Thursday Night

I will not be around to post a game day thread as I'm going out of town for the weekend. The DVR is set to record the game and I have made arrangements to watch the game.

The DMN has had better coverage than the LAJ, which seems odd, and has a nice article on Hicks' return. We actually get some quotes from Hicks himself and he talks about earning his job, which after watching the TCU fiasco, this shouldn't be too difficult. Chip Brown, I guess, is going to be covering the Big 12 from this point forward and he writes about the young Big 12 quarterbacks, being led by Harrell, McGee and Chase Daniel, from MU.

A Q and A session from the LAJ, but I would expect with a game this big this weekend that we'd have a few more features from the LAJ.

Tim Griffin from the EN, is predicting another Tech victory, albeit a very close one. He notes that one of the keys to victory is that Tech has played two very tough road games already. I tend to agree with this notion. A new writer from the EN, Brent Zwerneman, at least to me, talks how this game is very important to Franchione. Is it possible he pushes his team a little too much this week?

The Chronicle has an article about how A&M hopes to stop Tech. I often believe that in games like this commentators generally like to say, "It's Tech's offense against a A&M's defense." Typically, I tend to take the opposite approach. It's not the Tech offense I'm worried about, despite TCU, it's the Tech defense and their ability to stop the run. Conversely, I wouldn't be that worried about A&M's defense as they clearly have talent, but rather, whether the offense has enough to keep A&M off the field. In other words, it's the weakness of the team that's the key because that's the one variable.

Finally, from the DMN college blog, my favorite source of news, is about Michael Crabtree and how he's tearing up the Thursday scrimmages. This seems insignificant, but Tech doesn't have a choice about reloading WR's next year. We need some special WR's to really make this offense click. They're hoping that he will be able to play basketball this year. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Wednesday Notes

Lots of things today. First off, there's quite a bit on the rivalry between Tech and A&M. The first bit is from the DMN, which points out that Tech is on quite a roll in regards to recent history, but that A&M is more of a traditional powerhouse. I especially like this note from the DMN college blog.

The idea that A&M has, according to the experts, better players only gives credence that Tech is doing a better job of taking what they have and doing more with it. Let's face it, I truly believe that the perfect thing about the spread offense is that it allows less talented teams to compete with more talented teams. A spread offense can take a quarterback with average physical skills, but a high football IQ and can turn this into a dangerous offense. This of course doesn't take into consideration the idea that as this team wins, more talented teams will go to that school and eventually that team can compete with some of the best teams in the nation. I've always thought that this was Leach's plan from the beginning, and it's all starting to come into focus.

Lagrone Shields, a DT from Memphis, TN committed to Tech, which seems to be the most important note in the LAJ Notebook.

The EN notes that Harrell has become, at the urging of Leach, the team leader. As I said before, nothing that Leach does surprises me and last week's rantings were all part of his plan to make one attempt at motivating the team. Having Harrell be this team's leader makes perfect sense, he's going to be around for a while.

In addition to the above referenced article, the EN has another article about the matchup between Tech's offense and A&M's defense. Gary Darnell recognizes that it's the YAC that affect teams:

"The mark of a real defense is how tough you are when the ball is in the air," Darnell said. "(Texas Tech) doesn't beat you throwing the football. They beat you after they catch the ball."

Leach also poked fun of A&M last year and agrees that A&M's defense is better than it was last year.

Tuesday Before Texas A&M

No posts last night, watched almost the entirety of the Saints/Falcons game.

This is such a delicious match-up and I actually believe that playing in Ft. Worth and in El Paso will help this team in College Station.

A nice perspective on the offense taking note that they have to focus and that they key to the offense is to spread the ball around to everyone. The main issue was Harrell focusing on Johnson and Filani too much.

Chip Brown goes into some detail regarding the budding (relatively speaking) rivalry between Tech and A&M.

In the EN, there's an Aggie Insider and the Aggies seem to be a little giddy about the game. I would think that they'd be taking this a little more serious. The EN also has a really nice write up on some uncommitted recruits.

Finally, in a note from the Springfield News Leader, Tech and Mizzery will be on television Saturday, October 5th on TBS.

Texas Tech 62 SE Louisiana 0

The return of Jarrett Hicks

This was expected. I honestly wasn't sure about holding SE Louisiana scoreless, but we did and kudos to the defense, but there was really nothing else we could have expected. From all accounts, the offense was very efficient as Harrell lead the team to scores on 6 of their first 7 possessions.

I think that I've gotten a little more insight to the game from the DMN blog and not the DMN game wrap. Robert Johnson, Joel Filani and Todd Walker were briefly benched for the game, but it was Walker who eventually scored on the first possession. Ofa Mohetau was benched, briefly by RS freshman, Brandon Carter. And G. January's injury doesn't appear to be too serious.

The DMN, the only newspaper with an actual reporter, Tim MacMahon, assigned to the game, gives us this recap. MacMahon also gives us some notes, most of which he mentioned in the DMN blog.

The LAJ has a really nice slideshow of the band and some photos from the game. And the game recap. We also learn that Seth Nitschmann finally got a little PT after sitting out the first 3 games and Brandon Jones learns a new position.

Saturday Morning Preview - SE Louisiana v. Tech

The DMN has a preview of tonight's game, predicting a 63-3 whipping.

The Houston Chronicle also has a preview with no prediction on the score.

Finally, the EN predicts Tech to win, 70-0.

I can never get a good handle how these games will turn out. Honestly, I seriously doubt that this will do anything to prepare Tech for A&M next week. I will try to post the game day thread at game time, otherwise I'll post the Yahoo link.

Friday Updates

Hicks gets to play. This would have been a decision that would have come in handy last week, nevertheless he's here now. Apparently, some of the blame is on Tech as they submitted additional information on Thursday and the NCAA then reversed their decision. The story even gets ESPN coverage.


A really good article on the LAJ regarding some of the progress of some of Tech's freshman and question and answer session.

Tim Griffin of the EN breaks down this week's Leach "meltdown". Once again, I'm not sure that this could be coined as a meltdown and I also believe that nothing that Leach does is without forethought. I truly believe that he intended to say all of this, thus it really doesn't qualify as a meltdown.

Leach will be the subject of an NFL Films story, which really picques my interest.

Wednesday Notes

A couple of notes from the DMN recruiting blog. The first one on of Tech's QB commits, Stefan Loucks. In 3 games Loucks has already put up 1,230 yards, which is 410 yards a game. This blurb also discusses why Tech did not offer Brock Mansion a scholarship. Texas Tech's rationale: the coaches are enamored with numbers. The second note mentions Tech's commitment to Seth Doedge after he tore his ACL.

The LAJ has the only other notes on Tech today and it's more of the same, Leach is serious about benching some players who aren't playing to their full potential.

It's time to move on, as I said before, I think that it's good that Leach is threatening these guys with the only thing they value, playing time. It is a true motivator, we'll see if it works this week and the following weeks.

Tuesday Before Southeastern Louisiana

The best news blurbs today are from the AV where Leach goes into detail regarding Tech's meltdown with some really good quotes from Mike:

"I saw a bunch of prima donna pretty boys prancing around like they thought they were too good to be there," Leach said. "And then when we got hit in the mouth, they looked surprised and frustrated, like this isn't supposed to happen. Like didn't (Tech players') press agent talk to TCU and let them know how good they were and what they did last year? Then they got frustrated like they were too good to fight back. I mean, we didn't even fight back."

Additionally, Leach addresses some of the comments from Whitmore as to whether or not teams have "figured out" Tech's offense:

Have other teams caught on to Tech?

"It's a stupid question," Leach said. "I try to be polite and answer it, but it's very difficult to kind of not roll your eyes at the thing. There's nothing wrong with the scheme. How it's applied, how you play, how hard you try, yeah, that's infested with problems right now.

"If it's so easy to lead the nation in stuff, everybody would do that. But the thing is, I think we have an entitlement syndrome around here and think that everything's easy and don't understand that to get anything, you fight for it."

The reality is that I'm still really impressed with Leach's response. Call out the players and let them make a stand. The only thing that I've given some thought since yesterday is the idea that this may be his one bite at the apple, and during the course of a year I think that this is all that a football coach gets in terms of challenging his players. Anything where he questions the integrity of the team will eventually fall on deaf ears and we'll just have to look forward to next year.

Leach is also not following the Hicks saga and it doesn't sound positive.

One basketball note, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle, Tech has 3 of the top 15 players committed next year.

Monday Notes

Lots of notes from the DMN blog and Keith Whitmore:

The key to stopping Tech, pressure defense.

Some very public criticism of Tech's player's by Leach. You really don't see coaches really make the team responsible, but maybe Leach has reached his boiling point. I taught high school English for a period of time, and I found that they best method to get a kid to do what he or she needed to do was to either publicly call them out and let them know, in front of everyone that they were the cause for their actions.

The offense has no opportunity to defend itself. Like I said. Most of these guys are adults and at some point they need to be responsible for their actions. You silence people with your performance. This is their chance to do that.

That's it for today, I'm still reeling over the loss. I take them too hard and too personal. Thus, on different note, Knight has signed a pretty important recruit. Go Raiders . . .

Texas Tech 3 TCU 12

Ugh. What a horrible loss. Tech did one-half of what I thought might happen in the game. I thought that the Tech defense would come up with enough stops to come away with a win. Unfortunately, I did not predict complete and total ineptitude from Texas Tech's offense. It wasn't just one thing, it seemed to be a number of things that went wrong. Johnson and Filani couldn't catch. That's a huge problem. Harrell could not keep the defense honest, and at times the strong safety was in the box, leaving the middle of the field completely wide open for someone to make a play. In other words TCU knew that Tech would not go deep and they gambled on getting pressure on Harrell would result in poor decisions. Not necessarily decisions that resulted in turnovers, but decisions that resulted in negative to little yardage gains. I really wanted to see crossing routes over the middle or a deep corner route, but instead merely got sideline outs with little or no gain.

I'm beginning to wonder the long-term effect of Hick's absence due to the NCAA. He could have cleared up a number of these items as I believe him to be more surehanded than not and has the ability to stretch the defense a little more than Filani and Johnson.

Checklist for new recruit: speed receiver who can stretch the field.

The defense played surprisingly well, as I've said before, I believe that Tech's defense is much improved, we seem to be bigger and faster on all fronts. I really have no complaint with the method in which the defense played.

I thought the defense played really well, despite the fact that Kellen Tillman made one of the dumbest plays I've ever witnessed, he intentionally gave what looked to be a forearm shiver to a TCU player going out of bounds. I thought he deserved to be thrown out of the game, classless act.

Louis Vasquez was injured and that may have precipitated quite a few of our problems on offense, from a protection standpoint, but I certainly doubt that this was the major cause for the offensive woes.

Game Day Thread - Texas Tech v. TCU

Since I'll be at the game I won't have time to put up the box score link, so here's the Yahoo link and click on Box Score to follow the game.

Go Raiders . . .

Saturday Morning Preview - Tech v. TCU

The DMN predicts a Tech victory and states that the key matchup is Tech's WRs against TCU's redshirt freshman corners.

The EN notes that TCU has the nation's longest winning streak and it would be so sweet to break that today.

The Houston Chronicle has a preview of today's game as well and notes that Graham Harrell and Robert Johnson are the keys to victory. That's crazy, Tech's QB and best WR are the keys to a game? I never would have thought that the QB for Tech, who normally leads the nation in offense, would be an important player for Tech. Thanks.

The AJ notes that TCU is excited to be playing a top 25 team.

The key for me will be Tech being able to stop TCU's offense, plain and simple we need more rain and we need more 3 and outs. The defensive line has to be big, has to get to Ballard and put some pressure on him. The secondary has to do a better job of jamming the WR's at the line of scrimmage.

Friday Updates

There's a couple of articles regarding Tech's defense. The first being from the DMN talks of Tech possibly being lulled into thinking they were a little better than what they actually were after playing SMU. Tech is claiming that most of the mistakes were mental, I tend to err on the side that I think that most of the mistakes were simply not tackling well and letting UTEP's WR's run all over the field without breaking up their rhythm or simply laying a hit on they (i.e., we might miss Slay).

The Avalanche-Journal notes that Setencich understands that a successful season will hinge upon the play of the defense, which is exactly right. I certainly like the idea of making the defense accountable. Without this type of responsibility the defense could skate through the season, letting them know that the season depends just as much on them as the offense is important to establish early.

A decent article from the AV regarding Shannon Woods and his play to date.

A pretty decent observation from Tim Griffin, of the Express-News, regarding Harrell.

"Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell appears to be the perfect fit in the Red Raiders'’ offense. Not only does he have a quick release (only one sack in 101 pass attempts) but he seems to have a significantly better deep arm than his predecessor, Cody Hodges. Look for Coach Mike Leach to try to exploit TCU'’s defense with a more vertical passing game than he’s used earlier in the season."

I couldn't agree more, it was evident during the UTEP game that Harrell has a better arm and may be just as athletic as Hodges. I truly believe that Tech is blessed with outstanding quarterbacks for the next 3 or 4 years. It would certainly be worth it for Tech to try and throw deep, Filani has the ability to jump up and over defenders and his height is such an asset that Tech should take advantage of it.

Wednesday Notes

This concerns me a little bit. When I first clicked on the link which was to be the early commitments for Tech, I was a little excited. First, I am expecting an even better class than the one last year simply because Tech is in the limelight now more than ever and I truly believe that we're a more high profile program. Well, according to this writer, it seems as if every one of the early commitments is nothing to get excited about. I hope this is just his opinion and that the class grades out to be much better than Mr. McCarney has opined.

DMN has a nice article on Kellen Tilllman and his rebound from tearing ACL's in his right and left leg to become the starting strongside linebacker.

Safety Anthony Hines returns from being stabbed.

Seth Doege, QB from Frenship, commits to Tech for 2008.

Also, Todd Wills on the DMN Recruiting Blog has some nice things to say about Tech recruit, John Roberson.

Tuesday Before TCU

The Star Telegram echoes my sentiments from the other day regarding Tech's receivers, they're good. All kidding aside, I think that you would be hard pressed to find a more talented group of receivers from top to bottom, and of coarse we really aren't even considering Hicks and what he would mean to this team.

The Avalanche-Journal has a few notes regarding Tech's defense, or lack thereof. Leach, I think, realizes that Tech really needs to make some significant improvements. Personally, I'd love to see more of a pass rush, which I think would imrpove a lot of the defense's woes. I think they're close, they just need to get better as quickly as possible. Also in this same article, another WR, Michael Crabtree, a freshman from Carter has been cleared by the NCAA to enroll at Tech. The idea is that he's not cleared to play, yet, and if he doesn't get cleared to play until next year then this year will merely count as a redshirt and he won't lose any eligibility.

Fox Sports has a decent preview of this weekend's game, focusing more on the TCU angle than the Tech angle.

Monday Notes

Joel Filani.

I wasn't able to sleep Saturday night, there was just too much running through my head as I tried to go to beach after Saturday night's game. In retrospect I really simply want Tech to be able to put teams like UTEP away, early. I really want the defense to step it up, as I said before, I can't remember a defensive line that was bigger or a faster linebacking crew that our current defense.

On to TCU. I will be attending this game and I'll try to take as many pictures as possible.

The DMN college blog has some Tech notes. Chuck Carlton has some quotes as to Leach's true feelings towards the new clock rules, including, "I think simply stated that it’s the stupidest rule to come out in a significantly long time." Whitemore talks about the pants fiasco and TCU likes to hide Tech's most recent victory against TCU.

CB Chris Parker has an undisclosed injury.

The Express hands game of the week honors to Graham Harrell.

Harrell expresses what I believe Tech should take from the UTEP game. Be glad we got a victory, no matter how you slice it, and realize that Tech is a long ways away from being a truly complete team.

TCU remembrs the 70-35 thrashing two years ago and they believe that this a victory against Tech may help them get a BCS bid.

In non-football related news, Tech got an oral commitment from John Roberson, a guard from Plano.

Harrell's Poise

The San Antonio Express News seconds my thought about Harrell's poise throughout the game.

Another game summary from Red Raiders.

That Was A Shocker

I cannot believe that game. Completely shocked by a number of things, including the outcome. Let's get to the things that I liked as I watched the game, things I didn't like and finally links to game stories.

Liked:

1. I like Filani's play. It seems to be Tech's m.o. to have one receiver really step up and he did. Johnson' played well too, but most of his big plays were called back (i.e. two touchdowns).
2. The defensive line seemed to play decent, but if Tech only rushed 4, they were not going to get to the quarterback. They needed that extra push from another blitzer.
3. Happy to see every kickoff in the endzone. Some NFL team will appreciate that.
4. Harrell was okay, but not great. Once again, he didn't seem to force things, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Beautiful touch on the fade route to Johnson and Filani. I'd like to see Amendola get more involved.
5. Offensive line provided decent protection. Didn't really seem like Harrell was being harassed much.
6. Woods was really good, runs hard, which is the one thing I look for in a running back.
7. The defense looks bigger and faster.
   

Don't Like:

1. Too many costly penalties. I think Tech was given a few penalties on UTEP's pass interference.
2. Overall the defense was giving up too much. They play the spread every day in practice and they couldn't seem to stop it. UTEP had two wideouts with some talent, Higgins and Sam. You would think that keying on them was a priority, but it didn't seem to be throughout the entire game.
3. The "give but don't break" defense played at the end of the 2nd quarter and 4th quarter was horrible. I'd rather Tech just line it up and make an attempt to keep the opponent out of the endzone rather than simply let them walk in.

I continually shook my head in disbelief the entire game. I initially thought that there's really no way that UTEP should be able to compete. Palmer seems like an average QB at best, he seemed capable only making the short throws and nothing else. Anything deep was not even close. He's not a quarterback that should beat Tech. Aside from two plays that just made us look foolish, the WR pass and the onside kick, Tech really seemed to be in control of the game. I like that Harrell didn't seem to be affected by all of the pressure

Trlica really seemed to take those field goals he missed personally. On some level I really like that, but on other, I really need him not to be so affected by a missed field goal.

I hated their uniforms, and according to RedRaider, they were supposed to have been in all white except for the helmet, which would have looked much better. The three color look is not a good look and seems very high school.

I will be at the game next week, but I really need for that defense to come together and I need the NCAA to decide on Hicks' fate. I thought that Tech could have used him, if nothing else as a threat opposite Filani and Johnson.

I believe that having these big receivers help tremendously with yards after catch. I love the Welker's and Walker's of the world, but having a big powerful receiver is an incredible weapon and can be a tremendous threat.

Yahoo's game recap from the AP that has some nice quotes from Trlica.

Whitmore at DMN was obviously up against a deadline and there are no quotes, but a good article nonetheless, detailing the insanity of that 3rd and 4th quarter as well as the OT.

The Avalanche-Journal has an article giving some praise to Price's offensive play calling.

Just consider yourself lucky on this one and hope that Tech is a little more focused against TCU.

09-09-2006 Tech v. UTEP Game Day Thread

Go Raiders . . .

Saturday Morning Preview - UTEP v. Tech

I'll throw up the game link later today.

We have a couple of previews this morning, all predicting a Tech victory, in some manner or another. The San Antonio Express-News noting that UTEP is 10-2 at home with Price as the head coach and has lost 7 straight against ranked teams.

Yahoo has a preview up and has a lot of regurgitated quotes from last week's game.

The DMN is predicting the easiest victory, and says that the key match-up will be the Tech's defensive backs versus Palmer. The DMN also has an additional article on Tech's recent struggles on the road. Whitmore notes that this is the first nonconference home game since a loss to New Mexico, two years ago.

EDIT: It took a while, but the Avalanche-Journal finally got their content up and running. A few nice quotes on today's game as well as a comment by Leach where he acknowledges the progress that Harrell is making in checking off plays at the line of scrimmage. A preview of positions for tonight's game, which by the way is on CSTV at 7:00 p.m. CST.

Friday Night

There aren't just a lot of articles out there today or tonight. The Avalanche-Journal has some general notes on Tech, but nothing really earth-shattering.

I was really expecting something out of DMN. The Star-Telegram has a preview of tomorrow night's game. Jordan Palmer, this guy's brother, had his share of trouble last week against San Diego State. It would be really nice if Tech could capitalize on some of Palmer's mistakes. Despite UTEP's more experienced quarterback, I still like Tech's talent overall this week. Admittedly, I really know nothing about UTEP other than Palmer is their QB and Price is their coach. I hope to have more posted tomorrow morning.

I also loved watching Wes Welker play last night, giving credence to the idea that if you can catch the ball and you know how to run routes and quite simply play football then you can make it to the NFL. Tape of that game should be shown to each and every one of Tech's receivers

Wednesday Notes

Keith Whitmore who is the DMN reporter assigned to Tech, and by all account I think he does a decent job. At one time the DMN used to do a weekly report, but apparently, due to lack of interest it was stopped. Nevertheless, Whitmore has some news and notes on Tech and this week's game. Most notably, the emergence of Johnson as a stud receiver.

I've always thought that Tech should be producing some real quality receivers in the NFL and I believe that this will start next year. I always have a tough time judging speed in the collegiate ranks, but it seems to me that there's just too many guys who are big receivers and can catch the ball.

Another game recap from last week by the El Paso Times.

Finally, Leach is a little aggravated that the NCAA has delayed Hick's return as it appears they've been sitting on this for a while.

Tuesday Before UTEP

A couple of articles on Tech, in the first Leach comments that the new clock rules for college football are "just dumb", and after watching a couple of games this weekend I seem to agree. I also heard a mention on one of the local radio stations that the in booth replay official is a local official, which really is only a recipe for disaster when a controversial call is overturned due and the fans claim home cooking. Leach also gives some praise to Johnson for his tremendous effort in last week's game.

DMN comments on Tech's defense and the youthful infusion of talent into Tech's playing rotation.

And in El Paso, Coach Price gives Tech some bulletin board material, "It's going to be a beautiful Saturday night; I guarantee it." Nevertheless, he deflects and says that the pressure is on Tech to win, which it is. This is one of those games where it should be an easy victory for Tech, and my hopes is that the offense clicks a little bit more than it did last week.

Derek Shaw Walks on at Tech

While flipping through my Sporting News magazine I noticed that Tech was mentioned as part of the Arizona State controversy. I caught some of this on Dan Patrick's radio show, of course while in between BAD Radio last week during my lunch hour. Apparently all of this deals with the highly talented QB for ASU, Rudy Carpenter, a red-shirt freshman, as he was named as the starter for the Sun Devils. The problem with all of this is that Sam Keller was a 5th year senior and slated to start, but was supplanted by the freshman. Keller went on to transfer to Nebraska, but in addition to this, Derek Shaw has walked on at Tech. The problem of course is that Shaw is behind redshirt sophomore Graham Harrell and redshirt freshman Chris Todd, who is supposed to be an amazing talent. Here's the story from the Lubbock Avalanche Journal, and below is the entire blurb from Sporting News:

"More on the soap opera that is the Arizona State quarterback situation: Derek Shaw was one of the top three quarterback recruits in the nation going into last season. He committed to Miami but eventually signed with Arizona State. After a year at Arizona State, Shaw left (even he saw the potential of then-freshman QB Rudy Carpenter) and walked on at Texas Tech -- where he's sitting out a season and watching sophomore Graham Harrell and redshirt freshman Chris Todd compete for the starting spot. Shaw might never play again. Meanwhile, besides Carpenter, the Sun Devils have only one scholarship quarterback on the roster, freshman Danny Sullivan, because Sam Keller transferred to Nebraska. Considering the recent history of injuries to ASU quarterbacks (see: Jeff Krohn, Andrew Walter, Keller), Shaw's decision looks more flawed. At least ASU recently received a commitment from Nick Foles, one of the top quarterback recruits in Texas. ..."

I realize that I'm more than a month late on this news, but thought it interesting enough that this made a national publication like the Sporting News.

Texas Tech 35 SMU 3

EDIT: I cannot help but notice the lack of coverage for Texas Tech, and it's not that I necessarily believe that the public is clammoring for a place to go regarding Texas Tech football, so I thought that I could do a little something about providing some blog content regarding Texas Tech. Raider Red Nation was a default name as it appears that most of the good names for a blog have been taken, and until I think of something more clever, this will be it.

I want to go on the record that I am not a good trash talker, and I really don't want this blog to be a "I'm better than you" type of blog. It's intent is to be an aggregation of Texas Tech sports news (mostly men's basketball and football). One place to go to find most, if not all, of the Texas Tech articles posted in one spot. I'll try and provide some insightful comments on what's happening with the team.

I'll also be posting a game day thread if anyone wants to comment on the game. I that I do not have the opportunity to go most of the games, but I'll watch as many as I can on television and what I can't watch I'll try to provide as many links as possible to stories.

Game one of the 2006 season is in the books and from the looks of things, this appears to have been a fairly easy victory.
