Oklahoma State at Texas Tech Football Preview

Oklahoma State hits the road again this weekend against Texas Tech and the only thing anyone can really talk about is "Can the Red Raiders pull off the upset?" To be fair, there are some pretty serious implications this weekend for Oklahoma State. As is the case from here on out, lose and the dream is over.

Texas Tech has not been a very good team this year outside of the Sooner ass kicking but they are Texas Tech and the game is in Lubbock. Prior to the arrival of Tommy Tuberville, the general rule was we never beat Tech in Lubbock. Ever.

Welcome to the party Tubes!

We’ll see an 11am start on Saturday on ABC and as of right now the Cowboys are favored by 17 points.

You might not realize this if you live in Oklahoma, but Texas Tech is not a great football team. They pulled off the biggest upset of the year so far with a 41-38 win in Norman but that’s really all they’ve done. The Red Raiders have lost both games since, including a home loss to Iowa State and most recently a 52-20 ass kicking by the Longhorns.

Don Williams at LubbockOnline says the Red Raider defense is at a low point he hasn’t seen since 2003. We beat Texas Tech 51-49 in 2003 so here's to you Don!

Oklahoma State heads in to Saturday’s game fresh off a dog fight with Kansas State. The Red Raiders have given up at least 34 points in 7 straight games. I don’t expect that to change. I fully expect the usual suspects to play a big role in the outcome. Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon and Joseph Randle should all have big games.

Look for an especially big game by Joseph Randle. Texas Tech currently gives up over 200 yards per game and has surrendered 13 TD's. Texas gashed them for 439 yards and 6TD's last week.

Keep your eye on QB Seth Doege. This kid played a phenomenal game on the road against the "Sharks" of OU so the potential is there. He threw for 441 yards and 4 TD’s in that game without an interception. It’s gonna take a similar kind of day for the Red Raiders to pull the upset. The Oklahoma State defense cannot allow Doege to get into a rhythm and build confidence early.

Ultimately, I think the key matchup here is Weeden & Company vs. the Texas Tech Defense. If the Red Raiders can’t play better than 34 points and stop the run, they have very little chance of escaping with a W. Oklahoma State will keep the ball on the ground more than usual this week and run away with this one.

Final Score? 56-24

The only teams to score less than 34 on Tech this year:

New Mexico & Texas State. Even Kansas scored on them. Even if OSU’s D has a second really bad game in a row, the Offense should outscore Tech easily. BUT, I don’t think the D will be that bad. Chelf in at QB in the 3rd. Hershel Sims gets 117 yds 2 TD.

For what it's worth...

Agree on Sims

He should be in for a big day, especially if Smith doesn’t play. The thing I can’t get over with these guys is that they beat OU in Norman. HOW IN THE FUCK?

Ah, the 2003 Tech game.

If Yachoff could remember it, Yachoff wasn’t really there.

The smell of Tortillia’s was pungent upon the air that day friends. And talk was a commodity that grew cheaper by the hour as kickoff approached.
The game that taught us that we had a common foe in TT, that they were a bunch of secret self-hating, whiskey drenched, unleavened bread with AA -cell battery throwing freaks and that maybe we should hate them as much as OU.
The game featured more interceptions, poor pass coverages, and 80+ yard runs from scrimmage than any Christian game should allow. When the late afternoon sun fell, and we walked from the stadium victorious, 4 blocks away, you could hear Tech fans screaming obscenities from the unobstructed grandstand of the former Lewis Field. It was unreal.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to say hi and fuck y’all.

We’ll be cool after Saturday, right? This relationship is killing me, I have no idea how to update my Facebook to it’s complicated with OSU right now. Sluts, all of you. I love you.

Cheers and Wreck Em Tech.
