Hot 11: Texas Tech

Predictably the Hot 11 from Oklahoma's 66-59 offensive isn't heavy in defensive stalwarts. That said with three offensive stars, who were each in the midst of record-breaking performances, the decision for No. 1 was hotly contested. And although Oklahoma's Benny Hill-esque defensive performance was historically poor there was one player who managed to find his way onto the 11. And offensively, with a handful of players dominating the stat sheet, who worked his way into the 11?

Stats: Three receptions for 47-yards.

Analysis: Lewis may not have had the start to the year that many had expected, or hoped for, but it does seem as though he is beginning to find his role in the offense as a steady receiver willing to make tough catches. A physically imposing receiver Lewis can run through tackles and did so on several occasions Saturday night.

Last Week: N/A

Stats: One solo tackle, two quarterback hurries.

Analysis: This one is sure to be given grief but go back and look at the tape and you'll see that Gallimore was living rent-free in the Texas Tech backfield. Now, the reality is that he should have been higher on this list as he let several would-be key sacks and tackles for loss get away from him. But, again, Patrick Mahomes ran for his life the entire night, it's not Gallimore, or any defensive linemen's, fault that he kept finding gaps down the field.

Last Week: No. 9

Stats: N/A.

Analysis: Not surprisingly Tech threw a lot of looks at Oklahoma and it was Wren who did a great job setting things up for his teammates. Both in blitz calls and his own blocking the center has been a real revelation for Oklahoma - seeming to have taken the job over even now that Jonathan Alvarez seems healthy enough to have returned.

Last Week: N/A

Stats: Four receptions for 77-yards and a 23-yard touchdown.

Analysis: Basquine was a player that caught attention with his crucial touchdown catch at the end of the first half, but his other three catches were of real importance as well - keeping drives going and in a couple of cases making plays after Baker Mayfield had to move around and wait for a receiver to get open. Basquine is slowly but surely becoming among Mayfield's more trusted options.

Last Week: N/A

Stats: N/A.

Analysis: You look at some of Oklahoma's bigger runs, there were a considerable amount of them to the right side of the offensive line. But even when going left Evans was frequently pulling and serving as a lead blocker for the ground game. Add in that he is quickly becoming a top shelf pass protector and it's not hard to figure why he is where he is.

Last Week: N/A

Stats: N/A.

Analysis: When you watch Powers' tape over the past few weeks you're starting to see a guy that is nearly the ideal Bill Bedenbaugh offensive lineman. You certainly expect Powers to be a violent run blocker but even in pass blocking he is violent with his hands and finishes as well as any lineman on the roster. Much like Wren it seems that even the return of Jonathan Alvarez is not effecting his playing time.

Last Week: No. 6

Stats: Two receptions for 45-yards including a 34-yard touchdown.

Analysis: Some guy, on Twitter, said during the game 'fullbacks just shouldn't be able to make that catch' in reference to Flowers' 34-yard touchdown under duress (where defensive pass interference was called). You throw in his lead-blocking and another catch and you've got one of the more dynamic fullbacks at Oklahoma in the Bob Stoops era - an era loaded with such players.

Last Week: N/A

Stats: Nine receptions for 202-yards and two touchdowns (49, 23) and a 15-yard carry.

Analysis: Maybe we're all getting numb to Westbrook doing these amazing things - as he is already the holder of the No. 12 receiving season in school history, with six games left to play. That's right, Ryan Broyles' incredible 2010 season is in real jeopardy with Westbrook needing just 693-yards and six touchdowns to stand alone as the best season in each category in school history.

Last Week: No. 1

Stats: N/A.

Analysis: Go back and check out Flowers' touchdown catch and what the big left tackle is doing on that play - he absolutely embarrassed a helpless Tech defensive lineman. Brown's level of play has been growing as of late and the more he runs into smaller Big 12 defenders it's likely that more of those vicious blocks could show up on tape.

Last Week: No. 5

Stats: 27-36 for 545-yards and seven touchdowns (56, 49, 23, 23, 43, 34, 15), along with two carries for 19-yards.

Analysis: Look at those numbers and try and figure out another week where he wouldn't be No. 1, I'll wait. Mayfield was absolutely outstanding and though it wasn't the big statistical moment look at his scramble or as Carey Murdock would put it 'razzle dazzle' to find Mark Andrews in the first quarter to keep things moving for Oklahoma's offense.

Last Week: No. 3

Stats: 31 carries for 267-yards and two touchdowns (46, 42), four receptions for 114-yards and three touchdowns (56, 43, 15).

Analysis: We've talked about it for weeks but Mixon could make a case as Oklahoma's best receiver - yes, even with Dede Westbrook pushing to break numerous Oklahoma records this year. Need proof? Look at that absurd one-handed catch in the third quarter. What's scarier? It wasn't even his best play. Scarier than that? His best play doesn't even count amongst his stats listed above. His called-back touchdown run when the Red Raiders had him seemingly sealed up was among the better plays in recent years that those outside of the Crimson and Cream will likely forget by this time next week.

Last Week: No. 4
