Cotton Club Crew #15: Here come the Mountaineers
Big 12 is finally upon us. First up for the Red Raiders is a date in Morgantown with West Virginia. Fresh off a victory in the Backyard Brawl, Neal Brown finally has a little momentum towards saving his job. West Virginia may be down a quarterback, but they have a lot to prove at home…. read more
Defensive Player of the Week: New position, no problem
Pass rush has been an issue this season. That is not a new revelation or secret to anyone who has followed this team. Against an overmatched opposing offensive line, one player who is rocking a new position this season made a name for himself. This week’s defensive player of the week is Myles Cole. The… read more
Taco Tuesday Mailbag: Quarterback controversy and rushing the field
The mailbag is back! You had questions, and we hopefully had some okay answers. The questions this week were all about the gridiron. What kind of leash should Shough have in Morgantown? What receivers should have their name called more? And what do I think about any team rushing the field for subpar opponents? All… read more
Offensive Player of the Week: Ground and Pound
The passing attack against Tarleton State was frankly anemic. But the ground game, the ground game shined. Obviously against an FCS opponent you can kind of bully-ball your way through the game. But, after weeks of not seeing any of the backs really even touch the ball this was a breath of fresh air. My… read more
Sober Up Recap: Texas Tech Manhandles FCS FOe
Well, Tech finally gets one in the win column! Granted the opponent left a lot to be desired, but still there was a lot to like in this one. The turnovers forced, the ground game popping, and finally getting a look at Behren Morton. Joe and Macon grade the offense and the defense, then break… read more
TTU Week 2 Defensive Player of the Week – Who stood out?
Though the Red Raiders now sit at a surprising 0-2 record, I honestly think the defense has faired pretty well for the most part. A couple of big plays have been given up here and there, but I do think the days of consistently allowing 550+ yards of offense is over with. After losing a… read more
Around the Big 12-Week 3
Welcome back for week three of Big 12 Football. Teams are starting to get a grasp on their identity, and, to be quite honest, some aren’t. But time doesn’t stop for the weak, and neither does our recap or look ahead. So let’s get to it. Kansas- The Jayhawks took care of Illinois after… read more
Texas Tech looks to bounce back as they welcome Tarleton State to Lubbock
I’m back again with another preview after what was just a heartbreaking loss for the Red Raiders against a tough Oregon Ducks squad. Tech looked fantastic at times and had a much better showing than they did against Wyoming, but it still wasn’t enough as the Red Raiders fell 38-30. It sucks, but that was… read more
Grading the Game #2: Oregon
Texas Tech performed top to bottom better against the Oregon Ducks. Unfortunately for the Red Raider faithful, they still fell just short in Week Two. The guys talk about what happened in this game at the positional level, grading the various group performances. They also grade both the offensive and defensive coordinator, and discuss what… read more
Offensive Player of the Week: The Tallest Man in West Texas
This week, there was a lot more just good offensively. Tyler Shough’s turnovers and the inability to let Tahj Brooks eat aside, the offense looked semi-competent. Which is a step towards greatness, and a big first step at that after the mess in Laramie. One position in particular that many fans had been calling to… read more
