Well, it was a defense-dominated game, especially by Texas Tech. First half was lights-out, second half not-so much offensively, but some key stops on defense sealed the deal. It's never easy to go into Lincoln and get a win against a ranked Cornhusker team that was the #2 scoring defense in the country coming in. WIll we be ranked? Who will start against the Aggies? What do you say we talk about it?

Needs to pass out some blackshirts today.
Thoroughly impressed.
I'm not worthy. Really.
Really...
I don’t see how Sticks doesn’t get the start after winning on the road against a ranked team. In Lincoln of all places.
Funny how we didn’t get picked for tv and nu did. They have losses to us unranked and vt who was 15 or so. We lost to #2 and #17 at the time. And beat the crap out of them heads up in their place. Good we aren’t televised on the #5 rivalry in the nation according to something I don’t remember preseason. Good job tv.

Our offense really struggled today
against a way-above-average defense. Our defense played lights-out for the second consecutive game. Suh was a non-factor. It was a great win on the road against a very difficult team.
Now we head home for what should be wins against the aggies and KU. Like how the team is gelling.
B Carter made a lot if money today. No?

I’d say he’s out of it after today – too difficult for a defensive tackle to win in the first place but he didn’t dominate or really even impact the game today or help his team win.

Great showing...
Sticks should definitelys start. Our defense played lights out…two weeks in a row. Offense played a good first half and did enough the second half to hang on to the win. Our special teams need to improve. Really good road win though…especially in Lincoln against a ranked team and large, loud crowd.
I see that as our biggest weakness
We are basically one deep on the line. The starters can hold their own, but not so much after that. Look what UNM did to us with a couple subs in there.
great game by the d
was are offense just trying to eat clock in second half or were we just struggling that badly
Not so fast, my friend
We’ve lost some games with her. But since she’s been doubled up (maybe her long lost twin?), we’re 3-0.

I'm not worthy. Really.
Just to clarify, and maybe I should do this on
the post-game thoughts tomorrow, but she made her first appearance after the Nebraska game last year. I was driving home after attending the NE game, bought an LAJ and she was featured in the paper. One of the first things I did when I got home was find her on the Spotted section, quickly saved her picture, and the rest is DTN history.
Let me know what you guys think about the tongue-wagging bell-ringer on the post-game thread (only if we win . . . right?).

Anyone still able to determine who the painted girl is? Does she even know she is blanketed all over Double T Nation?
1) Stay with the hot hand sticks.
2) Need to make a statement game over the Ags.
3) Run baby run (meaning Jeffers,Batch, Stephens)
4) O-Line needs to man up next week.
5) Ruffin is our MVP so far this season.
Honestly,
she’s never contacted me and I assume that her being a bit of a mystery is part of the fun.

I changed the language on my facebook to pirate english last wednesday, before K-st. I dont believe I will set it back normal until Tech loses a game. Here’s to pirate talk until 2011!!!
No doubt the pollsters are befuddled..
As you might expect all the sorry sack Dallas media talking heads got on the bus with B. Pelini. And they got left in a bad neighborhood. With no fare. Lights out Raider defensive effort, special teams only 2 x gaffes and offense scored when they had to. NE scoring defense was great in the 2nd half and kept them in the game. Just based on touches not capitilized upon by our offense the score could have just as easliy been TTU 45 – NE 10. I am so ready for the Aggies – who BTW are having a tough time with K State as we speak. I am going to make simple observation. This is a game vs Nebrasak that is a turning the corner event for the Red Raiders defense. I would expect a near shut out vs the next 3 x opponents and a level of domination not viewed by the Tech faithful since Senior Sack stalked the Jones. Go Raiders! Enjoy this night. Bring on the Aggies. Hey Beergut not to get too harsh but I’m not seeing you folks escaping Lubbock. Escaping with your scalps intact that is. Go Tech. Crush aTm. LOL.

I think the O-line the did well…heard very little from Suh….backups did well. I believe they are on the way up!!!

Not to be Debbie Downer
but are we sure painted face girl is even rooting for TTU? I never read the article or anything like that… but it has always bothered me their red is a little closer to NE red than scarlet and that the 2 letters behind her are ‘R’ and ‘K’… which are used to spell nebRasKa but not texas tech. I know they could have said ‘BEAT NEBRASKA’ or something along those lines… but it’s always been something i wondered about.
I do think she is a TT fan. I’ll have to find that Spotted gallery, but I think in the paper she was identified as a TT fan.

I watched last years Tech/Neb game again this week on ESPN classics. The girl was shown in a viedo pass by and she was in a group of raiders. Definitely a raider beauty!

Who is that girl?
‘R’ followed by ‘K’ cannot be Nebraska, unless the ‘A’ has gone for a drink or to the rest room or something. However, ‘R’ followed by ‘K’ could be Arkansas. Now whether that girls is a red raider girl we don’t know, we don’t even know if she is an Arkansas girl but I would guess she is because she is with the group wearing the ‘R’ followed by ‘K’.
She is a Red Raider!!!
Tech-Nebraska game ‘07. She was on TV, newspaper, and online. Need more evidence? I don’t know what they spelled out that day, but it’s definitely the Tech student section that does it every game. Case closed!

SHUCK THE HUSKERS
Is what they spelled out that game. Very clever play on words. I figured it out by piecing together different letters in the gallery, but the first two letters are SH, phrase ends with huskers, and there’s a C in there somewhere. Anybody see something different
not in the stands yet
in that photo either. they are still waiting to get in the stadium (you can see the student entrance behind them. So, they weren’t spelling anything out then. All in all, it is indisputable that she is a Red Raider. You’re welcome.
She has black on her
Black is not one of Neb’s colors.
BTW, are you sure we can use her pic like this? I mean don’t we need her consent or anything?
What if she freaks out after finding out that there are thousands of people worshiping her on some website.
I would
at this point the length and magnitude of y’alls fixation with her vastly exceeds reasonable behavior.

As per Mike on the prediction post the recent history of the series:
2004: Tech 70 Neb 10 LOVE IT!
2005: Tech 34 Neb 31
2008: Tech 37 Neb 31
2009: Tech 31 Neb 28
So many 31s… his prediction being half right helped that… but still odd for 31 to show up in 3/4 games.
My prediction was
Tech-52
Neb- 21
last two weeks have been good predictions for me.Damn OU and their fumbles.So now we don’t take much into acount that Sheffield had won against power puffs at home. Scratch that thought.We should be about #20 or a little higher.TEXAS is still playing on the ropes.It will happen folks TEXAS will fall somewhere.Correction on my last post that NEB could beat TEXAS.They don’t play.But OSU could do the job.I am hitting Lubbock on Thursday night.This will be one hell of a weekend coming up.The game should be sold out by tomorrow night.
WRECK THOSE DAMN AGGIES……WRECK’EM
Aggies down 17-0 after the first
to K-State. im going to say that, considering that they suck and our added enthusiasm from new seats, we win 72-14
Now 38-0 at halftime
And Kansas is losing to mighty Colorado 24-3 at halftime

werent we up 31-0 to K.State at half last week? K.State is beating atm worse than we beat kstate….. is it possible for a team to suck that bad?
K-State didn’t score an offensive TD against Tech and could not stop anything Tech’s offense did.
Next week will be a very ugly game for A&M at the Jones.

Man our boys showed up today!!
To all our Raider Nation fellows – It’s a good day to be a Raider. I’m very excited for our team and fans. Can’t wait to leave for Lubbock next week.
ok
I am sooooo proud of Our Boys! The defense was a “Suh Who” and I loved it.
I remember when I was worried about aTm before the Arkansas game...
Seems foolish now. We can play an average game and win by 28. If we play a good game against aTm at home (we almost always play a spectacular game) it could end up somewhere along the lines of 70+ to 0-10.
Prediction:
Texas Tech – 63
aTm – 6
(35-6 at halftime)
btw
Clearly Nebraska has a problem on offense, but that’s our problem. If you guys have a thread without the painted girl, it won’t be the same.
as me, I’d like to say…
I’ll be married 20 years in a couple of weeks.
but even I am in love with the painted girl.

Had family over today and couldn’t be rude, but boy, am I glad my prediction for this game was absurdly off. What a great management of the game by Sheffield. He took exactly what was available. A few times he slid over right into the defensive pressure but he’ll get better at that. I shudder to think how many sacks Neb would have had with Potts back there. 15? Probably. Our line was swiss cheese for the entire game, though technically they did okay because of only a handful of sacks.
Where was Suh? Complete non-factor, yet the announcers wouldn’t shut up about how he was the best player in the country. Well, the best player in the country didn’t show up. Carter deserves whatever it is he drinks tonight. And who else is glad that kid dumped the goofy mohawk and makeup? (waving arm in the air…)
Defense was unreal for Tech. All game long…never thought this crew had it in them. Granted, the Neb offense is not the strength of their team, but still. Tech now owns the longest consecutive winning streak against Neb in their history. Who would have thought that?
And, oh by the way, Aggie is getting absolutely destroyed by KState. KState, people! Aggies suck. Headed over to texags for a good laugh to cap off a great day.
KU deserves some credit
After being down 24-3 after 29 minutes they have stormed back and outscored Colorado 27-3 in the next 18 minutes of play. While Colorado is not very good and not a finishing team (see their terrible 2nd half performance in the UT game) KU is showing themselves to be a team that Tech must take seriously in 2 weeks.
But I actually like the fact that KU may be ranked when we play them at the Jones on Halloween. Will make the victory that game even sweeter.
looking at KU's offense
I like the nastiness that Tech’s D is starting to bear down with- we are pressuring the QB and making wideouts pay for the short completions that are KU’s bread and butter. If Will Ford de-cleats Kerry Meier it will be a filthy Halloween Miracle for the Double T Nation. As for KU’s defense, let’s just say they are soft as Charmin two-ply and leave it at that. Either Potts or Sheffield could have a field day against them

by mojavereject on Oct 17, 2009 9:50 PM CDT up reply actions
An interesting Idea...
I believe the big 12 should make the championship game for the top two teams in the big 12 period. The south has won 9 of the total 13. Last year OU and Texas could have had a rematch to shut the crybabies up, and this year (sorry nebraska fans) looks the same. The top 3 or 4 teams in the South are all better than the top north teams. Instead of seeing nebraska get killed in a big 12 championship, who wouldnt rather see Texas vs. Tech/OU??? Just seems more fair.
Or a re-alignment
The Big XII is suffering as a football conference thanks to the disparity between the divisions. The North needs to be as strong as the South if the Big XII is going to become the premier football conference. Right now, we may be little better than the Big 8 or the SWC were.
Just can't be done.
If you think our gate would suffer w/o playing ags, whorns every year, look what would hsppen to the 50,000 seater teams of the North.
I looked at the disparity between north and south attendance at one point in the past few months but with either average attendance and full capacity attendance, big 12 south teams have about 10,000 more per game than north teams. And that is without Techs additions and without OSU’s.
At this rate, just because of the “arms race” I don’t see how anyone but NU can have CONSISTENT success against the south. But in the future NU could be dominant at some point. They have the history and program. But the rest of the north teams not so much. I guess Mizzou maybe…
We have a D.....
It took Ruff a while to get the players he needs but TTech is really playing as a team. Our true freshman are so good!! I really think we win out and if we do then in the end this year will be different from last because we finally performed when we were suppose too but this year we really win because of team play. SS wasn’t great but creates enough space to really help. I wish he would run up field alittle more( Leach hates that) but it would help our running game to have another weapon! Wreck" Em Tech.
I think Sticks should start, at least until he loses. I think Leach will start him — even though I think Leach has a tendency to favor the guy he picked before the season started — until he loses.
I like Potts and I feel bummed out whenever I see him on the sideline, because I think most of his troubles this season (turnovers and sacks, mostly) are not entirely his fault. Sticks has shown that he performs better in the 2009 version of Texas Tech’s offense though, and for the sake of the team, he should remain the starter.
i dont agree with you… our Oline was horrible tonight and it showed and when sticks came in on the end of the 2nd quarter against NM you could see how he just killed the score in 2 quarters… something that potts could not do. sticks brings alot of tempo.. he completed 14 out of his 16 first throws on the first half. what does that tell anyone. is that like 90% completion? that is insane! i would not be surprised if he wins heismen next season. i would not be surprised if we go to the nationals next year. go sticks!
I’m not saying Potts would be as good as Sticks, just that Potts wasn’t the blame for everything bad that happened.
What both of you are saying is valid. However, Bones (sounds better than sticks right?) bring energy. He can move. We will hare more success with him. Potts has potential to be great and I’m a big fan of the guy. He just needs to bring what he had in HS and practice to the game. At this point Bones brings it and Potts doesn’t as much. That being said, Potts against UT was fantastic and no one can take that away. I’m a fan of both guys, sometimes these decisions suck. But Bones is the better guy at this point.
First, I agree. Sticks is a terrible nickname. Secondly, had Potts played even one series yesterday, we may be writing his obituary. The line had no success keeping the QB in the pocket for long. If Sheff could not have moved, he would have been killed. Obviously, Sheffield needs to work on his habit of scrambling INTO pressure at times, but it still saved his life. Potts is good, but Sheff is better. That’s not a crime.
Guys just suck it up
As the captain has this is as different team with Sticks under center.
By TEAM I meet all side of the ball

I should point out
that the NAIA team they played (Sioux Falls) is undefeated and has been a regular in the nat’l title game in recent years.
Great Defensive Effort
Ruffin has definitely sparked our D. They are playing remarkable right now. Offensively, we need to be more consistent. In the 3rd quarter we couldn’t get much going, good thing Nebraska’s offense is awful. I hope we run the ball down the aggies throat, since they gave up 6 rushing tds and made k state look like all americans.
Guys is NU offence that that badTim Griffin: Steve, I don’t think so. I really like Nebraska’s defensive line keyed by Ndamukong Suh to put pressure on whomever Tech has playing quarterback. Mike Leach has been successful in recent seasons against the Cor
or did Tech D play that well?
Sorry guys
the question was is NU offense that bad or Tech D that good
a little of this, a little of that
Tech’s D-Line really did a great job against NU’s O-Line, which until today I didn’t think was a liability for Nebraska, but now I’m not so sure. Less encouraging was the benching and then re-benching of Zac Lee, which really suggested that something deeply dysfunctional was going on with Nebraska’s offense over and above what Tech’s D was doing. So I guess my answer to your question is that I have no satisfactory answer to your question.

Who woulda thought?
If someone had told you we’d have only 259 yds in total offense and that NU would have more yards than we did, would you have predicted a win? A win the TV guys are calling a domination? I don’t know how to react having a team that can play D.
I have to feel a little for the Husker fans. They were sky high about having a good team after so many down years. We all know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out on nat’l TV. If it was UT, I wouldn’t care. But the corn people are pretty good folks..
Posted at the AJ site....
This is a great win, one I and some other Tech fans anticipated while many Tech fans felt Tech would lose. But Tech used every opportunity to score despite going up against one of the top defensive teams in the country. Neither team did offensively what they had been doing, but Tech made the most of what was being given to them by the NU defense. It wasn’t the typical "pretty" game, but a hard fought, well played game in enemy territory that should be considered one of the best ever played by any Tech team. Should this team carry this type of play on in every remaining game, a big time BCS bowl game could be in the future.
NO ONE in the media or anywhere across the country was giving Tech a chance at winning 10 or 11 games. But, if they win out, that is exactly what they can do. If they do this, then everyone is going to have to see Tech a "reloading" after good years, not "rebuilding". BIG DIFFERENCE!
The toughest remaining regular season game appears to be the one against Okie State. With Tech’s defense continuing this level of play throughout the rest of the season, there is no way Okie State will keep up, even in Stillwater. With the stumbling this week by OU, KU, Baylor and A&M, Texas Tech needs only to keep their heads on straight and play as hard the rest of the way as they have played so far. Doing so will enable them to have one more "DREAM SEASON", just like last year’s. So, GO TECH! WRECK ‘EM!
TTpilk
Still excited about this year....
but can next season hurry up and get here?! Im seriously thinking national championship. all we really lose is some Offensive linemen, and they are our weakest link so it doesnt hurt that bad.
...but gain the mysterious luchadore "Crazy Boy"
aka “El Loco De Tulancingo”, out of a JUCO in Guadalajara. He’s still got 3 years of eligibility, but it might take Matt Moore half a season to explain why his signature move, “The Spanish Fly” is not a legal blocking technique.
Will Muschamp is recruiting him too, if that makes any difference.
by mojavereject on Oct 17, 2009 11:44 PM CDT up reply actions
I love him as a person, but he really isn’t all that great of a lineman. Our entire O-line lets the D make contact first, even on runs. I know in HS i was taught that every play on the oline you need to be the one to make the first hit. Our guys all stand up and try to benchpress the d-linemen. I’m way out of shape and too small for NCAA D line, but I can use my hands. I honestly believe I could be past our O-line 3 of 5 times simply by staying low and using my hands to knock their arms away. Who is our O-line coach by the way?
Run vs Pass Blocking
The purpose of pass blocking isn’t to make first contact. In the pass game, the linemen’s job is to provide a pocket and time for the quarterback. You don’t do that by forcing first contact because you are more susceptible to stunts and twists. By using wide splits and delaying contact, it gives the OL time to determine if any of these tactics are being utilized so they can be picked up. Also, every bit of time that passes before the OL are even contacted is time for the quarterback. It’s all about buying any bit of time that you can.
by TracySaulRulz on Oct 18, 2009 8:47 AM CDT up reply actions
I understand that, but step into the guy coming our way is all I’m saying. Sit back, check it out, then explode. Our guys sit back with their arm’s extended like they are going to do something. Isn’t that the last thing you want to do as a linemen, extend your arms? That makes it way too easy to swat those arms off, where as if we stepped into them we would be in tight, making it much harder to get rid of us.
I think that's how the line is
taught to block. Get your hands of the defender and ride him out to create the pocket. I think OL coach Moore has been teaching that since he’s been at TT.
Go Raiders . . .
Double-T Nation
We really needed OU to win. Then we would be talking about a possible big 12 championship. At this point its really out of the question. Our best scenario for this season is we win out and the voters think two big 12 teams deserve a bcs bowl and we play in the fiesta. No way UT loses twice. And of course this is a best case scenario. Winning at OSU, at home against OU, and possibly even a dangerous KU team are going to be very tough games. And I sure hope we don’t look past A&M. We need to keep on a roll and dominate them.
i am very happy for the win but its really bothering me what happend on the 3 and 4 quarter. sheffield was 14/16 completions on the first quarter or two… how did it go from a 90% go a 69% so fast… i do give credit to sticks anyways
Next Year
The biggest worry I have is the O-line. The ones we will lose to graduation are the good ones – Carter, Winn, and Byrne. Even if we assume one more year will make the weak left side get better, that still leaves us with replacing the right side. We’ve seen what even one weak spot can do. I know Pearlie Graves is well-respected, but he’ll be green and untested and we still deperately need some depth.
BTW, I like it that Carter got rid of the silly face paint and cut off the mohawk. Maybe getting suspended made him grow up a little bit.
Not sure why you bring up Pearlie Graves, he’s a defensive tackle…
There’s one thing that we have going for us: only one of our 3 seniors has started every game at his position: Marlon Winn at RT. Carter’s gone back and forth between right and left guard and so Edwards and Okafor have gotten a world of playing time. I think Keown has looked great in relief of Byrnes. If he doesn’t keep it up, though, he’s got Olson, another senior next year who can play center as well.
We’re looking a lot better for replacing Carter and Byrnes and Winn than we did for replacing Reed and Vasquez is all I’m saying.
Does anybody know whatever happened to Reed?
I haven’t been able to find any information on him since Tech’s pro day……

He is still at Tech on an athletic scholarship. Still built like a brick shithouse…. think he has given up on sports though, really concentrating on that degree. An amazing guy especially considering all he’s been through. Easily on my top 5 favorite people list.
Good to here. What's he majoring in?

I really don't care
but how is he still on scholarship with no eligibility left? It really doesnt bother me at all in his case, but just wondering how that works.
