We should show up to the OSU game and root for them hahaha.

I’m with you. So many people are acting like our grandmother died. We have the same record as 0U and TU, and are tied for 1st in the Big XII South. Our guys still ROCK!!!!
We hang 70 on Baylor Saturday and who knows, the BCS gods might smile upon us and we go to Arizona. If not, I will gladly go see them in Dallas.

Wreck ’Em Tech!

I could not believe the number of “Raider fans” voicing their disgust at the team over Saturday’s performance. What a total crock………..must be the same fans that can’t get the fight song correct…………Tech is much like every other school in the country in that they have been winning and losing games for years. In our case, we have been getting better every year as of late and at 10-1 we stand with OU, ut, Florida, and a host of other “traditional” powerhouses.
Guns up! Heads up! Lets do something better than 10-1, lets get to 11-1 BEFORE the bowl. Remember, our house – our time.
If you find that getting wasted by a very good OU team causes you to not be a fan anymore, then got to Walmart and get a ut jersey and cheeer for the second best team in Texas.

we freakin own aggie. We are 10-1. Worst thing happens is I get to see us here for a new years day bowl. Those who abandon, please burn your brand new Tech t-shirt.

Good post. I have read some of the remarks from other sites as well and there are some supposed fans that are really dissing this exceptional team. They were over-ready for the OU game and never settled down until late in the game, too late to rebound against an excellent OU team. With their heads back on their shoulders and not floating around in the clouds, this team may destroy any and all remaining foes. The talent and expertise is still there. So many here in Austin have never given Tech any credit and they are now gloating because we lost-one game-the same number of losses they have-to us. Keep backing this team. The ride is still spinning. GO TECH!

about OU and the debacle in Norman. Time for everyone to turn their attention to a much improved and dangerous Baylor team.

Briles may know our offenses cause he uses it but he has never seen Crabtree or Batch in a game also there seems to be a great difference in the talent gap from OU to Baylor. And even if Baylor is better our talent is way closer to OU than to Baylor. Defensively, their QB maybe good but is there oline anthing close to UT or OU I think not. Anyway, at the Jones I think our frustration comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wreck’em TECH Beat Baylor Keep Leach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The difference will be in how McNeill goes about restoring some confidence in the 4-3 scheme. Art Briles has been phenomenal this year at putting his quarterback in down and distance plays that set him up for success, whereas many offensive coordinators are satisfied with letting an athletic talent like Griffin set up in the zone-read and leave him to make something happen on his own. This is the sort of situation that McNeill, who is nothing if not conservative in his schemes, will look at and decide to start with our typical zone play and challenge Griffin to find the holes while being pressured. Briles will probably anticipate this by exploiting the soft coverage early, setting up easy throws with good potential for yards after completion, and probably try to get Griffin out of the pocket for some cheap yardage on designed runs and scrambles. What I’d do is challenge our outside linebackers to make plays from sideline to sideline, which, if their performance to date is any indication, would force the secondary to creep in- Bird, Williams, and Riley just aren’t all that fast. I’ll get excited when if we can minimize the damage of this gameplan with solid tackling and quick reads, mainly so we can see more of our dime/Joker package, which I think has just been dynamite so far.

How we have the advantage: McKinner Dixon lives in the backfield, and as such can make a meal out of a quarterback scrambling to make a play. Brandon Williams is as good as he’s ever been, and Baylor doesn’t have the kind of power game that will allow them to run away from his side the way OU did. He’ll make big things happen, and hopefully scramble a still-young quarterback’s composure. Colby Whitlock is once again playing against a spread set that he can wreak havoc on without getting isolated inside nearly ever play. Baylor’s game isn’t anything remarkable in the world of spread offenses- where it distinguishes itself is in Griffin’s athleticism and Briles’ playcalling smarts. That leaves a gap in the team talent department that a pissed-off Raider D should be able to fill nicely.
