Offensive MVP: Baron Batch
Defensive MVP: Cody Davis

Score:
TTU – 49
NMU – 14

Offensive MVP: Batch and Stephens combo
Defensive MVP: Colby Whitlock

Of note: The beloved Steven Sheffield should get some mop up time in this game to tune up just in case he is needed against UT.

Score:
TTU 56
NMU 14

TTU – 52
NM – 17

OMVP: Potts
DMVP: Davis

Areas we need Improvement:
The defensive line had better figure out to stop the run this week. Next week is fast approaching and things will get a whole lot more difficult. Special teams and O-line need to realize they have a job to do.

Off MVP = Batch – Run game will be focus
Def MVP = Bront Bird with a crapload of tackles

Score: TTU: a lot
             NM: not many

I’d like to see Sticks get some gametime in the 2nd qtr and then maybe get more reps in mop up duty. Not in effort to cause controversy, I’m still fine with Potts as starter. But I think it would be good to get Sticks some playing time in the game when it matters and not just to go run reps when we are up by a lot.

42 to 17 tech……i let them drop a little to far. After seeing the last game I am thinking I might not go spur this time…..42 to 10 tech.

I agree that the run game will be an area on which to concentrate. We will attempt to run the ball and run the ball some more. I think Jeffers may still be hurt??? Gasp! maybe even as much as 40% of the time. I predict Potts will NOT have more than 50 pass attempts. Not even if you add in Sheffield in mop up duty. I dont expect to see Sticks unless we’re up by 35 pts.

I predict our defensive will have a field day playing 2’s and 3’s in the 2nd half. The final score will include NM scoring 21 points….seven field goals. Less if they get all uppity and feel they need to go for one and make a statement on which they are turned back.

Offensive MVP: Batch (I predict he has a career game)
Defensive MVP: Scott Smith (I agree with Seth here. I think we give up quickly on the idea that Aundray Barr can rush the QB)

Score:
Pirates of the Plains: 52
Lobos of the Turquoise Jewelry State: 18

Tech will come out of the gate hot lighting it up in the first half. Potts goes off and all the mistakes from last week get tuned up. 49 first half points. Sticks gets some mop up duty and the defense shuts down NM.

OMVP Detron Lewis who finally has his big game 3TDs

DMVP Davis & Duncan forcing a combined 5 turn overs.

Finial score 70 – 7 Tech

we ran 84 plays last week? I think we hit 90+ this week vs NM

 Raiders: 63
Lobos : 19
MVP Off: Potts 45 of 56; 400 yards 5 x TD’s
Def MVP: Ford ( 3 picks) and Duncan 3 sacks- again.
I agree with Colonel 71 lots of Raider defensive rotations just because I don’t think NM Coach Lockley will risk trying to run any kind of hurry up i.e. he wants max execution and understanding from his team Espicially no loose balls. On the drive back from Lubbock XM had the Coach Leach and Jack Arute show on: Leach said when you get blown out (i.e. the Oregon game), step back and start doing the things you do best. Just do that to regroup your team. So I’d expect we see a bunch of Lobos dives, sweeps & short out routes. Taking time off the clock, speed up the game in order to limit the NASCAR from building a tidal wave on them. On special teams I think the Lobos take lots of chances. Wouldn’t be surprised if they ran a reverse on a punt/ kick off or 2.
Finally this could easily top 95 -100 plays likeTortilla said above..

outlook for the Red Raiders after last weeks game. Last week I stated my hunch was that Tech was a strong contender for the BIG XII title this year. My hunch now: Tech is a weak contender for the title. The Texas game will provide better prognostication.

MVP offense: Stephens
MVP defense: Davis
TTU 45 NM 14

Wreck’em Tech!

Tech- 49
NM – 3

OMVP – Leong
DMVP – Duncan

I predict coach focuses on the running game.
I predict coach practices rotating players in and out.
I predict 85-90 plays in the NASCAR offense.
I predict another practice quarterback sneak.
I predict somebody scores from a kickoff or punt return.
I predict Tech defense gets no less than 3 sacks and 1 int.
I predict Sticks takes over sometime during the second half.
Potts / Sticks will easily combine for more than 400 yards.
Batch / Stevens will easily combine for more than 125 yards.
I predict Tech scores about 49 points.
Hopefully we can get the field goal units some practice.
Defense better learn how to stop the run before the following week.

Tech: 52
UNM: 13
OMVP: Batch
DMVP: Duncan

UNM coach gets fird after the game.

This is the week Tuberville(I refuse to call an adult Tommy) sneaks Adam James a couple of plays to payback daddy James and to meet his contract requirements.

52-12…If they don’t blow them out, I’ll be shocked. Even if they play like crap, they should be able to line up and run the same five plays over and over and still be successful just due to the difference in athletes.

Lots of points on the offense.

Slight improvement in running game.

Defense shows a good game.

Special team coverage is solid.

We could not stop the run against SMU.
SMU turned over the ball 4 times and we only won by a touchdown.
Special Teams were just aweful.
Ingame decisions we horrendous. Up 2 touchdowns, 4th and 1 from your own 34 ring a bell?

For those in the Lubbock/Amarillo area you can watch the game if you have Suddenlink. It is $7 if you don’t already have the sports package and will air on the Mountain West Network on channel 528.

53-18 Tech.
We wear white helmets. Potts does ok, Sticks comes in and scores a TD. The D looks like crap in the first half then Katfish threatens Willis’ life. The D shuts out NM in the 2nd half. Special teams looks great. 2 blocked punts and Stevens has a ton of return yards.

Just my hunch.

Plus, littlelonghorngirl, I was struck by lightning so that baby thing might not work out so well. Antiswarm is right. Lightning hit me right in the crotch. Other than that, I’m golden.
