Arguably today's biggest Saturday college football game will be the Big 12 matchup featuring the Texas Tech Red Raiders against the Oklahoma Sooners. The undefeated Red Raiders travel to Oklahoma to face Bob Stoops' 15th ranked team. This year has a different feel than past seasons as the Red Raiders are the 10th ranked team in the nation and with a win today, could find themselves in national title consideration. Game time is set for 3:30pm ET as the game will be broadcast on TV on Fox.  First year head coach Kliff Kingsbury has the Red Raiders playing better than most expected, but can he upset the Sooners dynamic pass defense?

This game is going to be fun to watch. Texas Tech's high powered passing attack may finally meet its match going up against the Sooners pass defense that leads the nation giving up an average of just 150 yards passing a game. Overall, the Sooners come into Saturday's game with the ninth ranked defense in the country.

Texas Tech has not one, but two legitimate quarterbacks who can beat the Sooners. Freshman quarterback Davis Webb burst onto the scene this season when Baker Mayfield went down with an injury and he has turned the Red Raiders into a two-quarterback offense. Mayfield, also a freshman, led the Red Raiders to a 5-0 record before sitting down with an injury.  Webb came in and passed for over 400 yards in the last two games. So which quarterback will start?

According to College Football Talk, Kingsbury has not been giving an answer on which quarterback will get the starting nod.  To be honest, Kingsbury really can't go wrong with either quarterback.

At the opening OddsShark had Oklahoma as seven point favorites. However, I am going to go with Texas Tech in the upset, if you can call it that. The game will be airing on Fox starting at 3:30pm ET. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a live stream available for fans to watch online.
