Apply median to the pts at home and allowed.Quote:

I would like to see Coach Holtz do the stanky leg one time against someone... did we have a player a few years ago they was nicknamed "big snack"?

Kliff on the Louisiana Tech football team, "They play hard, they are well coached and they won't make many mistakes"

Interesting. According to the people on the Texas Tech board, the TT RB's only gained 29 yards all night.Quote:

Thanks, but the run game is actually a big part of the offense. DeAndre Washington had almost 1,500 yards last year. The problem is that Kingsbury and Mahomes were pressing because of the atrocious defense, and just abandoned the run.
ASU is a good team, but don't expect big things from Ballage (ASU QB) just because this game. Tech constantly made RB's look like superstars last year and it has continued into this year :-(.
That was hilarious. Kingsbury was doing the "stanky leg" at the end. :laugh:Quote:

Call me crazy but I think we win this one. TT will throw alot of short passes and we defended those really well against Arkansas. And I don't see how they can stop our offense. We just need to play mistake free and I think we walk away with a W
sometimes you lose because the other team is just better. for example, i'm not sure i'd like our chances vs Alabama, although I am confident Arkansas gives them a game this year. a lot of times it comes down to style. texas tech is the kind of team that, once they get on top of you, its an avalanche. I think we will struggle Saturday. but ultimately, I think we win 7 to 8 games and go bowling. given how much we lost off last year, that is good. I like the notion that we are kind of "reloading" this year; vs holtz' first year, which was clearly rebuilding and changing philosophies.

We have a 5th year Sr at QB. We have RBs replacing Dixon who had plenty of experience. We had DBs with plenty of experience. Yes, we had to go get some LBs, but we were not actually replacing much in that area anyway.
......and one could argue that our OL and DL this year are appreciably better than last years version.Quote:

I felt like we became overly concerned with Kenneth's number of carries and number of TD runs, etc...instead of just being concerned with winning the games.
TTU fans are now talking about this game. It took them awhile to shake off the Arizona State loss.

Updated. Weather.com showing the highest chance of rain. Local tv showing lowest. I wonder if playing in wet condition is an advantage for us. We have practiced and played in it for some time.

I'm curious about that as well. I think it bodes well for us as it brings the score down. I am worried about getting down a touchdown or two and trying to press. If we press we may turn the ball over and that is a disaster. I think weather will keep the score down which will help us out. I don't think we can win a shootout with these guys.Quote:

I will ask one question. Do you think any of them have watched Ryan play? Are they watching film of Smith against Ark and thinking that is Higgins?
Hope this isn't like 2013 Kansas 2014 ODU 2015 K state 2016 arkansas
I'm expecting it to be like 2012 A&M if we play well, or 1990 Houston if we don't. I think they are going to get their 50+ pts, we'll have to outscore them.
Doing a little homework getting ready for the game this week and how to slow down that offense. In their 2 lowest scoring games in 2015 (LSU/WV) you would think that both teams forced a lot of turnovers. Actually they both only got 1 Int vs PM. The common denominator I could find that both teams were able to somewhat control the clock by rushing for over 300 yards. The one thing they both also did on defense(LSU gave up hidden passing yards late) was force Patrick Malhomes to beat them with his legs instead of his arm. I maybe grasping for straws here on how to slow these guys down but this is what I came up with.
I would say that we also cannot turn the ball over when we have it offensively. Defensively it will also be crucial to tackle in space.Quote:

With a number of surprise strikes to Henderson, Taylor, etc to keep them on their heels.:DQuote:

I do agree that we can bleed the play clock to shorten the game. We are a polar opposite of our 2012 team now. We ran less than 60 plays against Ark, right? That looks more like and NFL stat than college. As long as our plays are run well enough that sitting for 20 seconds doesn't completely give away the gameplan before every snap.Quote:

What is Texas Tech wearing? Must be the black.
It is their "white out" game
Here's hoping we get some mis-directed home cooking at opportune times.Quote:

It's also their Celebrate Cotton game which makes sense why TTU wants to wear white.

Yes, uniform decisions are always made well in advance (months at least). TXTech didn't feel the need to give us notice until game week.Quote:

I know you are kidding, but the West Texas Plains are one of the few areas that still grow large quantities of cotton in the US. The City of Lubbock was built around agriculture.Quote:

Oh, and crossing the Sabine river on the way back home!!!!!!!
Our car got hit by a tumbleweed out there one time. Shattered the grill on the front of our suburban.

Louisiana Tech on the other hand does have some good stats, limiting explosive plays, which is something to watch, as well as winning the battle in field position and being terrific in both rushing and passing explosive plays. The Bulldogs keep things in front of them.
Still quite a bit around Dallas, too. Mostly south of Dallas. Saw a lot along I35W and around Ennis to Midlothian.Quote:

Yes it is crazy. Approximately 145,000 acres planted in Louisiana this year. Probably had over 500,000 acres back in the day.Quote:

Well that looked easy.
Wow, that looked easy for the Raiders!
TD Bad Tech
We really are horrible at open field tackles.
This is going to be a long game if the defensive backs don't pull their heads out of their A$$.
Took 'em 5 minutes though ;)Quote:

Rushing 3 is NOT going to work. As mentioned several times, only way to derail TT is to get pressure on the QB.
Way too easy. 3rd & 7 & our safety gives a 20 yd cushion. We better score a bunch and we better sustain some long drives or this could get ugly quickQuote:
