only better, as the Cowboys went to 10-0 with a 66-6 victory at Texas Tech.
O-State is ranked No. 2 in the BCS and continues to post incredible offensive numbers.
Of course, the national media will continue to talk about OSU’s shaky defense.
What folks should remember is that OSU’s offense has been so good that defense isn’t very important in the second half of blowouts. So, some of those yardage stats are very misleading.
The Cowboys are a legitimate national title threat because it has the best and most efficient offense in the country with the nation’s best kicking game.
If OSU can continue to make some stops, like it did all game against Tech, the Cowboys will remain very difficult to beat.

Was it my imagination, or did Tech not have a single offensive score? Not even a point after.

That's a shutout as far as I'm concerned.
CSquare (last year)
That is shut out on one of the top 25 offenses in BCS,and the worst defeat in Tech History!
