Texas Tech Offense vs. Kansas State Defense
Well, I told you all earlier that the Kansas State defense wasn’t really good and that is definitely true here. The Texas Tech offense has a serious advantage in most of the categories and I think the offense will score . . . so long as Texas Tech doesn’t turn the ball over. I maintain that if Texas Tech doesn’t turn the ball over against Texas, the Red Raiders win by 10. If’s and but’s, yadda, yadda, yadda, but I thought the offense was so good, Duffey included, and he sort of stopped himself.
Texas Tech Defense vs. Kansas State Offense
So the Texas Tech defense is slightly better than the Kansas Sate offense and that’s not something that I get to type very often. That’s a testament to how poorly the Kansas State offense has been this year.
