Texas Tech is ready to make some noise

It's easy to understand why TT is the talk of the south. With the starters returning and an easy schedule, this could very well be their year. A 5-0 start is very likely going into the NU game.

Texas Tech football is awfully interesting these days, too. Talk is the Red Raiders can legitimately challenge Texas and Oklahoma for supremacy in the Big 12 South Division. Leading the way for Tech is a head coach who has a law degree from Pepperdine and would just as soon talk about one of his favorite subjects, pirate history, as discuss his brilliant offense.

Prognosticators are touting the Red Raiders because they feature 10 returning starters on offense. What’s more, the defense shows signs of improvement and features eight returning starters.
Texas Tech finished 9-4 overall and 4-4 in the Big 12 in 2007, capping the season with a 31-28 win against Virginia in the Gator Bowl. It was Tech’s second straight 4-4 finish in the conference. The Red Raiders’ best league finish under Leach was a 6-2 mark in 2005, good for a tie for second.

Tech's schedule:

Aug. 30 Eastern Washington
Sept. 6 at Nevada
Sept. 13 SMU
Sept. 20 UMass
Sept. 27 OPEN DATE
Oct. 4 at Kansas State
Oct. 11 Nebraska
Oct. 18 at Texas A&M
Oct. 25 at Kansas
Nov. 1 Texas
Nov. 8 Oklahoma State
Nov. 15 OPEN DATE
Nov. 22 at Oklahoma

You mean a 6-0 start is very likely going into the A&M game?

**CycloneErik** · 05-26-2008, 12:53 PM

Maybe they're counting the open date as a win?

Can we do that? Bye is one of the easiest teams anyone could schedule!

I just find it really funny that he gives them a win AT KSU but is not going to give them a win AT HOME against Nebraska!! Come on Garn!!

**ripvdub** · 05-26-2008, 03:01 PM

Doesnt Tech go 5-0 every year and then get a does of reality?

Puh-leese.

Look for another 6-2 mark and tie for second in the Big 12 south.

Sorry about that.

I'm sure Tech fans haven't forgotten Nebraska's last trip to Lubbock, I know I haven't. It'll be one of the pivotal swing games for NU that could honestly go either way.
