Thursday Night

Tim McMahon of the DMN is actually doing a little writing over at the news and he has an interesting take on the what Leach thought was the biggest differences between Harrell and Daniels. Leach perceived Daniels to be more of a running quarterback, but liked Harrell's accuracy. Tim has a follow up on the DMN blog about Leach not really seeing the need for a "strong-armed" QB, and honestly, I can't blame him. I believe that a quarterback's best asset is what's between the ears. Granted, he's got to be able to throw the ball, but all things being equal, it may be more important to have a smarter QB than a stronger QB. Tim steps it up further and 6 minutes later points out why Tech will never have a running QB in their system. Quite simply, that takes time away from the passing game. Last but not least, the Mizzou DB's will be very young on Saturday, much like last week.

A lot of love to Jarrett Hicks and his effect on the game. Leach has always maintained that for this offense to work properly, Texas Tech needs at least 4 quality receivers. Hicks' presence truly helps the rest of the receivers by taking pressure off of them.

I don't get this, this article was on the LAJ website. For whatever reason I thought it was blasphemy to have any articles other than articles about Tech on this website.
