Why does it seem no one, I mean no one is talking about Texas Tech on the schedule? I read more about Baylor beating us than Tech.
Hmmm... they have beaten us 3 for 3 in the last 3 meetings. They graduated their QB -- like that matters at Tech. Talk about a program that reloads. They have proven the ability to win with any QB and this kid is at least predicted to be the first one to actually throw an NFL pass someday.
Sure Crabtree is gone. But he was a rare commodity in their system. They don't need NFL receivers, they just need a lot of them to spread the field.
Can BO and Carl outscheme the Pirateman? Maybe, but it wasn't really a scheme that kept us in the game last year - just better execution and frankly I don't think Tech exactly had us on the radar.
In Texas it is very hard to convince anyone to care about a North opponent like they do about another Texas school. That Tech O-lineman is not pissed off because NU didn't offer a scholarship, but he's sure got a chip on his shoulder when he plays Texas or A&M.
Anyway, more on Tech when I do a tour of the conference. Any team we play 10 days after traveling to Columbia is not high on the players attention list either.
