Texas Tech 6 Colorado 30

The only ones who saw this game were the ones who were there. I'm glad I didn't have to sit through this game. All I have to go on is they Yahoo play-by-play and that's not pretty. There were one or two plays with each drive where Tech got some decent yardage, but no sustainable drive. Todd replaced Harrell at the beginning of the second half and I think he put to rest any quarterback controvery. Both of these guys are stuggling and I'm not sure where to start.

Here's the box score.

Leach claims that it's a chemistry issue. I guess he's the only one who really knows that, but it's apparent that this frustation is boiling over. Here's just two events from this weekend, none of which involved Harrell flipping off a stadium.

"The frustrations were apparent. Split end Jarrett Hicks, held without a reception, had to be pulled away from fans who were taunting him as he walked toward the locker room. Backup offensive lineman Brandon Carter spit on a Colorado fan who was razzing him as Carter headed up the ramp."

Players and coaches are both frustrated. That may be both a good sign and a bad sign. It may be good in the sense that this team is ready to start working, simple fundamentals. It may be bad in the sense that players may want to give up on the season.

Here's some startling numbers:

Tech had 7 penalties, Colorado had 0.
Colorado ran for 249 yards.
Colorado averaged 8.9 yards per attempt.
Harrell had 3 interceptions.
Tech had 97 yards in the first half, total offense.
Tech did not have a touchdown for the first 3 quarters, a first in the Leach era.

From the number of rushing yards gained by Colorado, I'm assuming that Texas Tech still does not know how to properly tackle a football player. We should probably look into that pretty soon.
