The Dallas Morning News had an article yesterday stating:

This is Texas Tech’s final nonconference game before opening Big 12 play at Kansas State on Oct. 4. Graham Harrell and his potent receiving corps are trying to find their way out of Mike Leach’s doghouse. Leach unloaded on his quarterback and receivers for poor passing and dropped balls after a 43-7 win over SMU last week.

It’s hard to imagine a coach getting on a team that put up 43 points and a receiver that had eight catches for 164 yards and three touchdowns. But I guess this is just Leach’s way of firing up Michael Crabtree and the rest of the Red Raiders. He’s trying to kick them down before they start thinking they’re hot shit and can beat anyone. A coach never wants his team too confident.

So Texas Tech is hosting UMASS on Saturday at 7:00 EST. There’s no line on the game, which means that it’s going to be a BLOWOUT! Could be 63-3 or something. Crabtree is going to have a monster game that’s for sure. I’m predicting 10 catches for 185 yards and 3 touchdowns.

What do you think?
