Game of the Year?

Texas vs. Texas Tech may have been the game of the year. I had to work Saturday night, but I got to see the last five minutes of the game. Well, it turned out that I got home just in time. Texas got the ball down by 6 with those 5 minutes left. Heisman hopeful Colt McCoy orchestrated a drive down the field that led to a touchdown with 1:26 left in the game. Now down one, it was Texas Tech's time to see if they could upset the #1 Texas Longhorns. Heisman hopeful Graham Harrell led his team down the field thinking field goal to win the game. At the Texas 3o, Harrell through a checkdown pass that slipped through the receiver's hands and glided in the air. A Texas defensive back was there for the interception, but let it slip through the wickets! It should have been game over. The next play, Harrell throws to the back shoulder of outstanding wideout Michael Crabtree and Crabtree broke a tackle at the three yard line and walks into the endzone with one second left. It was simply amazing. One of the best endings I've even seen. Might be the most memorable finish since the Boise State miracle a couple years ago. Wow, was it a good ending.
