Hey Tech fans, remember when we beat OU in Norman and things we looking great for the rest of the season? No? Anyone? Coach Tuberville put your hand down. Well how about another shot at knocking off the #2 team in the nation at home, yep not feeling it.
But before we get into the OSU Cowboys, lets look back at last week…
I think the refs just signaled another touchdown for the Longhorns. This time they started at the own 1 inch line and in three quick runs, score again. How can Tech not field a defense on a weekly basis? Are they that thin that with injuries you are fielding a six-man squad against UT? The Horns didn’t even have their starting RB, but their back up managed to put up almost 200 yds and 3 TDs. 489 yards on the ground. Stellar effort there. 0-4 against A&M and UT Tubs. You can’t go 0-4 at Auburn against Bama because they’d fire your butt, but keep it up. Its all coming together.
So this week Tech gets to rebound from that shellacking with a nice matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Its in Lubbock, but so was the Iowa State game. The Cowboys come in looking to go 10-0 and secure a spot in the BCS title game.
Gundy and the OSU staff looked at what Tech was doing in the ‘00s and said, we like it lets do it better. Well by bringing in Brandon Weeden , Justin Blackmon and Joseph Randle they have a scoring machine, averaging over 50 pts a game. And Randle ranks 2nd in the Big 12 in rushing. Fantastic!
So Tech comes into this with a shredded defense, still questionable special teams and an offense that has managed to score 27 points in the last two games (and remember one of those games was Iowa State). I’m still waiting for the inevitable press release in December (assuming no bowl game) that Doege is hurt and that’s the real reason for the collapse so don’t worry next year will be different, purchase those season tickets now.
Hopefully Tech surprises everyone! They need one more win to be eligible for TicketCity or Pin Stripe Bowl.
