Texas Tech 42 Iowa State 26 - Recap
I listened to the entire game and from what I heard, Texas Tech has a fairly easy victory over Iowa State, although there are still a number of questions leading up to the Texas game.
Here's the box score. along with the AP write-up.
Tech was off to the races very early as Harrell lead Tech down the field for the first score to J. Filani for 30 yards. The problem without seeing this game is that I cannot recall if this was truly a big yardage play. My hope that it is, we need to open things up a bit in order to get the underneath stuff.
B. Stratton intercepts a B. Meyer pass, Stratton's first INT of the year, and 35 yards later, Filani has his second touchdown for 7 yards. ISU gets it's own TD and FG and after one Tech 3 and out, Harrell finds Amendola for 41 yards for another TD. The next possession, ISU drives, but is stalled, punts and Amendola and fumbles, this leads to an ISU touchdown. Amendola makes up for it a little later as Harrell finds him for a 9 yard TD, with a 43 yard pass to L.A. Reed being the component that gets Tech down the field.
A big part of ISU's first drive of the 2nd half was a Filani, roughing the punter penalty, which ended up leading to an ISU touchdown and, naturally, Tech responds with a 32 yard touchdown pass from Harrell to Woods. Prior to this score, the game was the closest it had been all day. At the end of the 3rd, Tech seemed to be firmly in control and Filani gets his 3rd TD of the game in the 4th quarter for Tech's only score.
As the DMN notes, Tech was a lot more footloose and fancy free this game. And Don Williams of the LAJ notes that at some points during the game, Tech used a defensive line that consisted of 4 defensive ends. The LAJ notebook goes into a little detail regarding the Ramirez injury, no one knows, and how Tech filled in for the injured OG. Also, this from Harrell in regards to his progressions on offense:
Finally, perhaps the biggest news, in the Big XII media day, Knight's press conference makes the New York Times, and Kevin Durant, UT freshman, thinks he's a rock star.

"Coach said, 'Don't concentrate on getting Hicks the ball. Just go through your reads, and let your reads take you to Hicks,''' Tech QB Graham Harrell said. "I think I did a better job going through my reads and getting him the ball when he was open.''A little bit from an ISU perspective, from the DesMoines Register.
