Open 2nd Half Thread :: Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Doubletface_cropped_tiny by djollie111 on in Texas Tech Football


Thanks to some plays on defense Texas Tech is up 24-3 at the half.  Can our banged-up O-line keep Sheffield upright long enough to extend the lead?  Can our defense continue to pressure Nebraska QB Zac Lee?  Join in the 2nd half thread.

Still no running game to speak of

Jeffers has the one run for 21 yards and Batch has 4 carries for 4 total yards. We must improve that – but hard to do without starting O-Line

by jeffinhouston on Oct 17, 2009 4:14 PM CDT reply actions  

I'm happy with the play calling overall

We did run for a first down. And it wasn’t a QB sneak.

Next

best thing to a Tech win is a Notre Dame or Aggie loss. So says I.

I wish UT had lost so we’d have a better shot at the 3 way South title again.

by merrik on Oct 17, 2009 4:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

now it would take a miracle for Tech to win the south

need 2 losses by UT against no one and Tech run the table

by jeffinhouston on Oct 17, 2009 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

I dunno...

UT hasnt impressed me too much. Look for mizzou to give them a run for it next week, and we all know atm wants nothing more than to beat them this year in kyle field. Plus UT always struggles with Ok st. Its an outside chance, but its still a chance.

by RdrPwr on Oct 17, 2009 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think the Aggies and the Cowboys have a good shot since both are away games. Texas has played nobody of note in a hostile environment. Must be nice.

I still think Jordan Shipley is the best player on their team. Colt McCoy is an above average QB but I think if you watch him play, calling him the best college football player is pretty ridiculous.

Sticks

He’s good, but he needs time to throw. Right now he’s just getting the ball and trying to run away from 2-4 guys who toss our Oline aside and start charging him. I wish he was doing a better job of keeping his eyes downfield and throwing it away if need be, but whenever he’s had protection today he’s been solid.

Really hope the #15 ranking didn’t get to us because we did not deserve it. We nearly beat VT on a week where they suck. We get a downpour in Mizzou where it’s just messy, but a win.

…especially with NU being the best of the North.

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:29 PM CDT reply actions  

That was a pick…bad call.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:29 PM CDT reply actions  

that touchdown technically didnt happen as far as im concerned. any chance we can “forget” a td here on DTN when posting scores?

by RdrPwr on Oct 17, 2009 5:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

a call went against us…and we came out flat from the replay. I’m on my knees hoping we can close this out.

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:30 PM CDT reply actions  

sheff is not going to save the day guys….he’s not that player yet. He just needs to manage the game/clock.

Today. Our OFFENSE is a BLOODHOUND that occasionally gets up and hunts.
The DEFENSE is a DOBERMAN.

need to take off at least 5 minutes off the clock…

Should have been our ball...

Bad call..I’ll take it.

i hate Petrino—coward for abandoning his team (Atlanta).

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:39 PM CDT reply actions  

No touching allowed in this game. Thanks refs for letting us know we were playing flag football.

Maybe Mack payed the wrong refs?

Sweet…a great drive right when we needed one!!! I’m really proud of our team the past couple of weeks.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:41 PM CDT reply actions  

Could improve on special teams though

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ok...

I just placed a plate of ribs afore my shrine to Elmer Tarbox. We shoud be fine.

by ForestFlyer on Oct 17, 2009 5:41 PM CDT reply actions  

No coming back from this one for NU. Congrats Raiders on an important and deserved win. Hopefully Florida will lose so we can have some company in our misery. :(

by davereid on Oct 17, 2009 5:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Nebraska still is the favorite to win the North – good luck the rest of the year. We appreicate your sportsmanship.

by jeffinhouston on Oct 17, 2009 5:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

Thanks guys. Glad to converse with you all. Best of luck to you guys as well!

by davereid on Oct 17, 2009 5:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Don’t want to. We all know (and think the team knows as well) that they’re better than this.

by davereid on Oct 17, 2009 5:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

davereid..I think NU will win North and I’ll be rooting for you to beat the Horns!

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:43 PM CDT reply actions  

Somebody has to beat the horns for us…twice

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think we’ll come back from this. Hook’em horns DOWN!

by davereid on Oct 17, 2009 5:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

we will definitely be rooting for you to beat UT

Pellini should shut his pie hole about that call. His team has played like shit all day.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:43 PM CDT reply actions  

I’d still rather have a coach that has a spine and fights for his team. :( That call was just insult to injury. But agreed we’ve played bad this entire game.

by davereid on Oct 17, 2009 5:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree…just seems pointless right now.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

Pellini is a good coach—teaches discipline and smash mouth football. last year’s NU team almost beat us.

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:45 PM CDT reply actions  

Agree…I like his intensity. But, why yell at the refs when they are the least of your problems.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nebraska played today how we played last year..

by RdrPwr on Oct 17, 2009 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

Nebraska – Black Shirt Defense
Texas Tech – No Respect Defense

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

Different team with Stix

I expected this to come down to the last minute.

Bring on the Aggies!!!

Sharpe looked fine….but we’ll never know.

Man…I wish we could get the Houston game back. Pick—game over!!

think how different the season would look with that one game being a different result

by jeffinhouston on Oct 17, 2009 5:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

They can’t all be blowouts..I’ll take our first road win like this. Defense played awesome.

by merrik on Oct 17, 2009 5:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nebraska came into the game with the number 2 defense in the country

by jeffinhouston on Oct 17, 2009 5:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

We won

What more than that?

I'm not worthy. Really.

by Campeador on Oct 17, 2009 5:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Sharpe was an animal all day…especially early.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:51 PM CDT reply actions  

yeah

Okay…..

Congrats to you guys. Now you know (if you read the Q&A, and if you didn’t shame on you) why we were so apprehensive about our offense.

You kicked our ass. I’m a little apprehensive about saying you beat us up as much as we screwed ourselves, but that’s a long conversation.

Anyway, congrats. Take care. Good luck with the rest of your season. I’ll be rooting for you guys (some times, Ha!)

thanks for the insight, sportsmanship, and hospitality all week

and good luck the rest of the way – win all the remaining games on the schedule (especially UT)

by jeffinhouston on Oct 17, 2009 5:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Thanks for coming by. It was a good game and you’re right, NU hurt themselves a lot and got off to a slow defensive start. Pretty even in the second half; its hard to come back two weeks in a row.

by merrik on Oct 17, 2009 5:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Good game
You kicked our ass.

No, we beat a very good team that needs to work on some offense.

I'm not worthy. Really.

by Campeador on Oct 17, 2009 5:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

I’ll be rooting for you guys to beat Texas—get that offense in shape by December!!!

by WreckerRaider on Oct 17, 2009 5:54 PM CDT reply actions  

Corn and Dave

I agree…NU didn’t have their best today. REally beat themselves to a great degree. Something we at TTU are familiar with and feel your pain (see Houston game). We had a good defensive effort today and enough offense in the first half to make the difference.

Good luck the rest of the way.

by Techsan71 on Oct 17, 2009 5:55 PM CDT reply actions  

You know..

this is a significant Tech win. Shame to let the second half performance of the offense sully the victory.

by ForestFlyer on Oct 17, 2009 5:59 PM CDT reply actions  

yes
