Better on the English. Now answer the question: What score did you expect on the road at a Top 25 Big 12 team?

I'll be honest. I expected a little better showing in Lubbock, BUT...

I was happy with some of our performances. No INTs for Willis. In fact, I haven't looked at the box score, but I think we only had one turnover the entire game. Bennett showed faith in the QB position. I would've liked to be 3rd and 2 more than being 3rd and 8.

While I would have like to have fought a little harder for a win, I'm glad that we came out of this game with no major injuries and, presumably, no big mental issues (with the switching of QBs or major turnovers). Tech was never considered a team that we needed to win against to go to a bowl.

That's where I am too Peruna. You never like to lose, but I'm ok with this game.

Now let's go beat North Texas.

Knuclestang...they were still shouting instructions as Willis set behind the center (he didn't setup behind the center, but back several yards awaiting the direct snap), then he looked to the sideline, simultaneously the center appeared to snap early in the count and the ball caught Willis by surprise.

I am just disappointed that we didn't appear to play to win, just to play not embarrass ourselves. I would have hoped we would begin taking chances as we saw that Willis appeared composed during most of the game. I think he can be a real player in the future.

But, Todd Graham. Now there is a sideline presence!!!!!

Todd Graham loves me this I know, because Rivals told me so.
