Texas Tech Football:

LAJ's Don Williams has a great article on defensive back, LaRon Moore. A little bit of history on LaRon's uncle, Ronald Moore, who was inducted into the Division II Football Hall of Fame has this to say about his nephew:

"Honestly, he has a lot more tools than I ever had,'' said Ronald Moore, who spent six seasons as an NFL running back. "He's faster at his age than I ever was.

"A little of both. I'm a Bill O'Reilly fan. I listen to a lot of talk radio. G. Gordon Liddy. Rush Limbaugh. Sean Hannity. I like G. Gordon Liddy. I got Leach that Stacked and Packed Calendar. G.

Don and Jeff also focus in this article on a position battle on the backup to middle linebacker, Paul Williams. Currently, Victor Hunter and Ryan Hale are battling for that role.

In Don's Red Raider Football Notebook he notes that cornerback Brent Nickerson had a big day yesterday with two interceptions and a pass deflection.
