Big 12 Football: Berry Tramel ranks the games for Week 4
The Bruins and Wildcats are each unbeaten in three games coming into their conference opener. Who will win this game? After being run out of town, he was succeeded by the Red Raider’s favorite son, former Tech QB, and Ryan Gosling doppelganger, Kliff Kingsbury. Boykin has given up 3 interceptions this year, look for Texas Tech’s defense to raise that number. He also added two more touchdowns on the ground.
It’s really hard to go undefeated when your defense is playing that way. Running back Aaron Green has 45 carries for 272 yards and 4 touchdowns, plus 2 catches.
You think the Red Raiders remember the Horned Frogs putting 82 points on them a year ago?
Texas Tech responded however with a 1 yard rushing touchdown by DeAndre Washington to tie the game.
Texas Tech picked up one of its biggest wins in recent memory with a 35-24 win at Arkansas Saturday.
The teams traded empty possession before the Horned Frogs started at their own 47 and drove downfield for the winning touchdown. I’m not going to say TT can’t win the Big 12 – just because they haven’t doesn’t mean they won’t.
Well, things are getting pretty wild in Lubbock on Saturday between the TCU Horned Frogs and Texas Tech Red Raiders. Allen’s third-and-17 pass for Sprinkle at the goal line fell well short on the next play. Without a true tight end, the Tech offense lacks a full suite of weapons in the red zone.
On the defensive side of the ball Tech has to continue to be opportunistic and have a bend but don’t break mentality.
One of those was to this week’s opponent, Texas A&M. In fact, the true freshman wasn’t Tech’s starter until Davis Webb was injured during our game against them past year.
The Red Raiders haven’t trailed this season.
That being said, a few defensive linemen came up huge on some key drives.
Thomas Sirk was 17 of 25 for 114 yards with an 11-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Rahming. Had TCU not converted the insane fourth down play, Patterson’s late-game strategy would have been severely criticized. Baylor’s offense is the nation’s most productive, but it never hurts to get a little early practice against a similar defense as it will have to beat to win the Big 12.
It was the fifth straight 100-yard game for Fournette, eighth of his career, and a fitting place for him to shine again.
The block came on a speed option play.
A Twitter movement trying to get ESPN’s College GameDay to Bloomington sprung up last week, though the network might have a hard time staying away from No. 6 Notre Dame’s visit to No. 11 Clemson.
For Arkansas, Allen connected on 20-of-25 throws for 225 yards with a touchdown and a pick, while Collins rushed 26 times for 151 yards and a score.
