Actually, I believe LA Tech will match up with TX Tech very well. Better than most people think. TX Tech is very weak on defense, and we have a well balanced offense that should be able to sustain long drives and keep the ball away from TX Tech's hot hand offense.
But our DEFENSE is where LA Tech will have to win this game. Our defense has gotta get sacks, force TX Tech into committing penalties, force some turnovers and essentially just keep TX Tech in "3rd and long" situations. We've gotta keep their back to the wall.
Yes, TX Tech's offense is powerful, but it also makes a lot of mistakes. Our defense must capitalize on those mistakes. No excuses.
