If you’ve been following me on Twitter or in the comments section these past few days, you know I can’t hide my frustration with this program now. Nothing seems to improve, from performance, to mentality, to anyone taking responsibility (that “apology” was garbage). Without being in the room during the press conference, I can’t tell you […]
Playcall Rewind: Kansas State
This week, we are looking at Tech’s first touchdown of the game against the Wildcats on the first possession of the game. Sorry, I previously owned the Samsung Note 7 and had to return the phone, you know, because they were constantly blowing up, so there won’t be a gif this week. It’s the first […]
Recapping the Presser: KSU – WVU
Well, that game went how we thought it would go, and yet not at all like how we thought it would go. Tech ended up losing by 6 points, pretty close to what Vegas predicted. Mahomes did in fact play (although what we saw in the second half from Mahomes could be argued otherwise). Tech […]
Playcall Rewind: Kansas
This week’s play was a a trick play, drawn up in Kingsbury’s office and deployed at the time when Coach thought he could catch the Kansas defense off guard. This play combined a strange formation and tempo as the offense lined up in for this play quickly after having the ball set. (I’m using my […]
Recapping the Presser: Bye – Kansas
Heading into the Kansas game this year has a little different feel than it did last year. We were hearing that (and eventually was somewhat confirmed) that the team wasn’t preparing for Kansas and that they were just going to out talent the Jayhawks. Following the game last season, Kingsbury said they thought the team […]
Play Call Rewind: La Tech
This week, we take a look at another staple in the Air Raid, but one we haven’t seen executed at such a high level in quite some time – the slant. Design The slant routes is one of the easiest, technique wise, routes to learn and to run. The receiver is essentially trying to break […]
Play Call Rewind: ASU
This week, we take a look at a run play set up by taking advantage of the offense’s own tendencies as Demarcus Felton scored his second career touchdown. Design The offense is aligned with in a 3×1 formation to the left, with Felton aligned in the backfield slightly behind Mahomes. The receivers are spread out […]
Recapping the Presser: ASU – La. Tech
I’m always more interested in the responses after a loss than a win, especially if the win is somewhat expected or a blowout. This week, we have transcripts of Coach Kingsbury, QB Patrick Mahomes, and transfer LB Luke Stice. Kingsbury Video here; players video here. Coach Kingsbury First up, Coach is asked about his initial […]
Playcall Rewind: Offense – SFA
I love these posts (and the challenges of figuring out how to do them with the changes in highlight video posting techniques changing every season). For those new to STP since the last season, I look at one play, typically a touchdown, where the offense was successful and break it down for you. We dive […]
Recapping the Presser: SFA – ASU
After Texas Tech defeated Stephen F Austin soundly this past Saturday, all eyes are turned towards the upcoming matchup in the desert with the Arizona State Sun Devils. We hear from Coach Kingsbury, QB Pat Mahomes, and NT Ondre Pipkins. Coach Kingsbury With the somewhat shaky performance of the offensive line, the media start right […]
