QUOTE (pysex @ Sep 12 2006, 01:02 PM) i don't know so far it's been a weird start this year we almost lose to utep tcu almost loses to baylor tennessee almost loses to the air force georgia tech nearly defeats notre dame and texas gets their ass handed to them by osu pretty sick stuff While Most are surprised at the UTEP game, at the same time UTEP has been a decent team for a while TCU plays in a cupcake division. They are all hype, how is them having a struggle with Baylor THAT weird ? Georgia Tech was a Giant Slayer last year. Last year they went like 8-4, and 2 of those victories were Auburn and one of the big Florida teams. Why is UT losing to OSU surprising ? The only surprising thing was that they won by so much. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

QUOTE Texas Tech (2-0) at TCU (2-0) 5:30 pm EST CSTV Saturday, September 16th
Why to watch: 70-35. When these two met in 2004, Texas Tech ripped apart a Horned Frog team hoping for a big season. That was the beginning of the end to a disappointing year, but TCU bounced back with a fantastic 2005 on the way to the nation's longest winning streak at 12 games after beating Baylor and UC Davis without much of a problem. The Texas Tech game doesn't just represent the team's main chance at national respect, it also kicks off a brutal three-game stretch that'll make or break the season with BYU and Utah to follow. Texas Tech got pushed to the wall last week in a 38-35 overtime win over UTEP. With SE Louisiana next week, a win over TCU means it'll be a 4-0 start going into the Big 12 opener at Texas A&M. Why Texas Tech might win: TCU got a bit of a dry run against a Texas Tech-like offense when it played Baylor, and it allowed 286 passing yards and a score. Texas Tech's attack is a wee bit sharper than BU's. The Horned Frog secondary will give up yards and the line isn't generating nearly enough pressure considering the talent up front. If Red Raider QB Graham Harrell gets a little bit of time, he'll pick apart TCU all game long. In the first two games, Harrell has been sacked just once. Why TCU might win: TCU's defense might not be making too many plays in the backfield, but Texas Tech's defense is doing absolutely nothing to get to the quarterback with no sacks and not nearly enough consistent pressure. Its not like there haven't been chances; UTEP's Jordan Palmer threw it 5 times last week. TCU's secondary will get beat from time to time, but it'll also come up with some big plays with three interceptions so far. Who to watch: Can Aaron Brown continue to carry the TCU running game? The team's great stable of backs has been quickly diminished with Lonta Hobbs hobbling with a foot injury and Robert Merrill struggling through a back problem. Brown has grown into a strong receiver with nine catches for 166 yards, but he only has 122 rushing yards. TCU needs both dimensions to keep the offense moving. Texas Tech RB Shannon Woods has been solid so far in place of Taurean Henderson running the ball, but he hasn't quite added the same flash as a receiver. He has the speed, and now he has to start getting the ball in space so he can make more big plays. What will happen: TCU's offense will get its licks in, and the secondary will come up with at least two interceptions, but it won't be enough. Tech will start a pace the Horned Frogs won't be able to keep up with. CFN Prediction: Texas Tech 31 ... TCU 24 ... Line: Texas Tech -2 Must See Rating: (5 skip the birth of your first born - 1 Dancing with the Stars) ... 3.5 -------------------- bored...so i did this

I really fail to see how the matchup is supposed to be so close. It's extremely obvious that TCU has no pass defense...
so uhhhhhhhhhhhh And while the Tech defense is looking bad, I'll take a shootout of receivers vs runningbacks anyday*. But who knows, we'll see soon enough. Tech could decide to blow the season early rather than lose to some gimp later in the season ! *day with no Adrian Peterson -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |
