I think it's a bit lofty for you to think we're only 4 pt underdogs at a neutral locale.

You obviously have no say in the Vegas odds, do you. And that's a good thing, because judging by that statement, you'd be broke.

Tech, like most offences will be better later in the year than the first game

ouch

Texas Tech 41
SMU 10


I think Graham Harrell will light it up, but penalties will keep us under 50 pts.

With comfortable 2nd half 21-6 lead, the unrestrained ego of Leach cannot go easy. Bombs away play calling by Leach gives us a couple of INT & we steal it in the final minute 23-20.

Despite the road upset, PB stills offer to whip Leach's [deleted] @ 50 yd line. There are no takers.

I see Tech ran the old "lose a point play" in the second half.

Here is my overall game prediction:

Final Score - SMU 21 - Tech 23

SMU Highlights
Defense
A. Haywood 2 Sacks and 1 Fumble Recovery
J. Sturdivant 2 Picks and 12 tackles
J. Rogers - 1 sack and 1 Fumble Caused

Offense
D. Martin - 123 yards rushing, 25 yards receiving and 2 TD
B. Chase - 5 Catches for 83 yards and 1 TD
R. Kennedy - 2 Catches for 45 yards
J. Willis - 10-15 passing for 153 yards, 63 rushing yards and 1 TD

Special teams
J. Henderson - 6 returns for 180 yards - At least one for 40+ yards.

I really think that this game will be closer than anyone realizes. With the new clock rules, Tech does not get as many touches, our defense won't get as tired, and the game time temp will keep them fresh. With a game time temp of 70 and the possibility of a wet field look for SMU to keep this close.

I expect D-Line pressure on Tech all night long and Graham Harrell is going to find out what Palmer and Kolb found out about the SMU pass rush at the end of last year. Expect short passes to Martin and Kennedy to set up strikes to Bobby Chase who is always good for at least 75 yards and a TD against a Big 12 opponent. Still don't think we have enough in the tank and it might take a late 4th qtr surge to beat us but I do not expect a blow out like others have predicted.

SMU - 28
TT - 24

Tech 38
SMU 10

I'll eat crow, but we'll get our asses handed to us. I am hoping it's close
to this score and not the complete embarassing blowout.

First, can I just say that I don't care for Lubbock? There are some crazy women out there. I predict SMU will be able to run the ball with some success and keep the score lower plus we get 2 interceptions.

Is Hicks playing to TTU? I heard he was an academic casualty for the first game.

Tech 24
SMU 17

I agree.
