UMass Couldn’t Stop Crabtree

UMass had no way to stop Texas Tech’s high powered offense. Michael Crabtree and the Red Raiders destroyed the Minutemen 56-14. Harrell had all day to throw and was spreading the ball to all his weapons. Crabtree ended the game with 5 receptions, 62 yards and a score.

Harrell hit Crabtree and Morris on touchdowns, giving Tech a 42-7 halftime lead. I had predicted a much bigger statistical performance from Crabtree but in a blowout like this, Leach wanted to get more players involved and didn’t need to rely on Crabtree carrying the load.

For those of you who missed the game, I’ve got a video that a fan shot of Crabtree’s score just before halftime. It’s a quick slant route over the middle of the field. No way to stop it.
