ESPN - Tim's mailbag: Scoring should tumble when Big 12 play begins - Big 12

Jack from Stephenville, Texas writes: Tim, How do you see Texas Tech faring this weekend against Kansas State up in Manhattan? Tim Griffin: Jack, I like their chances because it looks like their offense has a sizable talent advantage over Kansas State's struggling defense. But this is exactly the kind of game that the Red Raiders have struggled over in previous seasons. I'm still not sold until they can go on the road and dominate an opponent. Kansas State would be a good step. And I'm curious how much Mike Leach will be using his ground game against an opponent that has been gashed for at least 300 rushing yards in each of its last two games. It might give the Red Raiders an unconventional way -- at least for them -- of beating an opponent this week.
