Wrech em Tech!

If the game is played in the rain, it changes the complexion of the game. Tech still wins but doesn’t cover the spread. TTU 24 N 17.

Baron Batch OMVP

Brian Duncan DMVP

  1. Synopsis: It sprinkles a bit. Tech throws the ball more in the wet than in the dry and still runs away with the game. Game is pretty much in the bag in the first half and TTU doesn’t let up.
  2. Offensive MVP: Michael Crabtree
  3. Defensive MVP: McKinner Dixon
  4. Final Score: TTU – 70, Neb – 10 (Had to do it)

(i think you should get rid of the “Synopsis in 20 words or less”. Just shorten it to Synopsis)

Synopsis: Tech makes Missouri’s performance look mundane with the first 200 yrd rush game in the Leach era. 3 receivers have more than 100 yds, Harrell throws for 3 TD and rushes for 2.

Offensive MVP (other than Harrell): Batch

Defensive MVP: Whitlock

Final Score: 56 – 13

Techs offense will set a new big 12 record for something, Defense will play their best game this season, and Tech will roll rain or shine.

Offensive MVP: Crabtree/Harrell
Defensive MVP: Dixon or all the DL

Finial score: 63-21 with one of those TD comming late against 2nd string.

Awe SCHUCKS, the huskers' season gets CORNY

Tech will roll, but Captain Mike will need to beat the 52 Mizzou posted last week for his own ego.

Offense MVP: #2 Woods-I’ve been waiting for him to hit his groove for 5 years.
Defensive MVP: #43 McKinner Dixon

59-24. 8 TD’s and we MAKE all extra points and one place kick.

Defensive MVP McKinner Dixon

Rain

will result in a few dropsies for both sides, a couple of fubles even. Turnovers by both sides keep score from reaching high numbers.
OMVP=Harrell
DMVP=Duncan & Dixon
Score Us=44; them=17

Changes in Latitude = Changes in Attitude

Nebraska gets a stellar performance from Ganz and Lucky. Defense begins to gel and makes some stops.

Off MVP: Lucky
Def MVP: Suh

NU -48
TTU-34

Need 2 make a statement

900 yards of total offense leaves no doubt.

Off MVP Harrell 652 yards, 8 TD’s
Def MVP – Dixon 2 sacks

TTU – 70
Neb – 7

Rolling to a top 5 ranking

Tech O gets rolling early, forcing Huskers to pass, leading to SMU type defensive peformance. At least 3 INTs. Ganz gives us a few fits but Lucky has no impact. GH connects with everyone on field and racks up 250 yards by half.

Offensive MVP – Detron Lewis…although Crab gets at least 2 tds
Defensive MVP – Darcel McBath

Tech 62
Nebraska 17

Clouds, no rain (chance of rain is only 30%). Tech starts slowly, for some reason, but comes on in the second half to roll. Nebraska does some nice things offensively, but a few critical mistakes will lead to quick TDs for Tech. Game is probably closer than the score, though Tech is never seriously threatened.

TTU 49
Neb 20

Side note…I used to be a huge Nebraska and OU fan from the old Big Eight days, so I have a hard time working up any hatred for either of these guys. Anyone else feel like that? I still actually like OU, if you can believe that.

not so confident????

snip from
http://www.huskers.com/
he doesn’t sound like a happy coach or someon who thinks they have a chance…

I think they’re understanding the game plan," Pelini said. "They came back with a good focus and now we’ve got to take it to the game."

Pelini said he isn’t worried about the how the Huskers will respond on the field Saturday.

"I have confidence that they know what’s expected of them," Pelini said. "Whether it’s on the road or at home, it comes down to playing between the lines and executing and doing what you have to do."

If you not having fun....then your not playing the game right.

Tech wins

Not sure about score because I am not sure about the scattered Showers being predicted for the game. Based on what I am seeing, I do no expect rain until late afternoon or in to the evening.

So if it does rain, score will be some what lower.

So if rain.

Tech 38
NU 12

No rain,
Tech 60
NU 20

MVP Harrell. 500 plus yards passing and a close to 700 total offensive performance.
Defensive MVP Williams will tear up NU. Because he has been ignored and not getting a lot of press lately. I also expect SeSay to have a break out game. If rain, reduce totals by 200 yards and Increase Running game by 75 yards.

Expect to see the special Teams play a solid game for a change. Something they have not done this season. Thus no problems kicking or punting!

I expect the first team defense will hold NU to less than 300 yards of offense. In the 4th quarter, NU gets a couple of scores on the 2nd through 4th stringers.

I expect to see also 175 yards rushing.

Crabtree 7 Catches for 145 yards. 2 TDs.

See ya at the game. If your down in Sec 4 or 5 look for me!
