Texas Tech is legitimate national championship contender IMO.

Tech just had trouble with A & M who gave up over 50 pts to K State...Imo Tech's D is worse than Missouri's D.

Hawks by 14.

I think a key to this game is going to be RB Jake Sharp...he's really starting to get things going and will give Kansas balance on offense, balance Texas Tech doesn't appear to have (or at least Leach doesn't stick with the run game enough)...it's also good to see some other playmaking WR's step up in the Kansas offense...

Statistically, Tech's offense was far more efficient vs A&M than K-State's was. Despite being -2 in turnovers, they cleaned Aggies clock pretty convincingly IMO at 7.1 yards per play. I don't think they had trouble with A&M at all, they were on the wrong end of the luck train in that first half.

Tech clocks Kansas.

This game is real simple. Its gonna be Arena Football. It will come down to whomever has the football last.

KU had trouble stopping OU (mild understatement)...but Tech's offense is quite as diverse. KU's offense just point up just under 500 yards on the best defense IMHO in the Big 12. KU's two losses have come to ranked teams on the road where they have covered both times. They now have a ranked team coming to Lawrence for the first time in a while.

Like MU, Tech tends to have one Saturday where they poop the bed. Will it be Saturday? However this is the best Tech team in years. I thought personally that Tech would be giving points here. But, this line moves to pick 'em by kickoff.

Just curious as to what evidence you have to back this up? I don't know much about TT and I am looking for someone to help me out.

All's I see on the surface is the same old TT....Scores a ton...beats up on shitty opponents but they always lose to bett teams....

Check my gambling rankings thread.

This year's Tech team is statistically stronger on both sides of the ball than the Tech team that went 9-4 last year, particularly their rushing offense and rushing defense.

I don't think Kansas is really that good of a team at all, but I think they win this game. Texas Tech is no title contender and will likely lose this game and next week to Texas. Flashy offenses never won titles, just ask Colt Brennan about that.

I seem to remember when all the "smart money" was on Mizzou in this forum last Saturday. Just a thought. I had Texas but that neither here nor their.
