Texas Tech and the 3-4 Defense

Comments 13 comments so far January 21, 2010 by Steve Hanway

The 3-4 defense (which uses 3 defensive linemen and a linebacker) is a rarity in college football but prevalent in the NFL. Interestingly, one of the major factors in why NFL teams run a 3-4 is cost. That is, the...

Texas Tech Tabs Talented Tommy Tuberville

*Editor's Note: This headline brought to you by Mr. T. Not the guy who played Clubber Lang in Rocky 3, but rather the puppet who made the same sound that starts "tall teeth". If you grew up in the midwest...

Mike Leach Firing Provides Perspective

Comments 30 comments so far January 8, 2010 by Steve Hanway

Unless you've spent the last few weeks ice-fishing in Antarctica, you've heard all about Mike Leach's termination as head coach at Texas Tech. In his own defense, Leach pointed out that the 84 wins the Red Raiders accumulated in his...

Texas Tech Post-Mortem

Comments 6 comments so far October 19, 2009 by Tom Cudd

Fire Shawn Watson. Fire Barney Cotton. Fire Carl Pelini, heck fire Bo Pelini. While we're at it, bench all the starters. Put in every true freshman so that they can get four years of on-field experience. Run the zone read...

Comments 10 comments so far October 18, 2009 by Jason Siffring

Lack of Execution Dooms Huskers

Comments 13 comments so far October 17, 2009 by Steve Hanway

If you were told the Huskers would hold Texas Tech to 258 total yards this week, you'd think that would mean a victory for Nebraska. You'd be wrong....

Nebraska Offense Sputters in Loss to Texas Tech

Comments 15 comments so far October 17, 2009 by Darren K. Carlson

Backup running back Rex Burkhead is out of commission for a few weeks. Can you name the other six Huskers on the roster that might step in to fill that role? If not, you might want to print this...

Tech Turning Point?

Comments 4 comments so far October 16, 2009 by Darren K. Carlson

Local fans and national media types are both looking at last Thursday's win over Missouri as a turning point for the Nebraska football program under Bo Pelini. It makes good sense, since the Tigers were ranked and NU was playing...

Plan of Attack: Texas Tech Red Raiders

Comments 9 comments so far October 15, 2009 by Brandon Vogel

Have you enjoyed all the national attention Nebraska's received this week courtesy of Ndamukong Suh? Big Mr. Suh and the not quite ready for Blackshirts players passed their first major test of the season against a prolific Missouri offense last...

Mike Leach Lacking Something

Comments 9 comments so far October 13, 2009 by Steve Hanway

Texas Tech's Mike Leach is a different kind of coach. And while many people are defined by what they are, Leach at times seems defined by what he lacks. Tact, for example. While most coaches would be careful about taunting...

Texas Tech No Joke

Comments 18 comments so far October 12, 2009 by Steve Hanway

Mike Leach might have done Nebraska a favor when he ran the score up on Kansas State this past weekend. The Huskers victory at Missouri was so exciting, that it might have made the players lose focus on the next...

Texas Tech May Determine the North Champion

Comments 5 comments so far July 6, 2009 by Steve Hanway

A lot of people are pointing to Nebraska’s contest at Kansas on November 14th as being decisive in determining the Big 12 North champion. As those teams seem to be the favorites to win the division, that seems like a...

Comments 2 comments so far October 16, 2008 by Steve Hanway

As the Huskers have struggled through a long streak of losing to top ten teams, fans have called for a “signature win� under their new head coach (whether it was Callahan or Pelini). While most would agree that the Huskers...

Heartbreaking Progress is Still Progress

Comments 8 comments so far October 11, 2008 by Steve Hanway

A week ago, Nebraska was not competitive in Lincoln against a top ten team. They surrendered 52 points, were outgained by nearly the length of an entire football field, committed another football field’s worth of penalties, and lost by five...

Pelini Era Truly Begins With Loss to Texas Tech

Comments 9 comments so far October 11, 2008 by Brandon Vogel

Nebraska fans aren't fond of moral victories and I'm no different. The Cornhuskers should have beaten Texas Tech. They out-yarded them (471-421), they had more first downs (32-19), they dominated time of possession and they had the ball last in...

Not Looking Forward to Saturday

It’s not often I find myself dreading a Nebraska game, but truthfully I look forward to the game against the Red Raiders with no anticipation. Thank God I’m not a football coach....

A Moral Victory is Possible

Comments 9 comments so far October 6, 2008 by Steve Hanway

There is probably a sizable number of Husker fans that would disagree with the notion, not wanting to admit it or consider it, but a close loss in Lubbock this week would probably constitute a moral victory for Nebraska....

Big 12 Recruiting Roundup: Texas Tech

Comment 1 comment so far February 22, 2008 by Steve Hanway

Texas Tech isn’t getting a lot of love for its class of fifteen recruits. When you only graduate 12 seniors though, you don’t have room to grab 25 or thirty guys. You could criticize the Red Raiders for not grabbing...

Big 12 State of the Union: Texas Tech

Comment 1 comment so far February 1, 2008 by Steve Hanway

A year ago, I dismissed Texas Tech as a going nowhere program content to play in minor bowls and never a serious threat to win the Big 12. While my view hasn’t shifted radically, it’s hard for a Nebraska fan...

2007 Opponent Preview…Texas Tech

Comment 1 comment so far August 3, 2007 by Steve Hanway

While the chances of Nebraska facing Texas Tech seem remote, it’s not impossible (like a Baylor championship game appearance would be). The Red Raiders will have a good offense. They always do. But with only five returning starters from...

Big 12 Classes of 2007: Texas Tech

Comments 3 comments so far February 23, 2007 by Steve Hanway

The Red Raiders hauled in a class that would probably fall into the bottom half of the Big 12 North. That's not where you want to be on signing day....

State of the Union: Texas Tech

Comments 17 comments so far January 30, 2007 by Steve Hanway

The seventh in a twelve part series on the state of the Big 12 Mike Leach is an intriguing figure. His pass-happy offense has lead to some big stats and some exciting games but the thrill might be wearing off...
