Texas Tech 63, Indiana State 7 (Final)

[BrockSamson]

It should be different. TTech has more talent than they did in 2002, and you'd be playing them at the end of the season, instead of the beginning, when they are executing the hell outta Leach's system.

Of course, it is hard to predict how they'll perform in a single game, much less an entire season...they've gotta play consistently through a couple more weekends...

Yeah, it could be different; it could be worse than 45-21....

I though that TTech had a Heisman candidate at QB in 2002?

Yeah, I don't suppose that the Bucks would improve much from the opener to the bowl game, especially under Tressel who is known for his late season fold jobs - oh wait a minute, that was Cooper whose teams collapsed at the end of the year; JT's always seem to peak for Michigan and the bowl game...

True, that's why they play the games on the field....

Agreed ... and so do the Bucks, by the way.

OSU-TT could be an interesting game, but I doubt it. I'd rather see a re-match with Texas, or a game against either the ACC or SEC conference champ.

I wouldn't want to play Texas Tech in a bowl game, I am not a fan of their program and have no respect for their coach.

Give me a very good SEC team, or a Texas rematch.....or maybe even a USC battle.....

[Oh8ch]

Which of the following statements is true about Florida International, Sam Houston State and Indiana State?

a. The average fan does not know that any of the three has a football program.

b. They are a combined 1-9 for the season (the only win coming against Bacone College, excuse me, that should be THE Bacone College)

c. Any of the three could be competitive in the Big XII North.

d. They also have been scouted for the Fiesta Bowl.

e. Beating them in succession makes a team worthy of being ranked #13 in the country.

f. They represent the Texas Tech non-conference schedule.

[crazybuckfan40]

g. take the best players from all three teams and you still have a team that finishes last in the big ten.

Rewarding TTech for playing cupcakes like those three is what's wrong with college football. Until this stops, great games like us against Texas will become even rarer.

Wait till they play a real team. O wait there is only one in the little XII.

What about the one that destroyed Iowa 2 weeks ago. I guess that would severely limit the number of "real" teams in the Big 10 as well.

[Bucky Katt]

Hodges went 44-65 for 644 yards and 5 tds against Kansas State. They had four receivers with over 100 receiving yards, including Joel Filani with 255.

Hodges final td pass came with less than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Red Raiders up 52-20. And it went to the starting runing back. Classy move by Leach, leaving the starters in for a little longer in this nail-biter.

I can't wait to see what kind of beat-down Texas drops on them next Saturday. Come on Mack! Have no mercy on Leach.

[tedginn05]

damn talk about bringing up old threads

[SlingeroGuitaro]

It's going to be a fun game to watch. Texas will give up a lot of yards, but on their half of the field they are un[censored]withable.


a quarterback in the pocket all day+ Texas scheme= uh

In light of the 52-17 ASS-KICKING which Texas laid on TTech, do you still think that the Raiders overrated, one-dimensional squad could give the Buckeyes a game? I think (know) not..... What a joke!

[Bucklion]

They did beat Nebraska in the "most overrated team in a BCS conference not called the Big East" bowl, though
