Michael Crabtree help push the Texas Tech Red Raiders over the top of the Nevada Wolfpack in Saturday’s 35-19 victory. Crabtree finished the game strong with 7 receptions, 158 yards (including a long of 82 yards) and 1 touchdown. He double his yardage from week 1. In addition to his 82 yard catch, Crabtree also had a 50 yarder that almost went in for a score, but was stopped just short of the goal on the 1 yard line.
Texas Tech has one of the most high powered offenses in the NCAA. However, they started the game off slow and were only up by 5 points heading into the half. “We just had a miscommunication earlier,” Harrell said. “It just seemed like we were a little off all night. We missed some opportunities and it was frustrating. But we knew we could get it if we tried again.”
It’s great to see Crabtree return to his 2007 form. Even though he had a ton of catches last week, we missed those big play catches. We saw two plays of 50+ yards against Nevada, and that’s what we’re used to.
