SPORTSTEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS

5 things Texas Tech fans need to know about Texas: Red Raiders must slow down run game​

After the Longhorns put 70 on the board last season, TTU needs to solve UT’s offense.​

No Texas Tech fan needs reminding of the 70-35 beatdown the Red Raiders suffered at the hands of Texas last season. A lot has changed about this Red Raiders team since then, but the Longhorns have changed as well. Here are five things Texas Tech fans need to know about the 2022 Longhorns:

QB madness​

Quarterback is always a position that generates a lot of attention, but the Longhorns’ situation at the position has been nothing short of a rollercoaster this season. Heading into Week 1, Quinn Ewers was named the starting quarterback after it was rumored that Hudson Card had won the job. Ewers threw for 359 yards, two touchdowns and an interception over two games before suffering an injury against Alabama. While it seemed that Ewers would miss an extended amount of time, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian reported on Tuesday that all of the Longhorns’ quarterbacks were practicing. Who will be the starting quarterback against Texas Tech? It seems no one knows the answer to that question yet.

A sore reunion​

The last time these two teams faced each other, the Longhorns put 70 points on the board. It was an agonizing defeat for the Red Raiders, one that was caused by a disappointing run defense. The Longhorns totaled a whopping 336 rushing yards in that contest, led by Bijan Robinson’s 137 yards. Roschon Johnson was no relief for the Texas Tech defense, who put up 64 yards and two touchdowns of his own. Both of those backs are still on the Texas sideline, which is a sight that could nauseate Texas Tech fans.

Question mark on defense​

It’s been a noisy week for Texas linebacker Demarvion Overshown. The senior started his week by appealing a targeting call from the UTSA game, one that could cause him to miss the first half of the Texas Tech game. Overshown was then reportedly arrested for a marijuana possession charge, but it was later corrected that the incident happened in December of last year. Needless to say, there’s a lot of noise around Overshown right now. The linebacker is currently second in total tackles on the Texas defense. With his status up in the air, Texas Tech will need to game plan for an explosive first half.

Newfound identity​

There’s a new, unexpected face on the Texas sideline, and he may be making a bigger impact than it seems. Former TCU head coach Gary Patterson joined the Longhorns’ staff as a defensive analyst this offseason, and the Texas’ defense has looked noticeably different. The Longhorns’ standing in measurable statistics is lackluster, ranking ninth in opponent rushing yards per game and eighth in total yards allowed per game among Big 12 teams. But while the measurables aren’t there, the blitz looks from Longhorns have been elite. Six different Texas defenders have tallied at least half a sack already this season. Against a Texas Tech offensive line that’s struggled, expect a lot of pressure from Texas.

Downfield headache​

An unexpected weak point of the Texas Tech defense this season has been the secondary. The Red Raiders have allowed a number of plays where a receiver completely broke their coverage and ended up wide open downfield. Texas Tech better hope to correct those issues quickly, because Texas has two massive weapons on the outside. Xavier Worthy is the most notable Texas receiver, making his presence known with 100 yards and three touchdowns against Texas Tech last season. Jordan Whittington has evolved into a vital part of the Texas offense, leading the team in receptions this season.

SPORTSTEXAS LONGHORNS

5 things Texas fans need to know about Texas Tech: Good defense stabilizes Red Raiders​

Texas Tech will also have to rely on sophomore quarterback Donovan Smith to lead the charge.​

Texas ended its non-conference schedule with a 41-20 win over UTSA last Saturday. This week, the Longhorns head up to Lubbock to begin Big 12 play against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are coming off of a 27-14 loss against the NC State Wolfpack.

Here are five things Texas fans should know about Texas Tech:

A solid defense​

Texas Tech has one of the best defenses in the Big 12, by far. At the very least, do not expect this year’s game to be a blowout. Texas beat Texas Tech last season, 70-35, in Austin.Linebacker Tyree Wilson currently leads the team in tackles, with 12 solo and 21 total. Despite the loss to NC State, Wilson showed out against the Wolfpack. He ended the game with 11 tackles, 3.5 TFL and two sacks. The former Texas A&M Aggie is one of the most important defenders to this great Texas Tech defense.

Another young QB (or two)​

Texas Tech is also currently led by a young quarterback, sophomore Donovan Smith. The Red Raiders’ starting quarterback, senior Tyler Shough, is still recovering from a shoulder injury that occurred earlier in the month.


“He’s a multi-talented guy that deserves our attention and focus,” Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said about Smith on Monday.

Smith was awarded Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week earlier this month for his performance in Texas Tech’s win over Houston. However, the Nevada native struggled last weekend against NC State and ended the game with a 58.3% completion rate.

Smith has already shown his talent this season, but the question is whether he’ll be consistent on Saturday. It’s up to Smith and freshman quarterback Behren Morton to run the show, for now.

Minimizing turnovers​

Texas Tech had four turnovers in its loss to NC State, marking a season total of six. Texas has only committed one turnover this season — it happened in the season opener against ULM.

Minimizing turnovers is definitely something that the Red Raiders will be focused on come Saturday. The high volume of turnovers played a key part in last week’s loss to NC State.
The Red Raiders will be on watch as the Longhorns’ much-improved defense looks to do some damage.

Joey McGuire’s first game vs. Texas​

The game on Saturday will also be the first time that Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire leads a team against Texas. McGuire has been coaching in the Big 12 since 2017 when he was hired at Baylor by Matt Rhule.But Saturday will be his first experience leading a team against Texas. McGuire still draws heavily from his time at Baylor, citing Baylor head coach Dave Aranda as one example of why he has started leaning towards analytics.

Full house​

Saturday’s game is officially sold out, per Texas Tech Athletics. This is the first time since 2018 that Jones AT&T Stadium will host a sold-out game. During that season, both games against Texas and Oklahoma were sold out.With Texas’ entrance into the SEC nearing, Saturday’s matchup will most likely be the last time that Texas plays in Lubbock as a member of the Big 12. All 60,454 seats of Jones AT&T Stadium will be filled as Texas’ Big 12 farewell tour begins.

Back in the day a Bills fan had a banner when play the Dolphins stating

Miami May have the oranges but we have the Juice.

O.J. was a marvel to watch talk about falling from grace.

How many has there been? Isn’t this just the third time? Didn’t think there were a lot but I haven’t been following them too much.

 

[biggins]

So Saturday I bet NC St. Texas Tech over had my fingers crossed their offense would play out as weeks before. And NC St. had been high octane and not much defense first two was dead ass wrong was a defensive struggle.
Tech’s defense is for real but surprised Texas is only 6 1/2 point favorites.
Stadium’s sold out and sure will be a black out in student section should be fun game to watch.

Oregon won

I think that’s right

Looks like not all accounts are eligible for this.

In the zero juice section, it's showing:

Texas -7 -112
Texas Tech +7 -108

Those are actually worse than the regular odds they have in the main College Football section of:

Texas -7 -110
Texas Tech +7 -106

 

[keithrichard]

I don't have it either.
