Saturday Morning Preview - Texas Tech v. Iowa State

Lots of previews this morning.

The DMN is predicting a Tech victory, they see the most important matchup to be between ISU defensive tackle Curvey and Tech OG Ramirez. Personally, I am beginning to have my doubts about whether or not, one on one, Tech can handle a really good defender. We'll see. Also note that the player who needs to step it up is Hicks. Hicks is playing for the NFL and I'd like to see him a little more serious about getting open. Don't get me wrong, Harrell has a lot to do with this equation as well, but the receivers need to find a way to get open. Here are the staff predictions.

The LAJ game preview link has gone bad, so we have an article from Don about the need for both teams to control their turnovers. Bill Parcells makes usually makes it a point every year to discuss how the team with the fewest turnovers wins 80% (or some ridiculous stat) of their games.

Tim Griffin of the EN is predicting a little more lopsided Tech victory.

The Chronicle has no prediction but a small preview.

ISU is getting prepared for the pass, and rightfully so. Tech has got to get their passing attack underway for them to have a chance.

Small Des Moines Register preview with article about aforementioned DT Curvey.

My prediction: I still don't have a lot of confidence in the offense, yet I'm going to predict that Tech will score 4 touchdowns - Texas Tech 28, Iowa State 17.
