LUBBOCK, Texas — Did Texas Tech’s Taurean Henderson score or didn’t he? Oklahoma defensive lineman Dusty Dvoracek and referee Randy Christal were having that very discussion at Jones SBC Stadium Saturday afternoon.

Neither one knew for sure.

“Asked the ref and he said, ‘What did you see?’” Dvoracek said. “I go, ‘I don’t know.’”

But side judge Scott Koch thought Henderson scored, and the replay official didn’t see enough to say he was wrong. Because of it the Red Raiders ran off the field celebrating a 23-21 victory over the Sooners.

OU coach Bob Stoops refused to get involved in the debate.

“I didn’t see it and I’m not going to sit here and criticize,” he said. “We have a system in place and you hope that it works and it makes the calls that are correct. You have to assume that was done and for me to sit here without seeing anything, and even if I have, we will not use that as an excuse.”

It was a strange end to a strange game. Three plays in the final minute were reviewed and OU appeared to have the game in hand only a minute earlier.

Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 108 yards, scored on a 13-yard run to give the Sooners a 21-17 lead with 93 seconds remaining.

“We needed it,” Peterson said. “We told ourselves to go out there and relax and play OU football and move the ball down the field. We did that, but things didn’t work out for us in the end.”

No, they didn’t.

Texas Tech, which improved to 9-2 and 6-2 in the Big 12 Conference, marched right back down the field, picking up a pair of questionable calls along the way.

OU appeared to halt the Red Raiders with 30 seconds to play when Danny Amendola and Sooner safety Darien Williams simultaneously brought down a fourth-and-3 pass that had tipped at the line of scrimmage. The catch was awarded to Amendola at the Sooner 26 after a generous spot that gave Tech its game-saving first down.

Five plays later Henderson capped a 109-yard rushing performance with the final 2 yards as time ran out.

The Sooners, who fell to 6-4 and 5-2, had their four-game winning streak snapped and their chances of going to the Cotton Bowl likely dashed.

“It was tough,” OU quarterback Rhett Bomar said. “Nobody knows who is right and who is wrong, so it was tough. But our defense played their hearts out, But it was just not enough.”
