Alas a reunion of the two teams that had the best Big 12 game last yr. The longhorns look to avenge their heartbreaking lose to the red raider. The matchup although leaves something to be desired in name power alone. Texas Tech with no Graham or Trabtree (crabtree) for those who dont know deions nickname of crabtree. Anywho Texas comes in #2 in the nation looking to let bevo mark his territory. The game last yr was no fluke with the Raiders out rushing the horns (105 yds to 80 for texas). The offense also out gained the horns by over 200 yards. Tech deserved the win due to the utter whippin they put on the horns all game long on both sides of the ball. Techs win last year was no fluke a rarity but no fluke. This year the Horns are huge favs on the over but just a second says tech. Tech lost few starters from last years team, in turn meaning Texas had better not just stroll into this game as they did last week vs. Wyoming. McCoy looked shaky in the first half, floating passes early in drives eliminating a consistency in the passing game. McCoy came out in the second half with a different agenda. Making sure his passes were on target and using his athleticism to evade the rush from Wyoming. Look for Tech to be jacked up about the game and looking for an upset. Upset is highly unlikely but do not be suprised if you see Tech come out "guns ablaze" hehe as they try and knock of a huge Big 12 foe. Texas will have to get it started early to try and break the spirits of the young QB for Tech. the worst possible thing that can happen is the youngster get in a rhythm early and shred the Horns shaky at times secondary. Orakpo is dearly missed at DE this year.
Horns Keys 2 Success: Establish Run Early, Get Shipley involved in passing game, cover 2 on D.
Techs Keys 2 Success: 10-15 yd underneath routes, no points given up off special teams, no turnovers, contain McCoy in pocket, establish pressure up middle on McCoy.
Looks to be a barn burner one way or the other. Horns looking for rout Tech looking to upset.
See: Houston Cougars vs #5 OK State Cowboys. upset galore.
