'Inefficiency' by Tech hinders play

Oklahoma beat Texas Tech on Saturday 45-7.
Oklahoma running back Roy Finch gets away from a tackle by 'xenas Tech's Franklin Mitchet and takes the ball in for a touchdown in the first quarter in Saturday's game.
No. 16 Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2 in Big 12 Conference play) capped off its opening drive with a pass from Landry Jones to tailback Demarco Murray, the school's all-time leader in touchdowns, to take a 7-0 lead at the 12:27 mark in the first quarter.
During that opening drive, Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles made his 223rd reception, giving the Norman, Okla., native sole possession of first place on the Sooners all-time receptions list. Broyles would later make his 91st catch of the season, breaking his own single-season reception record, which he set last year.
The Red Raiders took some chances early on in order to establish the offense. Tech quarterback Taylor Potts completed his first pass of the afternoon to receiver Austin Zouzalik, who turned a short route into a 35-yard gain, providing Tech's offense with 1-and-10 at the Oklahoma 29-yard line.
By game's end, Broyles had either broken or tied five school records. But there was still a game to be played. Tech (5-5, 3-5), although not indicated with the final score, made things interesting in the early going.
Four plays later, Tech receiver Detron Lewis lined up where Potts is used to being. Lewis received the snap and darted to the right, but pulled up to throw a 3-yard pass to an open Darrin Moore.
With just less than 10 minutes remaining in the first quarter, Lewis' aforementioned pass would be Tech's first and only points of the game.
After a Jimmy Stevens field goal gave the Sooners a 10-7 lead in the first quarter, the Red Raiders were presented with the opportunity to either tie things up or take the lead.
But three plays for one yard, the result of Tech's second drive, is not going to get the job done. Tech running back Baron Batch said the team's inability to put more points on the board is simply a product of inefficiency.
It's safe to say the Sooners didn't lack efficiency.
At the end of the opening period, Oklahoma was up 24-7. Entering halftime, the Sooners owned a 35-7 advantage. At the half, Jones had completed 17-of-23 passes for 276 yards and four touchdowns.
Against Missouri, the Red Raider defense
limited Tigers quarterback Blaine Gabbert to 95 yards passing - in the entire game.
The key to Oklahoma's production was the blocking performance provided by the offensive line, said Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops.
Oklahoma's final score of the game occurred in the middle of the third quarter, when Jones completed an 8-yard pass to Broyles for the score. Broyles finished the game with six receptions for 110 yards and two scores.
The victory extends Oklahoma's nation-leading home winning streak, which now stands at 36 games. The Sooners are now 72-2 within the confines of the Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium during the Bob Stoops era.
Although Tech was riding high following last week's upset of Missouri, a team that defeated Oklahoma earlier this season, players and coaches said throughout the week they expected to see the Sooners put together a strong performance in hopes of rebounding from a loss at Texas A&M.
So it looks like they got exactly what they expected.
"On both sides of the ball, I did a poor job of preparing after a big win last week," Tuberville said. "(We knew) we were going to get the best shot out of Oklahoma – and we did."

However, the company's founders still aren't convinced their product is unsafe for consumers.
Four Loko is sold in a 25.5 ounce can, has an alcohol content of 12 percent by volume and contains 135 milligrams of caffeine. That's the same amount of alcohol in four to five beers and the caffeine content of a Red Bull and an espresso shot.

"If it were unsafe, popular drinks like rum and colas or Irish coffees that have been consumed safely and responsibly for years would face the same scrutiny that our products have recently faced," the founders said in a statement on their website.
HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY
The company's statement said if Four Loko was unsafe, the Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the federal bureau that approves alcoholic beverages, should not have approved the products.
Health officials have raised concerns about mixing caffeine and alcohol. Jenny M McKee, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that mixing the two can lead to problems.
Nationally, Four Loko isn't the only drink causing worry.
The FDA has been examining these products since November 2009 and concluded that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive."
Alcohol slows down bodily functions like heart rate and breathing while caffeine increases heart rate and alertness. The combination could potentially be heart stopping. McKee said.
The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it was warning four companies that produce caffeinated, alcoholic beverages that their products are unsafe.
Caffeine is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. The two have opposite effects.

alcohol content of the students ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent. According to blood-alcoholcontent.org, a BAC level of 0.40 can be lethal for more than half of adults.
Following these incidents, several states made moves to ban the drink. Lawmakers in New York City and Pennsylvania started asking liquor stores to remove Four Loko from their shelves. The beverage has been officially banned in four states: Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma.
Freda Warfield, a spokesperson for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said the state had been monitoring Four Loko closely.

"We will take any actions necessary to keep our Kansas safe," Warfield said.
However, in order to ban the drink in Kansas, legislation would need to be passed. The Kansas Legislature reconvenes January 11.
McKee said the drinks could pose health risks even if they do not contain caffeine. She said that some people still might not understand how much alcohol the drinks have, especially Four Loko.
Mike Hathaway, manager of Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., said he expects a spike in sales as a result of Four Loko going decaf.
REACTION
Brad Wandell, a junior from Ellicott City, Md., said he's surprised by the controversy. He said he has been drinking Four Loko for about six months, but never had any problems with the caf-

"But it's only a matter of time before another product will replace it," he said.
