2010 RED RAIDER FOOTBALL

“THE RIVERBOAT GAMBLER” IS NOW THE

HIGH PLAINS COMMANDER HEAD COACH TOMMY TUBERVILLE

eeking the chance to take the Big 12’s third winningest program to new heights, Tommy Tuberville was named the 14th head coach in school history on January 10, 2010. Tuberville inherits a program that has been bowl eligible for a Big 12 record 16 consecutive seasons and has won 29 games in the last three seasons. His SEC coaching pedigree suggests that his impact on the Red Raider program will be substantial and his first test will arrive on Sept. 5 when Texas Tech opens the 2010 season at home against the SMU Mustangs. In 10 seasons at Auburn, Tuberville led the Tigers to 85 overall wins, which ranks fourth in school history. The Tigers also won 49 Southeastern Conference games, a number that is the fourth-best mark in the SEC. Tuberville led Auburn to seven straight bowl appearances, including New Year’s Day bowl games in four of those years. In 2007, Tuberville led Auburn to an 9-4 mark, including a 5-3 record in the Southeastern Conference with wins at No. 4 Florida and a record-setting sixth consecutive win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl. The Tigers concluded the season with an overtime victory over Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, marking the program’s fifth bowl victory in the last six seasons. For the second consecutive year, Tuberville was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award for his efforts on and off the field. The 2006 season saw Tuberville direct the Tigers to their second season with at least 10 wins in the previous three years with an 11-2 record after a 17-14 victory over Nebraska in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. One of three finalist for the inaugural Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award, Tuberville’s 2006 squad was the only program in the country to defeat two teams ranked in the top five nationally - National Champion Florida and LSU. Coming off a perfect 13-0 season in 2004, expectations for Tommy Tuberville’s 2005 Auburn squad were modest after the Tigers lost four players to the first round of the NFL draft, including their entire starting backfield. But Auburn surprised many of the experts, finishing 9-3 and earning a share of its fifth Southeastern Conference Western Division title in six years. Auburn ended the regular season with back-to-back victories over Georgia and Alabama - two teams ranked at the time in the top 10 - setting a new school record in the process with 22 victories over a two year period. In 2004, Tuberville led Auburn to its best season ever as the Tigers won a school-record 13 games and captured the SEC Championship and the NOKIA Sugar Bowl title. Auburn won its first conference title since 1989 including its first outright championship since 1987. Auburn defeated five top 15 teams, becoming just the 10th NCAA Division I-A team to finish 13-0 or better. The Tigers earned their first ever berth in a Bowl Championship Series game and defeated Virginia Tech, 16-13 in the Sugar Bowl. For his efforts, Tuberville was named the AFCA, Associated Press, Paul “Bear” Bryant, FCA, SEC and Walter Camp Coach of the Year. The season before Tuberville’s arrival, Auburn finished with a dismal 3-8 overall record and a last place finish in the SEC Western Division. Tuberville guided the program back to the top of the league standings, leading Auburn to an SEC Championship, five Western Division titles including outright championships in 2000 and 2004 and co-championships in 2001, 2002 and 2005. Since 2000, the program is tied for the best conference record among SEC teams with a mark of 47-17 (.734). Tuberville has directed Auburn to eight consecutive bowl appearances, including five New Year’s Day bowl berths and three consecutive January 1 bowl games from 2005-07. Tuberville built an Auburn program that excelled both on and off the field. Players flourished under Tuberville’s guidance as Auburn earned 36 first-team All-Southeastern Conference awards, eight All-America honors, 26 SEC All-Freshmen accolades, 57 SEC Player of the Week honors, two SEC Player of the Year awards, two Jacobs Awards presented annually to the league’s top blocker and one Most Valuable Player of the SEC Championship game. Thirty-two players have been selected in the NFL Draft including an SEC-record four in the first round of the 2005 Draft. Running backs Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams were taken second and fifth respectively, while cornerback Carlos Rogers was selected ninth overall and quarterback Jason Campbell was picked 25th in the first round. It also marked the first time in NFL Draft history that an entire backfield from the same team was taken in the first round. Since 2004, 26 Auburn players have been drafted, including 22 in the last five drafts. Of those 22 selections since 2005, almost half have been selected in the first two rounds; five first-round selections and five second- round picks.

Carnell Williams earned NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2005, while in 2006 Marcus McNeill became the first NFL rookie offensive lineman in 16 years to start in the Pro Bowl. McNeill was named to the 2007 Pro Bowl making him just the second NFL lineman ever to be named to the Pro Bowl in their first two years. The East team head coach at the 2006 Hula Bowl, Tuberville is currently on the Board of Trustees of the American Football Coaches Association and is serving a three-year term on the AFCA rules committee. For his numerous achievements during his career, Tuberville was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in February, 2008. Off the field, Auburn earned more than 81 SEC Academic Honor Roll distinctions during Tuberville’s tenure, and when the NCAA released its Academic Progress Report (APR) in February 2006, Auburn football had a multi-year score of 981, which was the highest score among public BCS conference institutions. The program received public recognition from the NCAA for being in the top 10 percentile nationally and was one of only four BCS institutions to earn such distinctions. Tuberville’s community service reached well beyond the local, state and national level in May 2008, when he participated in the inaugural Armed Forces Entertainment Coaches Tour in the Middle East with fellow college coaches Mark Richt of Georgia, Randy Shannon of Miami (Fla.), Jack Siedlecki of Yale and Charlie Weis of Notre Dame. With a mission to help boost troop morale, the six-day tour made stops at military bases in Germany, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and a visit to the USS Nassau in the Persian Gulf. In addition, Tuberville continually stresses the importance of participating in community service projects to Auburn’s football team. Auburn football players regularly read at local schools, serve as mentors and visit with the elderly. The last two summers, the football team spent a day working at Story Book Farm which is a non-profit organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding for children suffering from disabilities, chronic illnesses or those who have suffered a loss. Tuberville understands the process and commitment it takes to build a successful program. Coaching stops at perennial college football powers University of Miami and Texas A&M and a four-year head coaching stint at the University of Mississippi gave him the background in building and maintaining a successful program. He began his coaching career at Hermitage (Ark.) High School where he spent two years as an assistant and two as a head coach. After three straight four-win seasons, Tuberville guided HHS to a 7-3 mark in 1979 before moving to Arkansas State. A 1976 graduate of Southern Arkansas University, Tuberville was a letterman at free safety and a two-year member of the golf team at SAU. He is a 1972 graduate of Harmony Grove High School in Camden, Ark. Tuberville is married to the former Suzanne Fette of Guilford, Ind. They are the parents of two sons, Thomas Tucker and Troy Allen.

2010 RED RAIDER FOOTBALL TUBS HAS TECH BOWLING First year head coach Tommy Tuberville has the Red Raiders headed to the 34th bowl game in school history. He became just the fourth coach in school history to lead a team to a bowl game in his first season as head coach. If the Red Raiders can hold off the Wildcats, Tuberville would become the first coach in school history to win a bowl game in his first year. FIRST YEAR COACHES LEADING TECH TO BOW GAMES Tommy Tuberville (2010) TicketCity Bowl Mike Leach (2000) galleryfurniture.com Bowl Jim Carlen (1970) Sun Bowl Dell Morgan (1941) Sun Bowl TUBS KNOWS BOWL PREPARATION Texas Tech will benefit from Coach Tuberville’s bowl preparation and his record in postseason games speaks for itself. Tuberville enters the TicketCity Bowl with a career record of 7-3 in bowl games and is 1-0 all-time at Cotton Bowl Stadium on New Year’s Day. TUBERVILLE BOWL RECORD Season Bowl (Date) Opponent Result 1997 Motor City Bowl (12/16/97) Marshall W 1998 Independence Bowl (12/31/98) Texas Tech W 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl (1/1/01) Michigan L 2001 Peach Bowl (12/31/01) North Carolina L 2002 Capital One Bowl (1/1/03) Penn State W 2003 Music City Bowl (12/31/03) Wisconsin W 2004 Sugar Bowl (1/3/05) Virginia Tech W 2005 Capital One Bowl (1/2/06) Wisconsin L 2006 Cotton Bowl (1/1/07) Nebraska W 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl (12/31/07) Clemson W TUBERVILLE COACHING TREE Tommy Tuberville’s impact on college football coaching has been felt over the last few weeks with the recent searches for head coaches. Florida’s hiring of Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp now gives Tuberville four head coaches that were previously assistants on his previous staffs. Tuberville has three coaches in the Southeastern Conference and one in the Big 12. FORMER TUBS ASSISTANTS - NOW HEAD COACHES Will Muschamp (Head Coach, Florida) (Defensive Coordinator under Tuberville at Auburn (2006-07) Gene Chizik (Head Coach, Auburn) (Defensive Coordinator under Tuberville at Auburn (2002-04) Bobby Petrino (Head Coach, Arkansas) (Offensive Coordinator under Tuberville at Auburn (2002) Paul Rhoads (Head Coach, Iowa State) (Defensive Coordinator under Tuberville at Auburn (2008) HOME ATTENDANCE RECORD ESTABLISHED The paid attendance of 53,461 against Houston helped Texas Tech establish a new school record for average home attendance in a single season. An average of 57,107 fans attended the six home games at Jones AT&T Stadium and that surpasses the previous record of 53,625 set in 2008. BACK TO THE COTTON BOWL For the second time this season, the Red Raiders will be playing in historic Cotton Bowl Stadium. Tech faced Big 12 rival Baylor at the Cotton Bowl back on Oct. 9, with the Red Raiders coming away with a 45-38 victory in front of a crowd of 48,213. Tech’s appearance at the Cotton Bowl will be its third in the last two years dating back to an appearance in the 73rd Cotton Bowl Classic against Mississippi on Jan 2, 2009. • Texas Tech will be seeking its first bowl win in Cotton Bowl Stadium as the Red Raiders are 0-4 all-time in Cotton Bowl Classic games. TEXAS TECH-COTTON BOWL CONNECTION The TicketCity Bowl, being played at Cotton Bowl Stadium, will be a homecoming for a very prominent Texas Tech family. John Scovell and his three sons, Field, King and Dupree, will have the opportunity to cheer on their alma mater as the Red Raiders take on Northwestern. John and all three of his sons are football lettermen at Texas Tech and are the son and grandsons of the legendary “Mr. Cotton Bowl” Field Scovell. Scovell served four decades as the chairman of team selection for the Cotton Bowl Classic and the championship trophy bears his name. John Scovell currently serves Texas Tech on its board of regents.

TEXAS TECH AND THE BIG D • The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is home to Texas Tech’s largest alumni base with over 40,000 former students living in the area. • Texas Tech’s expected dress roster for the TicketCity Bowl will include 14 players from the DFW Metroplex. In all, Texas Tech has 34 players on its roster from DFW. • Since 2000, Texas Tech owns a 6-3 record in the DFW Metroplex. SENIOR SALUTE A total of 22 Red Raiders will play the final game of their careers against Northwestern in the TicketCity Bowl. 2010 SENIOR CLASS Acevedo, Gerardo Aguilar, Mike Barbee, Britton Batch, Baron Bird, Bront Brydon, Jonathan Duncan, Brian Elder, Jeremy Emert, Blake Halliburton, Ryan Howard, Julius Kelley, Blake LaCour, Jonathan Leong, Lyle Lewis, Detron McCorkle, Andre Mitchem, Frankie Moore, Laron Olson, Chris Potts, Taylor Sheffield, Steven Whitlock, Colby Williams, Matt TEXAS TECH AND NORTHWESTERN Texas Tech and Northwestern will be meeting for the first time on New Year’s Day. Northwestern, located in the Chicago suburb of Evansville, will be the second team that Texas Tech has faced from the Windy City. Tech split a two-game series with DePaul in 1934 and 1936 and that is the last time the Red Raiders have faced an opponent from the entire state of Illinois. FIRST-TIME MEETINGS Northwestern will become the 130th different opponent to make an appearance in the Texas Tech annals. A first-time match-up has taken place 26 times in bowl games and the TicketCity Bowl match-up against Northwestern will mark the 27th. Texas Tech trails 14-11-1 all-time in first-time match-ups in bowl games but is 6-2 against those opponents in the last 10 years. TECH IN SEARCH OF THIRD BIG TEN WIN Texas Tech will be in search of its third win against a Big Ten opponent when the Red Raiders face Northwestern on New Year’s Day. Tech is currently riding a two-game win streak against the Big Ten by virtue of bowl wins over Minnesota in 2006 and Michigan State in 2009. Overall, Texas Tech is 2-5 against the Big Ten with a pair of losses to both Iowa and Ohio State and one to Penn State. 10 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN TICKETCITY BOWL 1. Eight Texas Tech seniors will look to make their fourth consecutive bowl appearance. Red Raiders who have played in the Gator Bowl (2007), Cotton Bowl (2008) and Alamo Bowl (2009) are, Baron Batch, Bront Bird, Brian Duncan, Julius Howard, Lyle Leong, Detron Lewis, LaRon Moore and Colby Whitlock. 2. Five active Red Raiders have scored touchdowns during a bowl game, with Detron Lewis the only active player to score a touchdown in more than one bowl game, and Baron Batch the only active Tech player to score multiple touchdowns in a bowl game. ACTIVE TECH PLAYERS TO SCORE A TD IN A BOWL GAME 2007: Detron Lewis (10-yard TD reception from QB Graham Harrell) 2007: Aaron Crawford (4-yard TD run) 2009: Baron Batch (3-yard TD run) 2009: Jacoby Franks (14-yard TD reception from QB Taylor Potts) 2009: Detron Lewis (11-yard TD reception from QB Steven Sheffield) 2009: Baron Batch (13-yard TD run) 3. Baron Batch needs two rushing touchdowns to move into a tie for eighth place on the Tech career rushing touchdowns list. 4. Lyle Leong needs only one touchdown to move into second place on the Tech career touchdowns list. 5. Detron Lewis and Lyle Leong look to close their Tech careers with an impressive consecutive games streak with a reception. With a reception in the TicketCity Bowl, Lewis will have caught

at least one pass in 40 straight games while Leong needs a grab on New Year’s Day to mark his 36th consecutive game with a catch. 6. With two catches Detron Lewis will move into third place on the Tech career receptions list. With eight grabs in the game, Lewis will move into ninth place on the Tech single-season receptions list. 7. Tre’ Porter looks to continue his stellar freshman season as he enters bowl season with the most tackles by a freshman in the Big 12 Conference. Porter currently has 70 total tackles while Kansas State freshman Ty Zimmerman is close behind with 69 total tackles. 8. Senior Taylor Potts needs only one passing touchdown to move into third place on the Tech career passing touchdowns list. Here are several statistical marks that Potts will have a chance to reach against Northwestern that will move him up in the record books. TAYLOR POTTS NEEDS… • 1 passing TD to tie for 3rd place (career passing touchdowns) • 21 passing attempts to move into 3rd place (career passing attempts) • 44 attempts to move into 6th place (career attempts) • 225 yards of total offense to move into 4th place (career total offense) • 4 passing touchdowns to tie for 7th place (single-season passing touchdowns) • 146 passing yards to move into 8th place (single-season passing yards) • 37 passing attempts to move into 8th place (single-season passing attempts) • 37 pass completions to move into 8th place (single-season passing completions) 9. With a start on defense in the bowl game, senior lineman Colby Whitlock will be making his 49th consecutive start as a Red Raider, which is the longest active streak by a Tech player. The streak began during Whitlock’s freshman season on the road at Oklahoma State on Sept. 22, 2007. 10. Senior linebacker Bront Bird, who leads Tech in total tackles, needs four tackles in the bowl game to have recorded at least four tackles in every game this season. Bird has notched at least eight tackles on eight occasions. Three times this season Bird has posted double-figures in tackles. BRIEFLY ... • The TicketCity Bowl will be televised live nationally on ESPNU and will mark Tech’s first-ever appearance on the all-college network. Texas Tech will end the season by making 10 appearances on television (3 on ABC, 3 on FSN, 1 on ESPN, 1 on FCS and 1 on The Mtn.). The 10 television appearances ties the school record that was set last season. • Texas Tech will be looking to close out its season on a threegame win streak for the second-straight year. Tech is riding a two-game streak with wins over Weber State and Houston and has won three of its last four. • Texas Tech has now scored on its opening possession in each of the last three games. • Senior placekicker Matt Williams has connected on seven consecutive field goals dating back to the Iowa State game. He nailed a 41-yarder against Weber State to extend his streak. • Senior quarterback Taylor Potts set the Cotton Bowl Stadium record for passing earlier this season. Please see the entire note located on page eight. SIFTING THROUGH THE CARNAGE To say the Red Raiders have been spending a lot of time in the training room, would be an understatement. After not suffering a single injury in the last 10 years (hopefully you get the joke), the injury bug has caught up with the Red Raiders in 2010. Since training camp began, 15 players have missed playing time or had their season come to an end due to injuries. Britton Barbee (Achilles Tear - suffered in training camp) Aundrey Barr (knee surgery on Oct. 13) Terrance Bullitt (broken hand - missed Colorado game) Beau Carpenter (Appendectomy - forced to redshirt) Jared Flannel (Achilles Tear - suffered in training camp) Will Ford (hamstring) Jacoby Franks (broken right foot - suffered at Colorado) Kerry Hyder (hamstring - missed Colorado game) Harrison Jeffers (concussion - missed SMU game) DJ Johnson (hamstring - missed MU game) LaRon Moore (broken leg in spring training - missed four games) Mickey Okafor (concussion - missed SMU and UNM games) Chris Perry (broken hand - missed CU and A&M games)

Scott Smith (not an injury but was suspended after ISU game) Alex Torres (knee surgery on Nov. 1 - missed Mizzou game) Austin Zouzalik (Appendectomy - missed SMU game) LEONG STANDS IN SECOND PLACE Senior receiver Lyle Leong caught one touchdown pass against Houston and now owns 30 career touchdowns, which places him in a tie for second place (with Jarrett Hicks) in Texas Tech career history for receiving touchdowns. His 17 touchdown receptions this season puts him in sole possession of third place on the Tech single-season list. • Ranks second nationally in receiving touchdowns with 17. • Tied for 25th nationally in scoring with an average of 8.50 points-per-game. A LOOK AT QUARTERBACK TAYLOR POTTS Texas Tech senior quarterback Taylor Potts, recently named to the Manning Award watch list, is slowly climbing the Texas Tech record book: • Against Weber State, he became the fourth quarterback in Texas Tech history to reach 7,000 career passing yards.

WOUNDED WARRIOR GAME WAS A SUCCESS Texas Tech and Utah took the national stage as the official “Wounded Warrior Project” games for 2010 and the Red Raiders took advantage with a 24-17 upset win over No. 14 Missouri. Decked out in black/camouflage uniforms, Texas Tech and Under Armour paid tribute to our military heroes and afterwards three of the Wounded Warriors were presented game balls from Coach Tuberville. Anthony Villarreal, Mike Owens and Chad Flemming walked with the team through Raider Walk and then were guests on the sideline on Saturday. The three men brought good luck to the Red Raiders and earned high praise in the locker

2010 RED RAIDER FOOTBALL room from the coaches and players for their personal sacrifices for our country. The jerseys worn by Texas Tech will go on auction at www.texastech.com on Monday, Nov. 8, with the winning bids awarded on Nov. 22. All proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project. THAT’S A FIRST The win over Missouri was not only the first over the Tigers since 2002 but also marked the first time that Tech defeated Missouri and Colorado in the same season. The Tigers and Buffaloes have been nemesis’ of the Red Raiders since the league began in 1996. Prior to Saturday night, Tech had never defeated Missouri and Colorado in the same season. Tech’s win over the Tigers also gave Tech a final mark of 2-1 against the Big 12 North Division. LOOK OUT Don’t look now but the stat sheet from Tech’s win over Missouri will reveal something that has not been seen from a Red Raider team this century. In Tech’s 24-17 win over the Tigers, the Red Raiders had more rushing attempts than pass attempts (51 rush and 50 pass). Additionally, the 51 rushing attempts were the most by a Tech offensive unit since the 1999 squad rushed 55 times in a game at Texas. The run game paid off for the Red Raiders as Tech gained 198 yards on the ground and produced its first 100-yard individual rusher of the season (Baron Batch - 134 yards). • In all, Texas Tech tallied 101 total plays against the Tigers and that was the most for the Red Raiders since running 111 total plays at home against Iowa State in 2003. BATCH JOINS THE 2,000/1,000 CLUB Senior running back Baron Batch reached the 2,000/1,000 yard club against Missouri as he has rushed for over 2,000 yards in his career and hauled in over 1,000 career receiving yards. Batch needed five receiving yards heading into the Missouri game to join the exclusive club and ended the night with 14 receiving yards. • Batch set a new career high for carries as he ran the ball 28 times for 134 yards against the Tigers. • Tallied his longest run of the season at Oklahoma, with a 37yard scamper. STEPHENS SETS ANOTHER RETURN RECORD Sophomore Eric Stephens became the school’s all-time career kickoff return yardage leader against Baylor as he picked up 37 return yards which was enough to move him into first place. Stephens edged former Red Raider great and current college football hall of fame member Donny Anderson who previously held the record of 1,309 that he set between 1963-65. He added another school record to his belt at Colorado as he surpassed Anderson’s career record for kickoff returns (56) with three in the game against the Buffaloes. Against Missouri, Stephens shattered the single-season kickoff return record for yardage that he set himself during his freshman season in 2009. • Now has a school record 1,812 career kickoff return yards. • Owns a school record 72 career kickoff returns. • Has set the single-season kickoff return record twice (as a freshman and sophomore) during his career. SHEFFIELD STARTS/POTTS FINISHES Senior quarterback Steven Sheffield made his first start of the season against Missouri. Prior to the Missouri game, senior quarterback Taylor Potts had made all eight previous starts. The game represented the third career start for Sheffield and his first since leading the Red Raiders to a 31-10 road win over No. 15 Nebraska on Oct. 17, 2009. • Senior quarterback Taylor Potts entered the game with five minutes remaining in the second quarter. Potts engineered Tech’s only touchdown drive of the half that covered 16 plays/82 yards and ended with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Detron Lewis. The touchdown pass pulled Tech to within one touchdown at 17-10. • Potts led Tech to another touchdown on the first possession of the second half that ended in a 16-yard TD strike to Lyle Leong. The touchdown pass was the 50th of his career and he became one of just four QB’s in Tech history to reach 50 career touchdown passes. • Potts finished the night with 188 passing yards (19-of-28 with one interception) along with three touchdown passes.

LEWIS MOVES UP ON SCHOOL CHARTS • Needs 2 receptions to move into 3rd place (career receptions) • Needs 29 receptions to tie for 2nd place (career receptions) • Needs 46 yards to move into 7th place (career yards) • Needs 180 yards to move into 6th place (career yards) LEWIS/LEONG ARE STREAKING • Senior receiver Detron Lewis has at least one reception in 39 consecutive games dating back to Jan. 1, 2008, against Virginia in the Gator Bowl... also owns a streak of 24-straight games with a catch during Big 12 competition which covers the entire 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons. • Senior receiver Lyle Leong has at least one reception in 35 consecutive games dating back to Sept. 20, 2008, against UMASS at Jones AT&T Stadium... also owns a streak of 24-straight games with a catch during Big 12 competition which covers the entire 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons. BIRD ANCHORING THE TECH DEFENSE Senior linebacker Bront Bird’s move to middle linebacker has paid off greatly as he leads the team with 101 total tackles. Along with his 101 tackles, he owns 4 1/2 tackles for a loss, one sack and three interceptions. GRAVES SHINES IN HIS FIRST START Redshirt freshman Pearlie Graves shined in his Red Raider debut on at Colorado and has given Texas Tech defensive coordinator James Willis something to smile about. Graves, a four-star recruit out of Tulsa, Okla., had spent most of the season on the scout team but earned his stripes the week prior to the CU game and then turned in a huge game against the Buffaloes. Graves finished the CU game with two quarterback sacks and another tackle for a loss to give him three tackles on the afternoon. His contributions couldn’t have come at a better time in the year due to the injuries that have been sustained defensively. • Made his first career start at Texas A&M the following week and finished the game with seven tackles, including 1.5 for a loss. TORRES LEADS TECH AT COLORADO For the first time this season, Red Raider fans got a glimpse at the REAL Alex Torres. Hampered by a lower back injury most of the season, Torres finally turned in one of those big games that he can been accustomed to his freshman season. Torres led the Red Raider offense with 133 receiving yards on Saturday and hauled in one touchdown pass. • Saturday’s game marked the third game of his career with 100-plus receiving yards. • Was the team’s leading receiver in 2009 with 806 yards. NEW JONES AT&T STADIUM RECORD - AGAIN Texas Tech tied the Jones AT&T Stadium attendance record against Oklahoma State. The 60,454 fans in attendance equaled the school record set earlier this season against Texas on Sept. 18. SECONDARY SURPASSES 2009 TOTAL The Texas Tech secondary has been opportunistic in the first nine games of the 2010 season as the group has racked up 14 interceptions. The 2009 team finished the year with just 10 total interceptions. AGAINST BAYLOR, THE TECH OFFENSE ... • Posted a season-high 635 yards of total offense. This total is the most since racking up 739 yards against Kansas State last season. • Scored 45 points, second highest total of season behind the 52 scored at New Mexico on Sept. 11. • Posted the most first downs (35) in a game since totaling 31 in last year’s Alamo Bowl win over Michigan State. • Logged the most passing yards (462) since the Kansas State game (554) last season. • Ran 95 total plays, which is the most since running 111 against Iowa State in 2003.

2010 RED RAIDER FOOTBALL POTTS SETS COTTON BOWL PASSING RECORD Senior quarterback Taylor Potts silenced his critics on Oct. 9 with a spectacular performance against the Baylor Bears in the Cotton Bowl. Potts led the Red Raiders to a 45-38 win over the Bears and in the process established the following records: • Established a new career high in passing with 462 yards (21st most in school history and a Cotton Bowl Stadium record) through the air. His previous high was 456 set against Rice last season. • The 462 passing yards is the third most all-time on a neutral field for a Tech quarterback and the most since Sonny Cumbie compiled 520 against California in the Holiday Bowl in 2004. • The game marked the 10th 300-plus yard passing game of his career. • Became the sixth quarterback in Texas Tech history to tally 500-plus completions in his career. He now owns 525 career completions. Big 12’s Top Passing Games - 2010 468 Jones,Landry (Oklahoma) at Oklahoma State (11/27) 462 Potts, Taylor (Texas Tech) vs Baylor (10/9) 453 Jones,Landry (Oklahoma) vs Colorado (10/30) 449 Tannehill, Ryan (Texas A&M) vs Texas Tech (10/30) 435 Weeden, Brandon (Oklahoma State) vs Baylor (11/6) 409 Weeden, Brandon (Oklahoma State) vs Tulsa (9/18) 409 Johnson, Jerrod (Texas A&M) at Oklahoma State (9/30) 409 Weeden, Brandon (Oklahoma State) at Texas (11/13) 404 Griffin III, Robert (Baylor) vs Kansas State (10/23) 389 Weeden, Brandon (Oklahoma State) at Kansas (11/20) 384 Griffin III, Robert (Baylor) vs. Texas Tech (10/9) 380 Jones, Landry (Oklahoma) vs. Florida State (9/11) 380 Griffin III, Robert (Baylor) vs. Kansas (10/1) 377 Potts, Taylor (Texas Tech) at Iowa State (10/2) 373 Potts, Taylor (Texas Tech) vs. Houston (11/27) SMITH SUSPENDED Junior defensive end Scott Smith has been suspended for the year for a violation of team rules. Prior to the Baylor game, Smith had played in all four games and registered 14 total tackles along with three sacks. “LYNWOOD” MOVES INTO SECOND Two years removed from one of the most intriguing stories in all of college football, senior placekicker Matt “Lynwood” Williams has moved into second place on the career PAT list at Texas Tech. Williams earned national attention after former head coach Mike Leach stopped Williams after he participated in a third quarter Kick For Rent contest, sponsored by Lynwood Townhomes, on Sept. 20, 2008, against UMASS. Leach was so impressed by Williams that he offered him the chance to walk on and earn a spot on the team. Williams was successful in his tryout and his first collegiate action came at Kansas where he was successful on nine extra point attempts against the Jayhawks. His first career field goal (29-yards) came in the game against Texas the very next week. • Since the Kansas game in 2008, Williams has made 143 extra point attempts and now ranks second behind Alex Trlica who owns both the school and NCAA record of 233. OLD RELIABLE Senior NT Colby Whitlock might very well be one of the best defensive lineman in the country and he has the resume to back it up. Whitlock has made 48 consecutive starts dating back to his freshman season in 2007 and will be in search of No. 48 on Saturday against Houston. Whitlock, an Oklahoma native, cracked the starting lineup at Oklahoma State on Sept. 22, 2007, and hasn’t looked back since - racking up 178 total tackles, including 29.5 for a loss. TECH-TEXAS WAS A RATINGS HIT (AGAIN) For the third consecutive year, ABC found ratings gold in its primetime match-up featuring Texas Tech and Texas. This year’s game scored a 4.9 overnight rating and easily marked the most watched football game of the season on ABC. The ratings were up 14% from last year’s game in Austin. ALL DRESSED IN WHITE There was a lot of white on the Texas Tech sideline against New Mexico as the Red Raiders dressed in white pants, white jerseys and white helmets. Tech wore white helmets in a game for the first time since the Jim Carlen era between 1970-74.

MAKE THAT EIGHT Texas Tech’s 35-27 victory over SMU on Sunday marked eight straight season-opening wins for the Red Raiders dating back to the 2003 season. The rare Sunday game (a first since the 1996 Alamo Bowl) was played before a national audience on ESPN and was the debut for coach Tommy Tuberville.

ALL ABOUT RED Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville and the athletics department announced a new RED OUT Initiative on Friday, August 20. Red Raider fans have been urged to wear RED each and every time they attend a Texas Tech sporting event, home or away.

TUBERVILLE ERA BEGINS WITH A WIN The much anticipated Tommy Tuberville era at Texas Tech began with a 35-27 win over SMU. Tuberville is now 2-1 all-time in his coaching career when starting a new job. He lost his opener at Ole Miss (46-13 to Auburn) in 1995 but was victorious in his debut at Auburn as the Tigers defeated Appalachian State 22-15 in 1999.

EXPANSION, EXPANSION Texas Tech’s Jones AT&T Stadium can lay claim to being one of just a few stadiums across the country that expanded twice within one calendar year. The addition of 6,000 north end zone seats prior to the Texas A&M game on Oct. 29, 2009, coupled with the opening of the east side stadium building for the 2010 season opener has increased stadium capacity to 60,454. The east side stadium building features 29 luxury suites along with 544 outdoor club seats as well as a private dining club that will be open daily to members. When combined with the west side stadium building, Jones AT&T Stadium now boasts 83 luxury suites and 1,644 club seats. In addition to the stadium, Texas Tech also spent close to 2.3 million in renovating the football training facility. A football hall of fame and turf practice field were added while the locker room and weight room underwent major renovations.

RECORD CROWDS TURN OUT FOR THE OPENER The excitement of a new era of Red Raider football continues to build as record crowds turned out for Texas Tech’s season opener against SMU. The second largest crowd (57,528) in Jones AT&T Stadium history watched the Red Raiders defeat SMU on Sunday afternoon. The 57,528 fans were the most to ever attend a home season opener and topped last season’s home opening crowd of 47,824 against North Dakota. Amongst the crowd were 12,910 Texas Tech students and that is the largest student crowd in school history. RAIDER WALK A HUGE SUCCESS The first Raider Walk in school history was an overwhelming success as the crowd was estimated at between 10 and 12 thousand fans for the SMU game. Two weeks later against Texas, the crowd was estimated between 15-18 thousand fans. The Raider Walk is the pathway that the team takes by foot from the corner of Canton Ave. and Drive of Champions to the Football Training Facility. The walk begins two hours and 15 minutes prior to kickoff each home game. FIRST TOUCHDOWNS GO TO LEONG Senior quarterback Taylor Potts found his old high school buddy Lyle Leong in the corner of the end zone for a two-yard touchdown strike that marked the first of the season for the Red Raiders on Sunday against SMU. Leong didn’t stop there as he caught the second touchdown (six-yard reception) of the game with 14:30 remaining in the second quarter to help the Red Raiders build a 14-0 lead. CAREER DAY FOR LEONG Lyle Leong got his senior year off with a bang as he led the Red Raider offense with 11 catches, 142 receiving yards and three touchdowns against SMU. Leong surpassed his previous career high of nine receptions and 117 yards receiving that he set last season against Rice. His three touchdowns on the afternoon tied his career high (set twice previously) and it marked the fifth multiple touchdown game of his career. POTTS IMPRESSIVE AGAINST SMU Senior quarterback Taylor Potts enjoyed a solid season opener on Sunday and led the Red Raiders to a 35-27 win over SMU. Potts completed 34 of 53 passes without an interception and piled up 359 passing yards along with four touchdowns through the air. In the season opener last season against North Dakota, Potts was 34-of-48 with three interceptions while throwing for 405 yards and two touchdowns. PROTECTING THE HOUSE As Under Armour (Texas Tech’s official apparel provider) would say, “We Must Protect This House.” Texas Tech has taken that motto seriously over the years as the Red Raiders have amassed a home record of 44-8 since 2003. The .846 winning percentage ranks third in the league behind Texas and Oklahoma. RECORD SEASON TICKET SALES The Red Raider faithful have spoken in record numbers in regards to the excitement of the arrival of coach Tuberville and this new era of Texas Tech football. On July 21, 2010, Texas Tech announced that a new school record in season ticket sales had been established - and by the first game against SMU, the old record was shattered. Texas Tech’s final season ticket count was 46,565 which blew away the previous record of 41,740.

EIGHT-STRAIGHT Texas Tech football has reeled of eight-straight seasons of winning eight-plus games and that streak has made the Red Raiders one of the most consistent programs in the nation. Texas Tech is also in the middle of a streak of 15-straight winning seasons. BIG 12 BOWL RECORD CONTINUES Texas Tech’s appearance in the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl (a 4131 win over Michigan State) marked the 16th-consecutive year of bowl eligibility for the Red Raider football program – a Big 12 record. Texas Tech will be looking to push that streak to 18 consecutive years this season and the Red Raiders will be in search of their 10th-straight bowl appearance and 34th overall.

Defensively, the average age is 39 years old and the group is anchored by James Willis (38), the 37th youngest coordinator in the FBS.

The poll listed the top 12 mascots in the nation and included Big 12 schools Colorado (Ralphie) and Texas (Bevo). OFFENSIVE LINE GETS A MAKEOVER Texas Tech’s offensive line got a makeover during the offseason and the coaching staff hopes it pays dividends this season. Overall, the group only lost a total of 24 pounds but that does not give the proper insight into the radical change that has occurred. Terry McDaniel, Deveric Gallington, Mickey Okafor and LaAdrian Waddle lost a combined 98 pounds from the end of last season to the start of training camp. Tech offensive line coach Matt Moore wanted to see slimmer and more quick-footed players on the line and he hopes the changes in body types will do the trick. There were a few weight gains in the group as Lonnie Edwards gained 32 pounds, Jonathan Guerra added 16, Blake Emert put on 10 and Chris Olson added four.

Duncan along with senior nose tackle Colby Whitlock. All three players have the potential to play at the next level and will be the catalysts for Willis’ first defensive unit on the South Plains. BIRD AND DUNCAN CLOG THE MIDDLE Texas Tech will have two of the top linebackers in the Big 12 clogging up the middle in 2010 with the return of seniors Bront Bird and Brian Duncan. Duncan was the team leader in tackles last season with 88 and will be another key figure in 2010. Duncan will be moving to the outside this year and will at times be like a rush end. He has been named to the watchlists for the Butkus Award as well as the Lott and Nagurski Trophies. Bird finished sixth on the team in 2009 with 56 total tackles and has become one of the key leaders on the defensive unit. He gained nearly 10 pounds in the off season and will make the move to middle linebacker after playing previously on the outside. DAVIS LOOKS FOR BIG THINGS AS SOPHOMORE Sophomore safety Cody Davis earned Freshman All-American honors in his Red Raider debut in 2009 and now he’s looking to shake the freshman title and become Tech’s first defensive All-American since Kevin Curtis in 2001. Davis was second on the squad with 81 total tackles in 2009 and picked up honorable mention All-Big 12 accolades.

START YOUR ENGINES A new term in the Texas Tech offense is “NASCAR” and the only setback might be the fact that the officiating crew may not be able to keep pace. First-year offense coordinator Neal Brown will play an up-tempo scheme designed to keep the offense in a rhythm and hopefully the defense on its heels. One of the biggest changes from years past, is that the play calling will come from the sidelines and will no longer be in the hands of the quarterback. THE STABLE IS FULL Texas Tech running back coach Chad Scott can’t help but get excited when he opens the barn door that reveals a talented stable of running backs. Led by senior Baron Batch, the running back situation at Texas Tech may be at its best since the late 1990’s when Tech had the nickname of “Tailback U.” Batch and sophomore Eric Stephens, who showed tremendous potential as a freshman, are leading the way for the Red Raiders but are a getting a strong push from junior Aaron Crawford and freshman Ben McRoy. POTTS NAMED STARTING QUARTERBACK Senior gunslingerTaylor Potts was named the starting quarterback for the 2010 season and will take the reins of the Tech offense against SMU on Sept. 5. Potts, a 2010 Davey O’Brien preseason candidate, made 10 starts in 2009 and threw for 3,440 yards along with 22 touchdowns. He wrapped up the 2009 season in impressive fashion as he threw for 372 yards and two touchdowns on 29-of-43 passing against Michigan State in the Valero Alamo Bowl. That effort paced the Red Raiders to a 41-31 win over the Spartans and after the game he was named the offensive most valuable player. NAME & JERSEY NUMBER CHANGE FOR POTTS No more “Nick” and no more No. 15. Taylor Potts is just Taylor Potts and he his reverting back to his high school number (12) for his senior season. NEW PHILOSOPHY Possibly the biggest message of Coach Tuberville’s brief tenure at Texas Tech has been that defense wins championships. That mentality has brought an entirely new focus to the Red Raider defensive unit that was often overlooked by Tech’s high-powered offense. Led by coordinator James Willis, the new look Texas Tech defense will be aggressive and has some star power of its own in senior linebacker Bront Bird and Brian

The Mustangs had a chance late and were driving when they failed to convert a fourth-and-21 from the 50 on their final drive. Texas Tech intercepted SMU quarterback Kyle Padron three times. He threw for 218 yards. The Mustangs rallied behind their special teams. Darryl Fields returned a kickoff 92 yards to set up a 24-yard field to pull SMU within 35-17. Early in the fourth, Matt Szymanski booted a 61-yard field, his longest ever. Texas Tech’s defense had to task of trying to stop Padron, who threw for a school-record 460 yards and two touchdowns running coach June Jones’ run-n-shoot in a 45-10 win over Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl. For Leong it was a career day in receptions and yardage, grabbing 11 passes for 142 yards. Stephens touchdown came late in the third quarter when he juked back and forth in the backfield before getting around defenders on the right side and skipping untouched into the end zone. Tech’s special teams and defense set up the first two Red Raiders scores. Cornelius Douglas forced a fumble as Kenneth Acker fielded a punt deep in SMU’s own territory late in the first quarter and Franklin Mitchell recovered it at the 18. Tech ran the ball four consecutive times - something Leach rarely did - before Potts found Leong in the corner of the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown to give Tech a 7-0 lead. On the second play of SMU’s next possession, redshirt freshman Jarvis Phillips stepped in front of a pass from Padron to set up Potts’s second TD pass. The 6-yard score went over the middle to Leong who was wide open near the back of the end zone. SMU scored its first touchdown on its final drive of the first half as Padron led a 13-play drive, including his scrambling for 18 yards for a first down on fourth-and-3 from Tech’s 34. Zach Line scored from 2 yards and the Mustangs were down by only one score. Tuberville’s 111th career victory came in the Red Raiders now-less-lopsided stadium. The east side of the stadium now has a $25 million addition where all 29 new suites were sold for the opener. The addition ups the stadium’s capacity to 60,454.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Taylor Potts threw for 359 yards and four touchdowns to lead Texas Tech over SMU 35-27 and give Tommy Tuberville a victory Sunday in his first game as Red Raiders coach. Tuberville took over after the popular and successful Mike Leach was fired in December amid allegations he mistreated an injured player. Tuberville promised to stick with a pass-heavy offense that helped Leach make the Red Raiders famous. Promise kept. Potts was 34 for 53 with no interceptions and connected with Lyle Leong for three scores and Detron Lewis for the other. Texas Tech ran its winning streak against SMU to 14 games, dating back to 1989. Eric Stephens rushed for 3-yard TD to put Texas Tech up 35-14 midway through the third quarter.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -Taylor Potts tossed three touchdown passes, with two of those going to Lyle Leong, to lead Texas Tech to a 52-17 victory Saturday over New Mexico. The Red Raiders (2-0) benefited from two blocked punts at the beginning of each half that led to short touchdown drives. The Lobos (0-2) didn’t help themselves, committing 16 penalties that cost them 145 yards. New Mexico quarterback B.R. Holbrook had 323 yards passing, his first career 300-yard game, and UNM receiver Ty Kirk set a career high with 119 yards. Potts, who completed passes to nine different receivers, went 22-34 in the air, with Leong catching five for 75 yards. Baron Batch also rushed for two touchdowns for Texas Tech. The Red Raiders took a 24-3 lead early in the second quarter before the Lobos closed within 31-17 and had a chance for more points before halftime, but an offensive pass interference and a personal foul on the same play negated a UNM touchdown with seven seconds left. Texas Tech scored 45 seconds into the game on a 55-yard pass from Potts to Austin Zouzalik. Aaron Crawford then blocked a punt on the Lobos’ next possession with Jonathan Brydon recovering at the 3. Eric Stephens scored on the next play for a 14-0 Red Raiders’ lead five minutes into the game. After a New Mexico field goal on the next possession, Stephens returned the kickoff 93 yards to the UNM 7, with Batch scoring two plays later.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Garrett Gilbert threw for two touchdowns and 227 yards to lead No. 6 Texas past Texas Tech 24-14 in a sloppy victory for the Longhorns on Saturday night. Texas put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter after draining more than nine minutes off the clock. The 22-play drive included a risky and successful fake punt on fourth-and-1 on its own 29. Gilbert capped the march with a 1-yard pass to Barrett Matthews to give the Horns a 24-14 lead with 9:26 left. Gilbert finished 21 of 36 with three interceptions The game included seven turnovers, four by the Longhorns (3-0, 1-0) and three by the Red Raiders (2-1, 0-1). Texas got a field goal and a touchdown off two Texas Tech turnovers. Red Raiders cornerback Jarvis Phillips intercepted Gilbert twice and returned one 87 yards for a score. Taylor Potts finished 21 of 35 for 159 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions for Tech. In the opening drive of the third quarter Curtis Brown intercepted a pass from Potts at the Texas 14 and it appeared he would scamper for a touchdown. But Baron Batch caught up with Brown and tackled him at the Texas Tech 14. The Longhorns got only a field goal, though. On the long drive that put Texas up 24-14, they got help from Will Ford on a third-and-13 from the Red Raiders 27. Greg Smith dropped a pass from Gilbert but Ford was called for a taunting penalty to give Texas a first down and another shot to get a score. A few plays later Gilbert hit Matthews with a lob pass for the touchdown. James Kirkendoll had six catches for 122 yards for Texas. Texas coach Mack Brown wanted more points early - the Longhorns had scored only a field in opening quarters of first two games - and he got them. In the first 7:30 minutes Texas had two touchdowns. On Texas Tech’s first play from scrimmage, the snap went over the head of Potts and was recovered by Jackson Jeffcoat at the Red Raiders 7. On the next play Fozzy Whittaker rushed it in, stretching his arm across the goal line to put the Horns up 7-0. Texas Tech couldn’t get a first down and when Texas got the ball to Gilbert he led the Longhorns on 79-yard scoring drive, including a 33-yard pass to Kirkendoll. Gilbert rolled out to his right and hit Mike Davis for a 7-yard score to put Texas up 14-0. Gilbert had the Longhorns at the Red Raiders 20 when Scott Smith intercepted him at the 13. On the next play Potts got his second turnover when Blake Gideon, who in 2008 dropped a sure interception right before Michael Crabtree caught the game-winning pass to lift Texas Tech over the then-topped-ranked Longhorns 3933, plucked the ball at UT’s 43 and returned it 22 yards. Four plays later with the Longhorns threatening again at the Red Raiders 19, Smith tipped the ball and cornerback Phillips Jarvis grabbed it and scooted 87 yards along the near sideline to pull the Red Raiders within 14-7 with 1:39 left in the first quarter. The Longhorns looked shaky on their next drive and were forced to punt. Batch’s 25-yard run put the Red Raiders on UT’s 43 and a few plays later Potts threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to the corner of the end zone and his high school teammate, Lyle Leong, pulled it in to tie the game at 14-14 early in the second quarter.

AMES, Iowa (AP) - Austen Arnaud threw a career-high four touchdown passes and Jeremy Reeves capped a wild game by returning an onside kick 42 yards for a touchdown, leading Iowa State to a 52-38 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night. Iowa State (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) built a 24-0 lead in the first half, saw the Red Raiders (2-2, 0-2) rally to tie it, then capitalized on a fumble recovery to regain the lead in the fourth quarter when the teams combined for 42 points. Taylor Potts threw five touchdown passes for Texas Tech, the last a 26-yarder to Lyle Leong to draw the Red Raiders within 45-38 with 2:05 left. The Red Raiders then tried an onside kick, but Reeves grabbed the ball and ran it back for a touchdown to finally put it out of reach Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads got the victory over his former boss, Tommy Tuberville of Texas Tech. Rhoads was the defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2008 when Tuberville was the Tigers’ head coach. With the score 24-24 late in the third quarter, Tech’s Detron Lewis fumbled and ISU’s Jake Knott recovered at the Red Raiders’ 39. Five plays later, 6-foot-5 tight end Collin Franklin leaped in the back of the zone to grab a 27-yard pass from Arnaud for the go-ahead score. After the Red Raiders went three-and-out, freshman Shontrelle Johnson sprinted 61 yards for a touchdown and a 38-24 lead, which proved to be just enough for Iowa State to hold on. The 52 points were the most by Iowa State in a Big 12 game and Reeves’ kickoff return was the first for a score by an ISU player since Troy Davis took one back on Nov. 19, 1994 at Colorado. The Cyclones needed the high-scoring night because after a slow start, Potts had the Red Raiders motoring up and down the field the way Tech teams have become accustomed to moving. Potts completed 42 of 62 passes for 377 yards and one interception. Three of his touchdown passes went to Leong, who had nine catches for 125 yards. Arnaud, who had only two touchdown passes entering the game, went 20-for-28 for 190 yards and was not intercepted. Teammate Alexander Robinson set up a touchdown with a 65-yard run and finished with 103 yards in 12 carries. Johnson, a freshman, carried 12 times for 102 yards. It was the first time Iowa State had two 100-yard rushers in a game since the 2004 Independence Bowl. After Tech drew to 38-31 on Potts’ 10-yard TD pass to Eric Stephens, Arnaud took Iowa State on a 6-minute drive that he finished with a 4-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Kurt Hammerschmidt. Potts took Tech right back down the field for his final touchdown pass to Leong before Reeves returned the onside kick for a TD. Arnaud threw touchdown passes of 36 yards to Darius Reynolds and 14 yards to Josh Lenz. Tech got back in it with touchdowns 36 seconds apart at the end of the first half, then tied it in the third quarter on Matt Williams’ 24-yard field goal and Potts’ 21-yard TD pass to Leong.

FINAL 38 45

DALLAS (AP) - Taylor Potts threw for 462 yards and four touchdowns, and Texas Tech avoided its first-ever 0-3 start in the Big 12 as it held off Baylor 45-38 on Saturday. The Red Raiders (3-2, 1-2) were coming off consecutive losses to Texas and Iowa State. Texas Tech hadn’t been 0-3 in league play since 1990 when it was a member of the nowdefunct Southwest Conference. Potts, who completed 15 straight passes on one point in the first half and finished 42 of 59, guided an offense which gained 635 total yards. Baylor (4-2, 1-1) has dropped 15 consecutive games to Texas Tech. The Bears were looking to start 5-1 for the first time since 1994, the last year they played in a bowl game. Terrance Ganaway returned an onside kick for a touchdown and quarterback Robert Griffin threw for 384 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, including a 2-yard run that cut Texas Tech’s lead to 45-38 early in the fourth quarter. The Bears had chances to tie the game after that. They had a drive stall at the 16 when they couldn’t convert fourth-and-15. Baylor had one last opportunity when it took possession at its 34 with 57 seconds left. The Bears drove to the Tech 31, but time expired before they got off a final play. Saturday’s game was played at the Cotton Bowl, the second straight time Texas Tech and Baylor have faced off at a neutral site. Last season’s meeting was played at nearby Cowboys Stadium. Potts, who was 25 of 32 for 306 yards in the first half, threw a 3-yard scoring pass to Alex Torres that gave the Red Raiders a 28-21 lead in the second quarter. Torres also had a 1-yard TD in the opening quarter. The Texas Tech senior’s string of consecutive completions came to an end when he misfired on a short screen pass late in the first half. Two plays later, Potts connected with Lewis on a 10-yard score to cap a 92-yard drive and put the Red Raiders ahead 35-21. Kendall Wright, who had 145 yards receiving, hauled in a 62-yard touchdown pass from Griffin to bring Baylor within 35-28 with 1:17 left in the first half. The Bears went 82 yards on its opening drive, which was capped by Griffin’s 1-yard sneak. The Red Raiders answers when Eric Stephens broke free for a 10-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1. Texas Tech attempted an onside kick, but the ball didn’t travel the required 10 yards. After a Red Raiders player failed to touch the ball, Ganaway scooped up the loose ball and ran 38 yards for a touchdown.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Justin Blackmon had a career-high 207 yards receiving with a touchdown to lead No. 20 Oklahoma State to a 34-17 win over Texas Tech on Saturday, the Cowboys’ first in Lubbock since 1944. Blackmon’s 62-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was the longest play of the game and put the contest out of reach for the Cowboys. Brandon Weeden completed 24 of 35 passes for 356 yards, the touchdown and two interceptions. The Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) went ahead 21-0 in the first quarter after three rushing touchdowns - 15 yards by Kendall Hunter, and 4 yards each by Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith - and Texas Tech couldn’t put together enough offense in the second half to make it a contest. Blackmon’s previous career high for receiving yards came last week against Louisiana-Lafayette, when he had 13 catches for 190 yards. He caught 10 passes Saturday. Taylor Potts, who had 462 yards passing in last week’s 4538 win over Baylor, went 28 of 43 for 226 yards and a touchdown for Texas Tech (3-3, 1-3). During halftime he was taken to a hospital to be checked for a concussion after a hit in the jaw, Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. Potts returned and played the entire second half. It’s the second time in three years the Cowboys started 6-0, and the fourth time overall. Hunter, ranked fifth in the nation in rushing coming into the game, finished with 130 yards on 25 carries. He had been averaging 140. The Cowboys failed to score in their first possession of the second half for the first time this season. The drive ended when Bront Bird intercepted Weeden at the Texas Tech 26. A few plays into the drive Baron Batch fumbled and Jamie Blatnick recovered it for the Cowboys at their own 36. Two plays later, Weeden found Blackmon at about the Texas Tech 40 and the standout receiver ran along the sideline for the 62-yard scoring strike. The Red Raiders didn’t score until their sixth possession, their first drive of the second quarter, when Batch scored from the 1 to whittle the deficit to 21-7. After stopping the Cowboys, Texas Tech needed just 2:41 to pull closer. Potts faked a throw to the outside before finding Cornelius Douglas over the middle for a 28-yard touchdown that made it 21-14. Texas Tech looked lethargic in the first quarter as the Cowboys piled up 215 total yards to 38 for the Red Raiders. They punted five times and went three-and-out in their first three possessions. By the time the Red Raiders got their initial first down, they were already trailing 14-0. The Cowboys came out running the ball. On their second possession OSU ran on all five plays before Hunter, averaging 140 yards per game coming in, rumbled 15 yards for a touchdown - his 10th this season - to put the Cowboys up 7-0. Of the 61 yards on the drive, Kendall had 46. The Red Raiders struggled on defense too, giving up plays of at least 25 yards four times in the first quarter. Weeden went to his top receiver often and successfully. He found Blackmon four times for 74 yards in the first quarter alone.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Matt Williams’ 36-yard field goal with 2:09 left capped Texas Tech’s comeback from a 10-point deficit and gave the Red Raiders a 27-24 win over Colorado on Saturday. The Red Raiders (4-3, 2-3 Big 12) started the game-winning drive at midfield after Austin Zouzalik thwarted the Buffaloes’ rugby punt strategy by grabbing the line-drive at his 47. After Williams’ field goal, the Buffaloes (3-4, 0-3) turned the ball over on downs at their own 22 with 1:44 left when Cody Hawkins misfired on three throws and completed another for 2 yards. Hawkins replaced injured starter Tyler Hansen (ribs) late in the first half and led the Buffaloes to a field goal that gave them a 10-7 halftime lead. He then hooked up for two scores with freshman Paul Richardson as the Buffs built a 24-14 lead. Williams’ 40-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter made it 24-17, and after Aric Goodman was wide right on a 35-yard attempt for Colorado, the Red Raiders drove 80 yards in seven plays and tied it on Taylor Potts’ 7-yard touchdown pass to Lyle Leong with 11 minutes left. The Red Raiders were about to go ahead when Colorado cornerback Jalil Brown intercepted a fade pass in his end zone that was intended for Detron Lewis with six minutes remaining. But the Buffs were forced to punt and that’s when their strategy, which they hoped would result in a bouncing ball down the field, was thwarted by Zouzalik. Potts hit Lewis for 14 yards and Baron Batch ran for 14 more, setting up Williams’ game-winner. After a slow start, Potts completed 24 of 38 passes for 286 yards and two TDs. Alex Torres caught six passes for 133 yards, and Lewis had a half dozen receptions that covered 84 yards. For a while it looked like Hawkins would overshadow Potts. He hooked up with Richardson for TD passes of 3 and 60 yards as Richardson became the first freshman in school history to catch two touchdown throws in a game. Hansen was having a good game when he got hurt, completing all but one of his 10 passes and running for the game’s first score. But he was blasted by linebacker Tyrone Sonier just as he pitched the ball to tailback Rodney Stewart on an option play late in the first half. Hawkins came in and completed 6 of 9 passes for 77 yards but the Buffs’ drive stalled at the 3 and Goodman’s 23-yard field goal gave Colorado a 10-7 halftime lead. In between his two TD throws to Richardson, the Red Raiders capped a 93-yard drive with Potts’ 15-yard frozen rope touchdown throw to Torres. In the first half, Hansen’s 1-yard keeper put Colorado ahead 7-0, and the Red Raiders, who came in averaging 315 yards passing, had trouble getting going in Boulder’s thin air. Finally, Potts hit Torres for a 17-yard gain and Eric Stephens reeled off a 25-yard run after he decked out freshman safety Terrel Smith at the line of scrimmage. Smith was making his debut after discarding his redshirt in the face of an injury epidemic in the Buffs’ defensive backfield, where five players have suffered serious injuries.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Ryan Tannehill had a school-record 449 yards passing and four touchdowns in his first career start and Cyrus Gray ran for two more scores as Texas A&M beat Texas Tech 45-27 on Saturday. The Aggies (5-3, 2-2 Big 12) trailed 7-0 early, but Tannehill threw three touchdown passes in the first half to give Texas A&M a 24-14 halftime lead. Gray had touchdown runs of 54 and 2 yards in the third quarter to stretch the lead to 38-14. Taylor Potts threw for 227 yards and a touchdown for the Red Raiders (4-4, 2-4). But Texas Tech fumbled twice near the goal line and Potts was replaced by Steven Sheffield in the fourth quarter. Sheffield had 129 yards passing and two touchdowns. Jeff Fuller caught two of Tannehill’s touchdown passes and finished with 11 receptions for 171 yards to become the second player in Texas A&M history to reach 2000 career yards receiving. The Red Raiders opened the second half with a drive that included a 54-yard reception by Detron Lewis. It was halted when Lewis caught an 11-yard pass on the next play and fumbled the ball, which was recovered in the end zone by the Aggies. It was the second time Texas A&M recovered a fumble in their own end zone. Texas A&M’s offense got going in the second quarter with Tannehill finding Michael Lamothe on a 3-yard touchdown pass for a 10-7 lead. Lamothe added a touchdown on a 1-yard reception that made it 45-20 in the fourth quarter. Fuller’s first touchdown was on a 6-yard reception that pushed A&M’s lead to 17-7. Tech cut the lead to 17-14 when Lyle Leong caught a short pass from Potts and dashed untouched into the end zone about three minutes later. Adam James made his first catch of the season on a 12-yard reception on that drive. He took a hard hit on the play that drew a flag on Texas A&M’s Von Miller. Former Tech coach Mike Leach was fired in December amid allegations that he mistreated James after he suffered a concussion. Fuller gave the Aggies a 24-14 lead after a 2-yard touchdown catch with 9 seconds left in the first half. That drive was helped by two personal fouls on Tech for targeting defenseless receivers. Texas Tech jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when Eric Stephens scored on a 1-yard run midway through the first quarter. The Red Raiders took possession after Texas A&M’s pass on fourth-and-1 from the Tech 48 was batted down. Texas Tech forced a fumble by the Aggies on its next possession and was about to stretch the lead to two touchdowns, but Stephens fumbled near the goal line and Texas A&M recovered. The Aggies capitalized on that error with a 28-yard field goal by Randy Bullock that cut the lead to 7-3. Texas A&M running back Christine Michael suffered a broken right tibia on a carry in the third quarter.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Taylor Potts came off the bench and threw for 188 yards and three touchdowns to lead Texas Tech over No. 14 Missouri 24-17 on Saturday. Potts didn’t start for the first time this season but came in late in the first half and threw TD passes of 8, 5 and 16 yards on three straight possessions by the Red Raiders (5-4, 3-4 Big 12) spanning the halves to wipe out a 17-3 deficit. Missouri disappeared for two quarters, but Zaviar Gooden’s interception at the Tigers 2 kept the game close. Still, the Tigers failed to move the ball into Red Raiders territory. Blaine Gabbert completed 12-of-30 passes for 95 yards for the Tigers (7-2, 3-2), who have lost two straight and will have a tough time making up the difference on first-place Nebraska. Missouri lost to the Cornhuskers last week. Red Raiders coach Tommy Tuberville has said all season he wanted his team to get 150 rushing yards a game. Texas Tech got 198 yards on 51 carries, with Baron Batch going for 134. Missouri had chances with less than five minutes remaining in the game. Gabbert threw two passes into the end zone from Texas Tech’s 34 that appeared catchable. But neither Wes Kemp nor Jerrell Jackson could pull the ball in for a tying score. Potts watched from the sideline as backup quarterback Steven Sheffield started. Sheffield completed 11-of20 passes for 99 yards. When Potts went in the Red Raiders offense began to click at the same time that Missouri’s began to struggle. After the first quarter, Gabbert’s passes lacked accuracy. He completed only three in the third quarter for 15 yards. On the third play from scrimmage, Marcus Murphy took a pitch from Gabbert and rumbled 69 yards for a 7-0. It was the longest rushing play of the season for Missouri. The teams traded three-and-outs before Kendial Lawrence bested Murphy’s run and went 71 yards untouched along the far sideline to make it 14-0. The two TD runs gave Missouri just 2 fewer yards (140) than they got the whole game in its 31-17 loss at Nebraska (142). The Tigers finished with 260 rushing yards on 31 carries. Lawrence had 102 yards on six carries Sheffield, who started his first game of the season, struggled to put drives together. On five of the seven drives with Sheffield taking snaps the Red Raiders punted. They got a field goal to trail 14-3 and lost a fumble on the other two possessions. With about five minutes left in the half Tuberville pulled Sheffield and put in Potts, who promptly led Texas Tech on 16-play drive, capping it with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Detron Lewis. After dominating the first quarter, Missouri got 85 total yards in the second and 22 in the third. The Tigers managed only three first downs in the second half.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -Ryan Broyles caught three of Landry Jones’ five touchdown passes and broke a few more Oklahoma records, leading the 19th-ranked Sooners to a 45-7 victory against Texas Tech on Saturday. Broyles caught eight passes for 119 yards and broke Mark Clayton’s career records for receptions and touchdown catches at Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2 Big 12). He also eclipsed his own mark for catches in a season and now holds almost every significant receiving record at the school. Broyles tumbled backward into the end zone after an acrobatic 29-yard catch in the second quarter and later added an 18-yard touchdown catch and a leaping 8-yard TD grab on a fade route. Texas Tech (5-5, 3-5) scored on Detron Lewis’ touchdown pass to fellow receiver Darrin Moore out of the wildcat formation but then gave up 38 straight points. Jones surpassed 300 yards passing for the seventh time this season, completing 22 of 29 passes for 317 yards. He also had a 12-yard touchdown pass to DeMarco Murray on Oklahoma’s first possession and a 59-yard score on a deep ball to Kenny Stills. It was the third straight blowout by the home team in the series. The Sooners came up with a memorable 65-21 rout against the No. 2 Red Raiders two years ago, derailing Tech’s bid at perfection in the next-to-last game of the regular season. The Red Raiders got a measure of revenge last season with a 41-13 victory in the rematch, celebrating to the same song - House of Pain’s “Jump Around” - that the Sooners jubilantly bounced to in 2008. The stakes weren’t nearly so high in this one. Oklahoma bounced back from its fourth straight conference road loss to stretch the nation’s longest home winning streak to 36, in the process keeping alive its chances of winning the Big 12 South title. Tech, which has been eligible for a bowl game each of the last 16 years, remained one win shy with only nonconference home games against Weber State and Houston left on the schedule. The Sooners got a scare when Murray went to the locker room in the second quarter after trainers were examining his chest, but he came back for the opening series of the second half. Starting defensive tackle Adrian Taylor didn’t return after he was wheeled off the field in a cart later in the second quarter. He was unable to put weight on his right foot. Oklahoma is already without its other starting defensive tackle, Casey Walker, due to injury. After allowing a season-best 95 yards passing by Blaine Gabbert in an upset of then-No. 14 Missouri last week, Texas Tech’s defense returned to its usual struggles. Jones threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns in the first half against the defense that ranks third-to-last in the nation against the pass, guiding the Sooners to a 38-7 advantage. Broyles’ 15-yard catch on Oklahoma’s second play of the game broke a tie with Clayton for the school record for career receptions at 221. His leaping catch over Jarvis Phillips in the third quarter stretched the lead to 45-7 and gave him 32 receptions for touchdowns in his career, one more than Clayton. He also matched Clayton’s records with eight 100-yard games in a season and 15 in a career.

21 of 24 for 272 yards. The senior quarterback threw for only 136 yards and had two interceptions in a 45-7 loss at Oklahoma last week. He had no picks Saturday. “It’s what we’ve been looking for all year,” Potts said of Saturday’s offensive effort. “Today was kind of a day everything seemed to work well. It felt like at times we had 11 guys playing at the exact same time, when in the past it felt like we were missing a couple of guys on certain plays that could help.” Red Raiders backup quarterback Stephen Sheffield, also a senior, came in just before halftime and threw a 15-yard TD to Aron Crawford to put Texas Tech up 44-0 at halftime. Batch and Ben McRoy together scored three rushing TDs. Weber State (6-5, 5-3 Big Sky) scored in the third quarter when Cameron Higgins hit Brian Jankowski for a 6-yard touchdown to make it 47-7. In the fourth quarter, running back Vaingamalie Tafuna scored on a 3-yard run and backup quarterback Mike Hoke hit Bo Bolen for a 30-yarder to make it 64-21. “We just didn’t play well, plain and simple,” Weber State coach Ron McBride said. “Offensively, they did just about everything they wanted to us.” The Wildcats lost their starting tackle Tytan Timoteo late in the first quarter when he was ejected from the game after getting a personal foul for throwing a punch.

FINAL 21 64

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -Taylor Potts threw for three touchdowns and ran for another -- all in the first half -- to lead Texas Tech over Weber State 64-21 on Saturday. The win made the Red Raiders (6-5) bowl eligible for an 18th straight year -- they’ve gotten berths the past 10 years. “This was a good confidence builder,” Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “We needed it. I mean, every game for us this year has been down to the wire. So our guys, you know, they needed to play a game like this. We executed, went out, made plays, ran the ball... We looked like a good football team.” Texas Tech tallied 669 total yards and 34 first downs. The running game made up more than half the total, 230 yards on 40 carries. Potts, coming off his worst game in 19 career starts, hit Baron Batch for a 4-yard touchdown and Lyle Leong for a 7-yarder in the first quarter. Detron Lewis caught a 6-yard TD in the second quarter to put Texas Tech up 37-0. Potts finished

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -Taylor Potts threw for 373 yards and four touchdowns to lead Texas Tech over Houston 35-20 on Saturday night. Potts completed 32 of 46 passes with an interception for the Red Raiders (7-5). Texas Tech kept the Cougars (5-7) from becoming bowl eligible and avenged a 1-point defeat at Houston last season. Houston moved the ball well between the 20-yard lines, but couldn’t get it across the goal line enough. The Cougars pulled within 28-20 on a 13-yard pass from David Piland to Tyron Carrier early in the fourth quarter. But Texas Tech came right back, as Potts threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Lyle Leong to cap a 92-yard drive. Piland, a true freshman, completed 32 of 61 passes for 441 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Houston is now 8-6 against the Red Raiders in Lubbock. Last year, Cougars quarterback Case Keenum scored on a 4-yard run with 49 seconds left to beat Texas Tech, 29-28. The Cougars outgained the Red Raiders 585-488, but Texas Tech made more of their yards. Potts surpassed the 3,000-yard passing mark for the season in the first quarter. Texas Tech, predominantly a passing team under former coach Mike Leach, now has had a quarterback pass for 3,000 yards in 11 straight seasons. In the third quarter, Potts faked to running back Baron Batch and kept it for a 28-yard rush to put the Red Raiders at the 16-yard line. Two plays later, Potts found Batch on a screen pass, and he battled through two tacklers before getting into the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 28-13. Potts found Lewis for two touchdowns in the first half. The pair connected for a 6-yard score on the Red Raiders’ first possession of the game. The second touchdown pass to Lewis - a 9-yarder - came at the end of Texas Tech’s first drive of the second quarter to give it a 21-10 lead. The score came after Tech got great field position on the Houston 47 after Houston punter Richie Leone’s failure to get a first down on a fake punt on fourth-and-9. After the teams traded interceptions on successive plays in the first quarter, Houston drove to Piland’s 7-yard TD pass to Johnson that put the Cougars up 10-7. Running back Eric Stephens put Tech back in front 14-10 on a 26-yard score with 1:13 left in the first quarter.

2010 TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL MEDIA CLIPS

GAME RECAPS

Szymanski kicked a school-record 61-yard field goal on the Mustangs’ next possession, after they were backed up by a Bront Bird sack.

Game 1 – September 5, 2010 Texas Tech 35, SMU 27 Lubbock, Texas Jones AT&T Stadium (57,582 – Attendance)

“I think it was a combination of guys being in the right place at the right time, and playing within the scheme of the defense,” Willis said. “I don’t care what you do, if everybody believes in it, if everybody plays hard and gives total effort, you’re going to come out making plays like that.”

Defense gets it done in Tech’s season-opening win against SMU

Willis said the defense’s biggest question mark coming in was its youth in the secondary, where it has only two upperclassmen in the two-deep and two new starters at cornerback. But the defensive backfield was a strength on Sunday.

September 5, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal LUBBOCK, Texas - The offense provided plenty of fireworks, racking up 431 total yards and scoring five touchdowns. But in Tommy Tuberville’s inaugural game as head coach, it was the defense that ignited Texas Tech and eventually snuffed out a late burst by SMU. Texas Tech’s Cody Davis breaks up a pass intended for Southern Methodist’s Cole Beasley during Tech’s 35-27 win Sunday at Jones AT&T Stadium. (Zach Long) Tech turned two of its three interceptions into touchdowns on Sunday, and senior Brian Duncan had a dazzling debut at a new position. The middle linebacker-turned-defensive end recorded three sacks, the last two of which secured the Red Raiders’ 35-27 victory before a season-opening crowd of 57,528 at Jones AT&T Stadium. “Our theme for the year is start fast and finish strong, and no matter what the score is, no matter what the situation is, those guys finished,” Tech defensive coordinator James Willis said. “They did get the job done in the end and made the play when it counted, and I think we’ll grow from that as a defense and as a team.” Duncan, Tech’s leading tackler each of the last two seasons, entered the game with one-half sack for his career. He registered a full one only four plays in, and two more when SMU (0-1) had the ball near midfield, an eight-point deficit and less than two minutes of clock time. Duncan sacked Kyle Padron for a 6-yard loss on second down, and two plays later, he ended the Mustangs’ chance for an upset with another one. “I’m most definitely excited,” Duncan said. “Coming in with point-five sacks and leaving with three, I give glory to God. It’s awesome, and I give credit to my team.” The Red Raiders (1-0) registered two more sacks, and both kept points off the board in the second half. Tyrone Sonier brought down Padron on third-and-goal from Tech’s 3-yard line – after a 92-yard kickoff return by Darryl Fields – so SMU had to settle for a short field goal by Matt Szymanski late in the third quarter.

Safety Franklin Mitchem was Tech’s leading tackler with six and recovered a fumble on special teams that led to the game’s opening score. Safety Cody Davis and cornerbacks Will Ford and Jarvis Phillips made five tackles apiece. Interceptions by Phillips, a redshirt freshman, and sophomore D.J. Johnson led to touchdowns for the Red Raiders. Cornerback Tre’ Porter, a true freshman, also picked off a pass. “We’re definitely young, but that doesn’t mean we can’t go out and make plays,” said Davis, a sophomore. “We’ve just got to get poised, communicate and do what we do.” The defense’s day wasn’t perfect. A missed interception by Davis led to a Cole Beasley touchdown catch, which brought SMU within out eight points midway through the fourth quarter, and no one was near Beasley when he hauled in a 19-yard TD pass early in the first half. The Mustangs’ 27 points and 5.3 yards per rushing attempt also weren’t satisfactory to Tuberville, who categorized the defense as a “work in progress.” But he liked the result and most of what he saw against SMU coach June Jones and his run-and-shoot attack. “I thought the defense played excellent,” Tuberville said. “I was really, really concerned with the young defensive backs, new scheme, we’re playing a team that runs every formation in the book, and they threw it all at us. “But you just go back and look at the sacks that we had from our D-line, and putting pressure on the quarterback at the end, I thought it was huge.”

Game 2 – September 11, 2010 Texas Tech 52, New Mexico 17 Albuquerque, N.M. University Stadium (25,734 – Attendance)

Special teams’ turnaround fuels Raiders’ rout of Lobos September 12, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Texas Tech’s offense committed two turnovers on Saturday night, and its defense was torched at times by New Mexico quarterback B.R. Holbrook. Fortunately for the Red Raiders, their play on special teams was, well, special. Two blocked punts led to short touchdown runs, as did a 93yard kickoff return by Eric Stephens. And a week after having two field goals blocked, Matt Williams booted his only attempt through the uprights as Tech beat New Mexico 5217 in front of 25,734 fans at University Stadium. “It was about as good as I’ve seen the special teams play in a long time — blocking kicks, running back punts, running back kickoff returns,” Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville said. “It was excellent. We needed that.” Stephens, who scored one of the TDs and accounted for 264 all-purpose yards, racked up 175 kick-return yards in the first half to move into third place on Tech’s career list. The sophomore from Mansfield, who set the Red Raiders’ singleseason record as a freshman, needs 189 more kick-return yards to tie career leader Donny Anderson. Stephens’ 93-yard return, a career long, led to a 2-yard touchdown run by Baron Batch and helped Tech race out to a 21-3 lead in the first quarter. “He’s getting better,” Tuberville said of Stephens, who finished with a team-high 46 rushing yards and 43 receiving yards on three catches. “The thing about him is he’s got so good of vision on those returns, but we’ve got to get more just in the offense. He’s too good a back for us to not get more yards in the running game.” Tech’s first blocked punt also led to the large early lead. At the end of New Mexico’s first offensive possession, Aaron Crawford stuffed a punt by Ben Skaer. Tech’s Jonathan Brydon recovered it at the New Mexico 3-yard line, and Stephens ran it in on the next play. The Red Raiders (2-0) went up 31-10 in the second quarter on Taylor Potts’ fourth touchdown pass of the season to Lyle Leong. The former high school teammates from Abilene connected for a fifth touchdown in the fourth quarter but the Lobos closed the deficit to 31-17 at halftime. Tech regained the momentum, and started to pull away, with the second blocked punt on the opening possession of the

second half. Brydon took care of everything this time, blocking a kick that rolled out of bounds at the Lobos’ 1-yard line, and Batch scored on the next play. “It’s pretty cool,” Brydon said of his contributions. “When you get on the field you really want to make a difference for your team and help the team out, so it feels good to help the team out.” Tech’s seldom-used punt team performed nearly as well as its return unit, with Jonathan LaCour averaging 47.5 yards on two attempts. His last punt covered 53 yards and was downed at the New Mexico 3. The Red Raiders also welcomed back punt returner Austin Zouzalik, who missed last week’s opener against SMU following an appendectomy, but the sophomore from Coronado made a bigger mark on offense. He scored less than one minute into the game on Tech’s fourth play from scrimmage. Zouzalik caught a screen pass from Potts and raced untouched down the right sideline for a 55-yard touchdown. It was a career-long reception for Zouzalik. Alex Torres, another sophomore receiver who missed the SMU game with a back injury, also made his season debut and caught two passes for 7 yards. Quarterback Steven Sheffield and offensive lineman Mickey Okafor, who missed the opener following a preseason concussion, were two more Tech players to see their first action of 2010. Sheffield replaced Potts with 10:22 left in the game and scored on a 10-yard scramble two plays later. Sheffield completed 2 of 7 passes for 17 yards. Potts threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns on 22-of-34 passing. He fumbled late in the first half but has yet to throw an interception this season. Tech’s young defensive backfield, which lost senior safety Franklin Mitchem to a right knee injury in the first quarter, recorded two more interceptions and now has five for the season. Will Ford picked off a pass late in the third quarter, and freshman Jarvis Phillips’ second interception of the season led to Sheffield’s score. New Mexico (0-2), which lost 72-0 at Oregon last week, scored two touchdowns in the first half. Holbrook, a sophomore who threw for a career-high 323 yards, connected with Lucas Reed for a 9-yard touchdown with 4:42 left in the second quarter. On the Lobos’ next possession, Holbrook fumbled at the end of an 11-yard run. But Chris Hernandez picked it up and ran 45 yards into the end zone, pulling New Mexico to within 14 points during the final minute of the first half. But Tech made another critical play on special teams early in the second half and dominated the rest of the game. “It’s good to see the entire team functioning together,” Tuberville said. “We’re coming together more as a team than we have been.”

Game 3 – September 18, 2010 #4 Texas 24, Texas Tech 14 Lubbock, Texas Jones AT&T Stadium (60,454 – Attendance)

Key second-half drive helps Longhorns leave Lubbock with 24-14 win against Raiders September 18, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal For most of Saturday night’s Big 12 Conference opener, Texas Tech proved it was just as tough and every bit as good as sixth-ranked Texas. But when they had a chance to prove they could beat the Longhorns, the Red Raiders couldn’t quite cut it. A poor throw by Tech quarterback Taylor Potts and two poor decisions by cornerback Will Ford helped Texas turn a tense game in its favor, and the Longhorns escaped a sold-out Jones AT&T Stadium with a 24-14 victory. “We just killed ourselves,” said first-year Tech coach Tommy Tuberville, who also lamented a Red Raider running game that finished with negative-14 yards on 18 attempts. The Red Raiders (2-1, 0-1 Big 12) committed three turnovers and finished with 144 total yards – their lowest offensive output since a 1990 game against a Miami team with Tuberville on its defensive staff – but still had the ball on Texas’ 16-yard line with the score tied early in the second half. That’s when Potts threw his second interception of the game to UT defensive back Curtis Brown, who returned it all the way to the Tech 12 to set up a 27-yard field goal by Justin Tucker that gave the Longhorns a 17-14 lead with 8:39 left in the third quarter. “The turning point of the game,” Tuberville said. “Their nickel back just read (Potts) all the way. He looked at the receiver, and you can’t do that against experienced defensive backs.” Steven Sheffield replaced Potts on Tech’s ensuing possession but didn’t fare any better, throwing one incompletion and being sacked once on a three-and-out. Potts returned on the next possession and finished out the game, completing 21 of 35 passes for 158 yards and one touchdown with the two picks. Tuberville said the plan all along was for Sheffield to play at some point. The coach also said Potts “got hit pretty good” on the interception to Brown. “We gave Steven a chance to try to make a play while Taylor got his breath back,” Tuberville said, “and obviously we didn’t do much in that situation, either.”

The Longhorns (3-0, 1-0) got the ball back with about four minutes left in the third quarter and put the game away with a 22-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that took more than nine minutes off the clock, using some gutsy play-calling, a couple clutch throws by sophomore quarterback Garrett Gilbert and overzealousness on the part of Ford. Ryan Roberson, who did not get a carry in Texas’ first two games of the season, took a direct snap out of a punt formation and gained 2 yards on fourth-and-1 from the UT 29. Gilbert extended the drive with a pair of third-down completions to James Kirkendoll, Cody Johnson converted another fourth down along the way, and Gilbert put Texas in the end zone when he faked a handoff, rolled to his right and found tight end Barrett Matthews for a 1-yard score on thirdand-goal. The touchdown would not have been possible, though, if not for two personal-foul penalties against Ford, Tech’s sophomore cornerback. His unnecessary roughness penalty sent the Longhorns across midfield, and then Ford was flagged for taunting Greg Smith after the UT tight end dropped a pass on third-and-13 from the Tech 27. “Two personal fouls on the same drive inside the 50, that’s something you can’t do,” Tech defensive coordinator James Willis said. “Those go back to being disciplined as a team, disciplined as a player and doing the right things. We can’t allow one individual to tear the team down, and that was one instance where one guy really hurt us right there.” The Longhorns’ long drive aside, Tech’s defense held its own behind monster performances by defensive end Scott Smith and freshman cornerback Jarvis Phillips. Smith registered two sacks, forced a fumble, intercepted a pass and tipped another throw right to Phillips, who returned the pick 87 yards for Tech’s first touchdown of the game. Phillips, who had interceptions in each of the Raiders’ first two games, snuffed out a potential UT scoring drive later in the first half with a shoestring grab at the Tech 19. Tech’s offense didn’t do its job, though. The Raiders didn’t record a first down until the second quarter and were 3 of 13 on third down, and they had the team’s least productive day in 20 years in terms of yardage. About the only bright spot was a six-play, 68-yard scoring drive early in the second quarter. Baron Batch ignited it with a 25-yard run on the first play – the Raiders’ longest rush of the season – and Potts capped it with his sixth TD pass of the season to former high school teammate Lyle Leong. “Obviously a very poor performance on the offensive side of the ball, and you don’t need to be a brain scientist to figure that out,” Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. “We’re not going to beat anybody like that, much less Texas.”

Key second-half drive helps Longhorns leave Lubbock with 24-14 win against Raiders October 2, 2010 David Just Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

AMES, Iowa — Two years ago, Paul Rhoads worked for Tommy Tuberville as Auburn’s defensive coordinator. But did all that experience practicing against Tuberville’s offense make the difference Saturday? Iowa State beat Texas Tech 52-38, just the second time the Cyclones have ever defeated the Red Raiders. Texas Tech finished with 377 passing yards compared to Iowa States 190, but also had two fumbles and an interception. The last time Iowa State scored 50 points was in 2002. Iowa State picked up 17 yards and a first down on a fake punt late in the first quarter. It was the first promising play by either team, as both staggered through short drives early on. Iowa State was called for pass interference on a 13yard touchdown pass, with a 15-yard penalty placing the ball on the Tech 25. Tech was called for grabbing a facemask and ISU for holding before the first quarter ended with ISU standing on Tech’s 20. Colby Whitlock broke up a touchdown pass to keep the Cyclones there, and ISU kicker Grant Mahoney made a field goal to get on the board as the second quarter opened. Iowa State made it 10-0 on its longest scoring pass play of the year, throwing the ball 36 yards to Darius Reynolds with 11:17 left in the second. ISU’s Josh Lenz caught his first career touchdown pass five minutes later, giving the Cyclones a 17-0 lead and putting Tech in its biggest hole of the season. Then Alexander Robinson ran the ball in to make it 24-0, Tech’s biggest deficit since losing to Mississippi in the Cotton Bowl.

Texas Tech did put points on the board before halftime. With 2:08 left in the second quarter, Eric Stephens caught an 11-yard pass, which ISU’s Jake Knott caused him to fumble. Stephens recovered in the end zone, though, and after review Tech’s score stood. Tech scored again, seemingly while no one was watching. Iowa State botched the snap on a punt, and Cornelius Douglas fell on the ball to recover for Tech at the ISU 20. Potts found Lyle Leong in the end zone for a one-play, nine-second scoring drive with nine seconds remaining in the first half. Tech moved within a touchdown after halftime. Kicker Matt Williams, who missed a 48-yard field goal in the first quarter connected on a 24-yarder to make it 2417. To tie the game, Potts found Leong for another touchdown, marking the receiver’s third multitouchdown game of the season. This one was 21 yards and came with 2:04 to play in the third quarter. Tech seemed to have settled down, scoring 24 consecutive points and controlling the ball half of the third quarter, after having possession for 11:16 of the 30-minute first half. Yet Iowa State’s offense regrouped in the fourth quarter, retaking the lead on a 27-yard touchdown pass to tight end Collin Franklin. Tech’s next drive went three-and-out. Iowa State got the ball back on its own 39, and Shontrelle Johnson took a handoff and ran it back 61 yards. Potts passed to Eric Stephens for a 10-yard touchdown with 10 minutes on the clock. Iowa State found tight end Kurt Hammerschmidt for another touchdown. Tech tried to stay in it with Potts’ third touchdown pass to Leong, but Jeremy Reeves returned the kickoff for a touchdown. The final blow came with 21 seconds remaining, when A.J. Klein intercepted a pass by Potts.

for 67 yards and no scores, had seven receptions for 82 yards on Saturday.

Back on Track?: Potts has career game as offensive line, Torres return to previous form

Detron Lewis led the Tech receivers with 11 catches for 95 yards and a TD, and offensive coordinator Neal Brown praised the group as much for its blocking as its catching. He said the wideouts, particularly Cornelius Douglas and Tramain Swindall, had a large hand in the Raiders’ running game.

October 10, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal DALLAS — Those clamoring to see the Texas Tech offense of old finally got their wish on Saturday. The Red Raiders got a career performance from Taylor Potts, a return to form from Alex Torres and improvement from the offensive line. They were balanced, efficient, creative and, most importantly, more productive than they had been all season. They needed every bit of it to hold off Baylor 45-38 in a key Big 12 Conference game in front of 48,213 fans at the Cotton Bowl. “It was absolutely the best performance (this season), but we have so much more potential,” said Tech running back Baron Batch, who scored twice and accounted for 123 total yards. “We’ve just got to keep going to work, and we’re going to be good.” Tech (3-2, 1-2 in Big 12), which stopped a two-game skid and gave Tommy Tuberville his first conference win as head coach, scored touchdowns on four of its first five possessions to win a first-half track meet with the Bears (4-2, 1-1). They added a Matt Williams field goal and another TD to start the second half before cooling off and failing to score on their last four possessions. By then, though, enough damage had been done. The Red Raiders racked up season highs of 173 rushing yards, 635 total yards and 35 first downs. They also ran 95 plays, their most since snapping the ball 111 times in a 2003 game against Iowa State. “We’re getting in rhythm, guys are understanding what to do, and we’ve able to run the ball better last week and this week,” Tuberville said. “If that continues to work, we’ll be able to score a lot of points.” Potts passed for four touchdowns and a career-high 462 yards — also a record for the Cotton Bowl — completing 71 percent of his attempts and connecting with eight different receivers. The senior from Abilene also ran 43 yards to the Baylor 1 — Tech’s longest rushing play of the season — on a zone-read keeper late in the first quarter. Torres snagged the first of his two touchdown passes two plays later to ignite his best game of the season. Last year’s receptions leader, who missed the first game of the year with a back injury and entered the Baylor game with 10 catches

“I’m back,” Torres said, “and it feels good to be back.”

“They didn’t catch a lot of balls today, but they blocked really, really well,” Brown said. “I thought that was a big factor.” Brown said Tech’s offensive line, which had the same lineup for the third consecutive game, also deserved credit. Potts was sacked only twice on 61 pass plays, and the Raiders averaged 4.8 yards per rushing attempt. Batch finished with a season-high 97 rushing yards on 17 carries, scoring on a 37-yard scamper in the second quarter. Eric Stephens, who gained 52 yards on 14 carries, scored Tech’s first touchdown out of the Wildcat formation. On fourth-and-1 from the Baylor 10, with backup quarterback Steven Sheffield lined up as a receiver and Harrison Jeffers in motion, Stephens took a direct snap and was nearly untouched as he sprinted to the front-right corner of the end zone. “We’re just trying to get our best players the ball, and I thought Eric Stephens made a great run on that,” Brown said. “They kind of blitzed it, and he did a good job reading the play and bouncing it outside.” It was a good job all the way around for the Red Raiders, but they thought it still could have been better. Potts committed the game’s only turnover when his tipped pass was intercepted by Prince Kent, which set up Baylor’s last touchdown, and Tech punted on all three of its possessions in the fourth quarter as the defense had to hold off a late push by the Bears. “We didn’t finish like we should have,” Potts said. “We didn’t finish near as good as we had played the first three quarters, and that’s something we definitely need.”

Game 6 – October 16, 2010 #18 Oklahoma State 34, Texas Tech 17 Lubbock, Texas Jones AT&T Stadium (60,454 – Attendance)

Tech smarting after lackluster showing against OSU October 18, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech players have long had an informal “24-hour rule” — 24 hours to process the last game, good or bad, before directing their attention toward the next. But a day after a 34-17 home loss to Oklahoma State, the Red Raiders were pushing the limits of the guideline. “They’re not over it yet,” offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. “It’ll take a day. We didn’t play very well. ... The guys are down and deservedly so, because that was a game that was winnable, and I thought Oklahoma State kind of took the fight to our guys.” Some recurring themes reared their heads again Saturday: The offense didn’t get any traction in the first quarter, Tech dug itself a big hole before trying to rally, and the Red Raiders gave up a season-high yardage total for the third week in a row. Defensive coordinator James Willis watched his players allow 581 yards to Oklahoma State after they’d allowed 507 to Baylor and 441 at Iowa State. “You always go back and assess the damage,” Willis said. “You look at what’s happening and why and you stay on track. The one thing we cannot do as coaches and players is abandon ship. Yes, things are going bad. We have to ask ourselves why they’re going bad and how we can fix them.” Tech (3-3, 1-3 in the Big 12 Conference) managed one first down in its first five possessions. Fourteen minutes into the game, Oklahoma State (6-0, 2-0) had a 21-0 lead and minimized the impact of a Jones AT&T Stadium crowd of 60,454. It was nothing new for a team that fell behind Texas 14-0, Iowa State 24-0 and Baylor by three seven-point deficits. Brown said coaches will keep trying to uncover the reason for the Raiders’ slow starts, “from pregame to what we eat to how we practice.” “There’s no excuse for it,” he said. “You play 12 games a year, and if you’re not ready to go, I don’t understand it. ... I tell them all the time, ‘It’s 12 months for 12 games,’ so there’s no excuse for not being ready to play in any game, much less being early, especially on a home game when we had a sellout crowd.”

Tech frittered away four of its first five possessions with three-and-out series. Brown said dropped passes, missed assignments and bad techniques all factored in. “We basically ran the same opening script that we did against Baylor,” he said. “We just executed it better against them (the Bears).” Tech planned to pass a lot against Oklahoma State, but more or less discarded the idea with the Cowboys emptying out the box and daring Tech to run. The Red Raiders did, with Eric Stephens and Baron Batch going for 99 and 83 yards, respectively. But Tech couldn’t overcome its miscues. “We’re a drive-oriented offense,” Brown said. “We’re not going to hit a ton of big plays. ... It’s going to be 10 or 12 plays for us to score, but we’re capable of doing that. We’re capable of doing it against good people, but we can’t overcome negative plays, and when we have drops and penalties and things like that, we’re going to have a hard time overcoming those.” Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon, who had at least 100 receiving yards and a touchdown in his first five games of the season, hurt Tech even worse with 10 catches for 207 yards. After Tech rallied within 24-14 at halftime, Blackmon caught a 62-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter. The presence of running back Kendall Hunter, who ran for 130 yards, had the Raiders picking their poison and unable to devote extra men to Blackmon. “You would have loved to have doubled (double covered) a guy like that,” Willis said. “But when you double him, you take another guy out of the box to stop the run. You try to slow him down — put somebody over the top of him, put somebody underneath him sometimes and try to roll coverage toward him some. “But the thing about that offense, they’re so good as far as they’re not very (predictable) tendency-wise. You can’t think, ‘Second-and-long, they’re probably going to throw the ball.’ No, they’re all over the place. So you have to be sound in everything you do.” In that regard, Willis said the Raiders have been lacking lately. “It’s just basic,” he said. “It’s a guy had the wrong hole. It’s a guy’s eyes in the wrong place. It’s a guy missing a tackle. These are things we have to address and be honest with ourselves as far as, do we have the right people doing the right things? Now are we doing the right things as a staff?”

Game 7 – October 23, 2010 Texas Tech 27, Colorado 24 Boulder, Colo. Folsom Field (47,665 – Attendance)

Raiders rally past Colorado 27-24 for first win in Boulder October 23, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal BOULDER, Colo. – Texas Tech’s oh-for-forever streak in Colorado is history. Because of that, maybe there’s still hope for the Red Raiders’ season. With Tech in danger of dipping below .500 after seven games for the first time since 1994, the Red Raiders put together a solid all-around fourth quarter to rally past Colorado 27-24 on a scenic sunny Saturday in the foothills of the Rockies. Colorado (3-4, 0-3 in the Big 12 Conference) led 24-14, but was outscored 13-0 in the fourth quarter as Matt Williams sandwiched two field goals around a 7-yard Taylor Potts-toLyle Leong touchdown pass. Williams’ 36-yard field goal with 2:08 left gave the Red Raiders their only lead all day. “It’s huge for us, getting to 4-3 after our first win on the road, really, in terms of being in another team’s stadium,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “You need to win like this to get some confidence on both sides of the ball and in the kicking game. We played better today. That’s one of the better overall games we’ve played.” Tech (4-3, 2-3) put together four solid drives in the final 20 minutes at the same time its defense was chipping in four three-and-out sequences. Colorado had all the momentum after backup quarterback Cody Hawkins threw two thirdquarter touchdown passes to freshman wide receiver Paul Richardson. The latter was a 60-yard bomb that Richardson caught over cornerback D.J. Johnson down the right sideline. With a 10point lead and a Folsom Field crowd of 47,665 behind them, the Buffaloes seemed home free or close to it. “Somehow, someway, today we kept our presence about us and didn’t panic when we were 10 points back,” Tuberville said. “We were able to make enough plays to win the game.”

The Red Raiders gained 223 of their 430 yards in the final 20 minutes, mixing effective runs and passes. A 30-yard burst by Eric Stephens sparked a drive that led to a Williams field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter. Colorado then blew a chance to add to its 24-17 after Tech’s Blake Kelley inadvertently let a punt hit him and the Buffs recovered at the Tech 23. But Aric Goodman’s 35-yard field goal from the right hashmark stayed right, so it remained a one-score game with almost 13 minutes left. Tech went and got the tying touchdown on an 80-yard march fueled by 15- and 32-yard catches by Detron Lewis, the latter taking the Raiders inside the CU 10. From the 7, Leong ran a fade route, stepped back from cornerback Jimmy Smith and made the catch easily to help Tech get even at 24 with 10:54 to go. The defense rose up again to force two quick punts and the Raiders took advantage on a drive that started at the 4:26 mark. From a trips-right formation, Lewis took a screen pass and made 14 yards behind good blocks from Alex Torres and Tramain Swindall. Four running plays in a row, starting with a 14-yard gain from Baron Batch, burned clock and brought on Williams. His field goal from the right hash stayed true all the way. Though the kick was Williams’ first game winner in college, Potts pointed out that Tuberville put his kickers in pressure situations every day at the end of August workouts. Miss the field goal, and the whole team runs. “So we’ve done that a lot,” Potts said. “He (Williams) has had some people mad at him a few times. After a hard two-aday, we have to run, but he went out there and did what he’s supposed to.” Stephens led the Tech rushing attack with 94 yards on 15 carries. The Red Raiders topped 150 yards on the ground for the third week in a row. “Mainly, it’s the dive and the zone,” Stephens said. “The dive and the zone have been opening up great for us the last couple of weeks, so we try to favor those plays a little more than the stretches and the counters.” Colorado starting quarterback Tyler Hansen left the game with bruised ribs in the second quarter. Hawkins, a senior and a starter for much of his career, completed 22 of 43 for 274 yards and two touchdowns. Tech limited CU to 34 yards on its last six possessions.

The win was Tech’s first at Colorado in five trips. The timing couldn’t have been much better with the Raiders coming off a 1-3 stretch that dropped them out of conference contention by midseason. “I hope everybody remembers this,” Potts said. “To go on the road, a place that we’ve never won before in school history, we go out and get the win and come from behind to win it. It’s something to build off of, something to kind of hang your hat on.”

“They were crowding the box a bit, which took away the running game,” CU coach Dan Hawkins said. “It kind of forced us to throw. We got a couple of throws, and then we were just off on a few.”

Game 8 – October 30, 2010 Texas A&M 45, Texas Tech 27 College Station, Texas Kyle Field (84,479 Attendance)

Red Raiders start well but can't keep up with Aggies October 31, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal COLLEGE STATION — For the first time since the first half of September, starting slowly on a Saturday wasn’t a problem for Texas Tech. At issue in the Red Raiders’ worst loss of the season was everything that happened afterward. Tech scored first for the first time since its second game of the season, a win against New Mexico on Sept. 11, but it couldn’t score nearly as often as Texas A&M in a 45-27 loss to the Aggies in front of 84,479 fans at Kyle Field. “I thought we came out a little bit stronger, with a lot more confidence, played pretty good, caused a turnover or two,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “It looked like we had the game under control, but it just flipped on us real quick.” Tech forced a three-and-out and a turnover on downs on the Aggies’ first two offensive series, then took a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run by Eric Stephens. On the second play of the ensuing possession, Cody Davis stripped Texas A&M receiver Brandal Jackson in Aggie territory. The Red Raiders (4-4, 2-4 in Big 12 Conference) were on the verge of going up 14-0 shortly thereafter, but Trent Hunter forced a Stephens fumble into the end zone, where A&M’s Garrick Williams recovered. The Aggies (5-3, 2-2) scored on that possession and their next two, never relinquishing their lead after that point. “Play of the game, there’s no question about it,” A&M coach Mike Sherman said of Stephens’ fumble. “One play can make the difference in a ballgame like that. If they go up 14nothing, we might have to play the game differently.” Down 17-7 after the first two touchdown passes by Ryan Tannehill, who threw for a school-record 449 yards in his first start at quarterback for the Aggies, Tech tried to fight back in the second quarter. Taylor Potts connected with Lyle Leong for a 15-yard TD that put the Red Raiders within three with 5:33 left in the first half, and they got the ball back about four minutes later. But Tech went three-and-out while taking only 37 seconds off the clock, then helped fuel a 60-yard touchdown drive by the Aggies with a pair of personal fouls. Davis was flagged for a big hit on A&M receiver Jeff Fuller, who couldn’t hold on

to a deep ball on second-and-9 from the Tech 33-yard line, and Franklin Mitchem was penalized for a hit on Ryan Swope, who missed a tipped pass in the end zone on third down. On the next play, Fuller caught his second TD pass to give the Aggies a 24-14 lead with nine seconds left in the half. “That kills your momentum and puts a damper on everything,” Davis said. Tech’s troubles continued in the second half. The Red Raiders got the ball first and stormed into Aggie territory on a 54-yard catch and run by Detron Lewis — a College Station native who finished with eight receptions for a season-high 111 yards — and Lewis nearly scored on the next play before fumbling the ball into the end zone. “I hate for that to happen to him,” Tuberville said. “He made a great run to get us down there in the third quarter and then he made a very good catch, just got the ball outside of his body a little bit.” A&M recovered again and dominated the rest of the third quarter, taking a 38-14 lead into the fourth. That’s when Leong caught two touchdown passes from Steven Sheffield, who completed 11 of 14 for 129 yards with an interception in his most extensive action of the season. But the late offensive burst wasn’t nearly enough for the Raiders to avoid dropping to 2-4 in conference play for the first time since 2000, Mike Leach’s first year as head coach. “Both sides, we scratched and clawed,” Tuberville said. “We just made way too many mistakes on both sides to give ourselves a chance.”

Game 9 – November 7, 2010 Texas Tech 24, #14 Missouri 17 Lubbock, Texas Jones AT&T Stadium (55,667 Attendance)

Defense rallies to overcome Tigers November 6, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Texas Tech’s defense has been dogged for most of the season, and it was for the first seven minutes of Saturday night’s Big 12 Conference game against Missouri. The Tigers scored on the game’s third play from scrimmage when Marcus Murphy broke loose for a 69-yard run in which the Red Raiders barely got a hand on him. Two possessions later, Kendial Lawrence wasn’t touched at all on a 71-yard touchdown run. Just like that, the Red Raiders were down 14 points and seemingly on their way to a third consecutive loss at home. But just like that, their defense started playing some of its best football of the season. Tech pitched a shutout after the five-minute mark of the second quarter and held the nation’s 23rd-ranked passing offense to its lowest output of the season by far. The Red Raiders also shut down Mizzou’s running game after the early going, which played a key role in a 24-17 upset of the 14th-ranked Tigers at Jones AT&T Stadium. “I’m real proud of how we played defense after the first couple series,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “It didn’t look very good. They’ve got a wide-open offense and really put us in a bind. They’re all over the field, and we had some mismatches. “I thought our coaches did a good job of moving guys around and putting them on certain players so they could make plays.” Tech’s play against the pass was especially remarkable. The Red Raiders entered the game allowing 317.4 passing yards per game — the second-highest total in the country — and had given up at least 336 yards through the air in each of the last four games. But Mizzou quarterback Blaine Gabbert completed only 12 of 30 passes for 95 yards and no touchdowns. Tight end Michael Egnew from Plainview and receiver T.J. Moe, who were among the top 10 nationally in receptions per game, caught a combined 10 passes for 78 yards. Tech’s young defensive backs, who allowed Texas A&M’s Jeff Fuller to post career highs of 11 catches and 171 yards last week, were credited with six pass breakups. Tech tamed the Tigers’ passing game by dropping seven and eight defenders into coverage for most of the game, but

still managed to slow Mizzou’s running game. After rushing for 243 yards on 22 carries in the first half, the Tigers ran the ball nine times for 17 yards in the second half. “Most people don’t realize how many difficulties we’ve had on defense,” Tuberville said, “but that was about as good as you can play against that type of offense.” The Red Raiders’ defense, which allowed a mere three first downs and 62 yards in the second half, was especially good when it mattered most. Missouri didn’t convert a third down until late in the third quarter and finished one of 12 in such situations, and it was 0 for 2 on fourth downs. One of those fourth-down stops came in the waning minutes, after Mizzou had marched into Tech territory. “We wouldn’t have won the game tonight,” Tuberville said, “had our defense not stepped up.”

Game 10 – November 13, 2010 #16 Oklahoma 45, Texas Tech 7 Norman, Okla. Memorial Stadium (85,116 – Attendance)

First-half breakdowns haunt Red Raiders in Norman November 15, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Neal Brown doesn’t suggest Texas Tech would have beaten Oklahoma had the Red Raiders converted two fourth-down chances in OU territory early in Saturday’s game. But the Texas Tech offensive coordinator would like to have seen how much more competitive the game might have been had the Red Raiders done so. Oklahoma got fourth-down stops at its 42-yard line while leading 17-7, at its 20-yard line while leading 24-7 and went on to roll the Red Raiders 45-7 at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. “I thought we played well enough in the first half to have 14 to 24 points, and it was a downer going into the half with only that seven points,” Brown said Sunday. He took responsibility for the offense’s inability to do much of anything in the second half. “We didn’t make any plays the second half,” he said. “I probably didn’t call a very good game the second half, so I’ll take as much blame as anybody on that.” The loss put Tech at 5-5 with only non-conference home games against Weber State and Houston left in the regular season. The Raiders are nearly certain to get a bowl bid if they finish 7-5 and would have a chance for an invitation at 6-6. Tech last finished the regular season 7-5 in 2006 and 2003, then won bowl games each time. Brown said the Raiders stayed positive on Sunday after “the first time we’ve probably really had it handed to us.” “They understand that 5-5 is not where the coaching staff wants to be, not where the players want to be and certainly not where our fan base wants to be, but that’s where we’re at,” Brown said. “We’ve got three games left, and we need to make sure we do everything we can to send these seniors out on a good note by winning eight games.” Tech didn’t move any closer Saturday, losing its seventh game in a row in Norman. Tech ran 45 plays in the first half for 229 yards, averaged 5 yards per rush, and had a 38-7 deficit to show for it.

The Red Raiders moved right down the field on their first possession with a 35-yard pass play to Austin Zouzalik, a 17-yard run by Eric Stephens and a trick-play touchdown pass from Detron Lewis to Darrin Moore. Oklahoma kept scoring while Tech broke down on the next three series. Brown pinpointed four plays: missed assignments on second and third down that led to a threeand-out second possession and the two failed fourth downs on the next two series. On fourth-and-1 from the OU 42, Tech got receivers Lyle Leong and Detron Lewis one-on-one against cover-two zone coverage, but OU defensive end Ronnell Lewis dropped off the line rather than rushing and batted Taylor Potts’ pass. On fourth-and-1 from the OU 20, Potts got sacked by linemen Jeremy Beal and Pryce Macon, thought Brown indicated it wasn’t Potts’ fault. “We had two missed assignments,” he said. “A running back didn’t block the right guy, and one of the receivers ran the wrong route. The frustrating thing about that is, it would have definitely been a first down and possibly a touchdown if we run the right route. “I thought those two breakdowns hurt us. The score was close enough ... we still stay in the game if we make those.” Tech can count a victory against Weber State, a Football Championship Subdivision team, toward bowl eligibility, if necessary. The Wildcats, Tech’s opponent Saturday, was competitive against Boston College in its season opener, losing 38-20. The Wildcats are led by a colorful coaching veteran, Ron McBride, who was 88-63 with six bowl trips in 13 seasons as head coach at Utah. This is his sixth season at Weber State.

Game 11 – November 20, 2010 Texas Tech 64, Weber State 21 Lubbock, Texas Jones AT&T Stadium (55,083 – Attendance)

Passing game gets vertical against Weber State November 21, 2010 David Just Lubbock Avalanche-Journal The vertical passing game is still relevant at Texas Tech, and coach Tommy Tuberville said he hopes to see more of it in the future. That trend might have started Saturday in a 64-21 victory against Weber State at Jones AT&T Stadium. Entering the game, the Red Raiders averaged 6.3 passing yards per attempt and 9.9 per catch — the lowest since Mike Leach’s first two seasons in Lubbock. Tech looked down the field often Saturday, averaging 13.7 yards per catch and 10.7 per attempt. In the first quarter alone, quarterback Taylor Potts completed 10 passes for 10 yards or more. “That was definitely an emphasis point coming into today,” offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. “We wanted to throw the ball down the field. “The passing stat that is telling is yards per attempt, and our yards per attempt hasn’t been real high this year. It was really high last year at Troy, and as our offensive line matures we’re going to throw the ball downfield more.” Brown’s 2009 Troy team averaged 8.3 yards per attempt and 13.1 yards per catch. During Leach’s 10-year run, the best average per attempt was 8.3 in 2008, and the best per catch was 12.2 in 2003 — the last six years it was a consistent 11 yards and change. This season, short, quick passes have been the norm. Tuberville said the Red Raiders simply haven’t had enough time in the pocket to be consistently successful with their vertical passing. “You want to throw it down the field a lot,” Tuberville said. “But the last couple of weeks we haven’t had that opportunity.” Tech threw for 439 yards Saturday, including 272 from Potts. Steven Sheffield, Seth Doege and Jacob Karam all saw time in the second half. The win followed one of Tech’s worst passing performances in a decade. Potts threw for only 136 yards — his career low as a starter — last week in a 45-7 loss to Oklahoma. The Sooners took the Red Raiders out of their rhythm, and Tech wasn’t able to make the most of its usually up-tempo

offense. So Tuberville said the team was focused on moving the ball even faster Saturday, and he said Tech was mistake-free in terms of getting set at the line of scrimmage. Brown went a step further, saying Tech’s fast-paced offense is the most important thing the Red Raiders do. “We really emphasized it this week,” he said. “We wanted our kids to understand that for us to be good, we have to play fast and at a quick tempo.”

Game 12 – November 27, 2010 Texas Tech 35, Houston 20 Lubbock, Texas Jones AT&T Stadium (53,461 – Attendance)

Opportune time: Defense gives up yards, but not the points November 28, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Houston moves the football better than most teams, and its season finale on Saturday was no exception. The Cougars racked up 589 total yards and 29 first downs, besting their 2010 averages in both categories. They didn’t score nearly as often as usual, though, because an opportunistic Texas Tech defense wouldn’t allow it. The Red Raiders epitomized the bend-but-don’t-break mentality on a chilly November night at Jones AT&T Stadium, making enough timely plays to limit the Cougars to 20 points — about half of their season average and their second-lowest total of the year. The result was a 35-20 victory for Tech, which avenged last year’s loss in Houston and kept the Cougars from becoming bowl eligible. “That’s a lot of yards,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said, “but when you hold them to 20 points and get a couple big turnovers, it really turns the game around.” Tech’s defense, despite allowing both of Houston’s touchdowns on fourth-down plays, had its best game of the season in third-down situations and recorded its first three interceptions of the month. The Red Raiders (7-5) held the Cougars (5-7) to a 1-of-15 showing on third down, and they were especially strong deep in their own territory. With Tech leading 21-10 late in the first half, Houston marched inside the Red Raider 25-yard line on back-to-back possessions but got only three points to show for it. A blitzing Tech defense forced UH quarterback David Piland into a fourth-down incompletion from the 1 on the first possession, then forced the Cougars to settle for a 19-yard field goal by Matt Hogan as the second quarter expired. Tech turned the trick twice more in the second half. The Cougars had a first down at the 25 but had to punt after a holding penalty and a fumbled snap out of the shotgun, and D.J. Johnson picked off a pass near the goal line late in the game. Bront Bird and Cody Davis also intercepted a constantly pressured Piland, a true freshman who has thrown 11 picks in his last four games, and the Red Raiders broke up 11 passes. The defense’s effort made things fairly easy on the Tech offense, which gained 488 yards and 22 first downs. Taylor Potts threw for 373 yards and four touchdowns, and fellow

senior Detron Lewis had his best game of the year with 11 catches for 135 yards and two TDs.

PLAYER FEATURES Lewis' strong day sparks Tech offense

Tech finishes rough regular season on strong note

November 29, 2010 David Just Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

November 28, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Texas Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown noticed a particular trend about the Red Raiders’ success and struggles during the 2010 season.

The 2010 football season didn't turn out the way Texas Tech had hoped or envisioned. But the regular season ended pretty well for the Red Raiders, who can make it even better in about a month.

When wide receiver Detron Lewis is on, the Tech offense follows.

Tech beat Houston 35-20 on Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium to win consecutive games for the just the second time all season, and it will go for a third in a row at a bowl game to be determined.

Lewis had one of the best games of his career Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium, racking up a season-high 135 yards and matching career-highs of 11 receptions and two touchdowns in Tech’s 35-20 victory against Houston. Lewis moved from an inside receiver to the outside position the week of Tech’s game against Colorado in late October, and the switch has paid off. “He’s enjoyed the move,” Brown said. “He’s our most dynamic player, he’s our most explosive player. He struggled at times during the early part of the season, and we moved him outside and, really, when we’ve played well on offense, he’s played well.” Lewis has had at least six catches in five of Tech’s six games since the switch. He had 84 receiving yards against Colorado, 111 against Texas A&M and averaged a touchdown per game during the final month of the season. Quarterback Taylor Potts said the switch has helped create mismatches for the senior receiver, and Lewis said he’s in a better position to beat defenders. “It’s helped me a lot because an outside receiver has more one-onone matchups as opposed to playing inside and having backers and safeties,” Lewis said. “On the outside they can call a play and I’ll be singled up with the cornerback and I’m able to beat them.” Lewis scored both of his touchdowns Saturday during the first half. The first came at the end of Tech’s opening possession. Potts found Lewis wide open on the right side of the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown catch. Potts found Lewis on a fade for a 9-yard touchdown catch to cap Tech’s first possession of the second quarter and stake the Red Raiders to a 21-10 lead. Lewis’s longest catch of the night was a 50yard reception early in the third quarter. His 11 catches moved him into fourth place on Tech’s all-time receptions list with 230. After a season of ups and downs, both personally and as a team, Lewis was certainly pleased to go out on a high note at Jones Stadium. “It feels good to know that I finished strong and that we were able to get the win for the seniors,” Lewis said. “I think that’s going to give us a lot of momentum going into this bowl game.”

And while the Red Raiders aren't thrilled to have gone 7-5, it's the best they could have hoped for after being 5-5 when they concluded Big 12 Conference play. "It wasn't what we expected at all all. We thought we'd have a way better season," said senior receiver Detron Lewis, who had his best game of the year with 11 catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns. "It's been rough, but we pushed through it. We've just got to finish strong." The Raiders did that against Houston, despite being far from perfect. They turned the ball over three times and allowed 585 total yards, but they also forced three turnovers and made key plays offensively and defensively. After the Cougars took a 10-7 lead late in the first quarter, Tech scored 14 consecutive points and never trailed again. And when UH cut its deficit to eight with a methodical drive early in the fourth quarter, the Raiders responded on the next possession with a fiveplay, 92-yard drive that essentially put the game away. Those stretches were microcosms of the Raiders' season, because they've had to bounce back from adversity at almost every turn. "It's been a rough and long year for everybody," said sophomore safety Cody Davis, who had one of Tech's three interceptions. "One thing that's shown is how strong we've pushed and how resilient we are. The team pushed the whole way, and we're proud with how it's ended up." It's not over yet. Tech will play in either the Texas Bowl in Houston, the TicketCity Bowl in Dallas or the Pinstripe Bowl in New York, and it has a month to improve even more.

Tech's Mickey Okafor shows toughness November 27, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram LUBBOCK -- From Neal Brown's perspective, Texas Tech offensive right tackle Mickey Okafor is the ideal offensive lineman for the Red Raiders.

At 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, Okafor is nimble and has the proper mean streak to tangle with the usually agile defensive ends featured in the Big 12. "He's got the body type we're looking for," said Brown, Tech's offensive coordinator. "He's long; he's got long arms; he's a tall guy and he's athletic. But the thing that's probably the most improved part of his game is he's been physical.

Texas Tech’s sophomore quarterback completed 3 of 4 passes for 58 yards on his first drive, which ended with a rushing touchdown by Ben McRoy, and he planned to fire a few more passes when he stepped back on the Jones AT&T Stadium turf midway through the fourth quarter. But Doege handed the ball off to McRoy on the first play, and the speedy freshman promptly bolted to the end zone for a 39-yard score. Just like that, Doege’s day was done.

"I didn't know he had it in him, but he's played nasty. He's been a physical kid, and that's what we're recruiting. We want guys that look like him and move like him. When you can protect the edge in this league, you're going to have a chance." A junior from Houston Westbury, Okafor won the starting job during the preseason, but started the season in street clothes after suffering a concussion in a scrimmage the week before the opener. "It happened on a Saturday morning. He spent Saturday night in the hospital, and it took him awhile to recover," Brown said. "He had to miss some classes for it, so we were real cautious bringing him back. "He went three weeks when he didn't practice a bit....He never put on a helmet." Okafor played half of the Sept. 18 game against Texas, and has been a fixture in the starting lineup since the Sept. 25 game at New Mexico. Okafor will again help protect the right side of Tech's offensive line when the Red Raiders (6-5) play their final regular-season game at 7 tonight against Houston (5-6) at Jones AT&T Stadium. A win by Tech would avenge last year's 29-28 loss at Houston and prevent the Cougars from becoming bowl eligible. "Last year, they got our number down in Houston," Okafor said. "So it means a lot to everybody here to win this game after what happened to us last year. "Also, we really need this game to finish out the season strong. We want to finish strong and with a winning record at home." Following a slow start in the spring, Okafor finished strong in winning the starting offensive right tackle spot. He lost about 30 pounds since last year, got totally focused on his game and then beat out Chris Olson of Dallas Highland Park for the starting job. "He's probably our most improved player since we started practicing in the preseason,'' Brown said of Okafor. "He had to compete for a job, and he didn't have a great spring. "If you look at offensive linemen -- whether it's high school, college or the NFL -- the best ones are always the toughest guys and the most physical guys, and I really think that's why he's progressed. I think the more he said, 'I'm not going to be a soft guy, I'm going to be a tough guy and I'm going to be physical,' is when his game changed."

Reserves get plenty of work, produce points in rout of Weber State November 21, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Seth Doege led two offensive series on Saturday, but he didn’t quite get the playing time he wanted or expected.

“I gave (McRoy) a hard time when I came to the sideline,” Doege said. “I was like, ‘Hey man, you’re cutting into my reps.’” There were plenty of repetitions to go around on Saturday, and Doege wasn’t genuinely disappointed. He had no reason to be after the Red Raiders routed visiting Weber State 64-21 to become bowl eligible for the 18th consecutive season. Tech (6-5) raced out to a 23-0 lead in the first quarter and starting substituting in the second, after which it led 44-0. Starting quarterback Taylor Potts left the field with more than three minutes left in the first half after throwing for three touchdowns and rushing for another, and he was one of several Tech starters who sat out the second half. “We’ve got to credit the first-string guys for taking care of business,” Doege said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be out there.” Doege was one of three backup quarterbacks who played for the Red Raiders, who racked up season highs of 230 rushing yards and 669 total yards. Senior Steven Sheffield threw a touchdown pass late in the first half and played the entire third quarter, leading two field-goal drives, and redshirt freshman Jacob Karam made his first career appearance late in the game. Tech, which had used the same five offensive linemen almost exclusively since facing Texas on Sept. 18, played a backup line of Blake Emert, Jonathan Guerra, Terry McDaniel, David Neill and Chris Olson. None of the offensive reserves shined brighter than McRoy, the 5foot-9, 160-pound running back. The true freshman from Florida had career highs of eight carries and 76 yards and scored his first two collegiate touchdowns. “I was very excited,” McRoy said. “Like coach told me, if I do my job and take advantage of my opportunities, then I’ll get more playing time. Coach will put me out there more and I’ll get to shine more.” Tech’s defense, which pitched a first-half shutout, also used its reserves liberally. And much like McRoy, many of those reserves made the most of their chance. The Red Raiders’ four leading tacklers against Weber State (6-5) had played only sparingly on defense before Saturday. Linebacker Cqulin Hubert led Tech with nine tackles, and fellow true freshman Dartwan Bush had a team-high two tackles for loss from his defensive end position. Sophomore Arlan Waller, a non-scholarship cornerback, matched Bush with five total tackles. Senior Jonathan Brydon, a regular on special teams, played defensive end from the second quarter on and finished with six tackles, including one behind the line of scrimmage. “It was a good time,” Brydon said. “We all got to get in pretty early in the game and play pretty much the majority of it. It was definitely a fun game to get out there and play our hearts out.”

Texas Tech's Jarvis Phillips' path has veered from Crabtree's only slightly

the Big 12 -- and is fifth on the team with 47 tackles. One of those interceptions was returned 87 yards for a touchdown in the loss to Texas on Sept. 18.

Not bad for a player who rushed for 1,544 yards and scored 22 touchdowns, and passed for 1,277 yards and 12 touchdowns during his two seasons as Carter's quarterback.

For a moment, it appeared as though Jarvis Phillips might follow in the footsteps of Michael Crabtree.

"Jarvis has done a good job," Tuberville said. "As the season went on, the injuries started to mount up on him, and he just wasn't able to get healthy all year because he had to play, but he's hung on there.

Like Crabtree, Phillips was a two-year starting quarterback -- with superb athletic abilities -- at Dallas Carter High School. And like Crabtree, Phillips chose to play college football at Texas Tech and redshirt his first season while learning a new position.

"He's really competed well and he's very technique-oriented. I'm sure he's looking forward to having a little downtime here."

The comparisons were inevitable.

Tech's Baron Batch looking for a big finish

But while Crabtree went on to become a two-time Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's top collegiate receiver, Phillips is focused on becoming a cornerback.

November 17, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said the 5-foot-10, 189-pound redshirt freshman has done pretty well considering how much talent the Big 12 boasts at wide receiver.

Texas Tech senior running back Baron Batch knows the season hasn't gone the way the Red Raiders had anticipated.

"We've put him in a bind most of the year playing man coverage a lot," Tuberville said. "I bet he's played man coverage more than half the time he's been on the field, and he's held his own well for a redshirt freshman.

With two games left against non-conference foes Weber State and Houston, the Raiders need one win to become bowl-eligible for the 11th straight season. It's an opportunity Batch doesn't want to pass up.

"He's got to cover the tall receivers and the physical receivers, and guys with a lot of speed. Obviously there's been times when he didn't do as well, but that's going to happen to anybody that plays a lot of man coverage."

"It's my outlook to make a bowl game," Batch said. "So we have to take care of business, and hopefully it will pan out and we get to play an extra game.

Phillips and Texas Tech (5-5) face Weber State (6-4) at 2 p.m. Saturday in a nonconference game.

"I haven't not been to a bowl game since I've been here, and I don't want to start this year and nobody else does either. So this game is big for us, and we need to get this win."

Coming out of Carter, Phillips liked the idea of switching to wide receiver, but the Red Raiders had other ideas.

The Raiders will host Weber State -- a team they've never played --at 2 p.m. Saturday.

"I played a little wide receiver my sophomore year [in high school], and I played in spots in the secondary if they needed me to get out there," Phillips said. "I expected to play wide receiver [at Tech], but it just didn't work out [that way].

Tech is 5-5 this season and completed Big 12 play with a 3-5 record. The Raiders can finish no better than fifth in the six-team Big 12 South.

"But it all worked out for the best." Phillips was a freshman at Carter when Crabtree was a senior there, and the two developed a close bond. "We're pretty good friends, and I always watched Texas Tech play just because of Michael Crabtree," Phillips said. "Somebody compared me to him, but I haven't." Phillips said that Crabtree, now in his second season with the San Francisco 49ers, has called to offer some words of encouragement.

Although the season has been disappointing, coach Tommy Tuberville has challenged his players to step up and finish the year in style. "We still have a lot to play for and we understand where we are," Tuberville said. "We want to be much better two weeks from now than we are today. "We would love to play in a bowl game. It's one of the things as a coach -- you use [the bowl] as a second season. I look at it as a reward, too." Bad idea?

"I haven't talked to him lately, but we keep in touch," Phillips said. "He called me a lot during my redshirt year.

Why is Tech playing non-conference games this late in the season when everyone else in the Big 12 is playing conference games?

"He told me to keep working hard and don't give up." While battling knee and shoulder problems this season, Phillips leads the Red Raiders with four interceptions -- which ties him for second in

Tech originally had conference games against Texas and Baylor scheduled to be played in November. But the Texas game was moved to Sept. 18 so it could be televised nationally by ABC, and the

game against Baylor was moved to Oct. 9 so it could be played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas during the State Fair. Money, of course, played a role in those two moves, and it will be interesting to see the fan reaction for the final two games of the season at Jones AT&T Stadium. "Hopefully, our fans will come out and support the team in the last couple of games and let them know that they appreciate what they have done, even though it hasn't gone as well as we hoped," Tuberville said. "We have two games to go, and we will keep working hard." Tuberville admitted that moving the Texas and Baylor games may have not worked to Tech's advantage. "The thing about this schedule is of 10 games that we have played, six have been on the road," Tuberville said. "You can't get any continuity, especially with a young team [that's] trying to run a new offense and new defense.

"I came down here and I just fell in love with the university and with the players and the city of Lubbock and all the people. It's a place that really fits me and my personality really well." A 6-3, 294-pound senior, Whitlock hopes the Red Raiders' trip to Norman -- where the Sooners have a 35-game home winning streak - won't resemble the last time Tech visited. Two years ago the Red Raiders were ranked No. 2 with a 10-0 record when they played at OU. But the Sooners wrecked Tech's national championship aspirations with a 65-21 rout. "They just played a heck of a game and we didn't," Whitlock said. "Any time you go on the road in the Big 12, it's a hostile environment. "We just have to come out as a team and execute well, stick to our game plan and believe in our game plan, and try to limit our mistakes." Whitlock is one of the mainstays of Tech's 3-4 defense, which has been criticized for not playing well.

"We won't use that [as an excuse and] we don't have any excuses of how we played. Some [games] we played pretty good [and] some we haven't played that well. So, hopefully we finish up on a strong note."

But that much-maligned unit is coming off its best game of the season, a 24-17 win over Missouri. Tech held the Tigers to three first downs, no points and just 62 yards in the second half.

Briefly

"We executed better than we have all season and we were extremely happy," he said. "But then again, we were frustrated a little bit just knowing what this team has been capable of all year and how we didn't perform at that level earlier in the season."

The Raiders can become bowl-eligible with a win over Weber State because every four years an FBS school can count one win against an FCS team toward bowl eligibility. The Raiders have never used this exception before. With potentially three games left, Baron Batch has a chance of reaching the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Batch has rushed for 674 yards on 142 carries. That includes 225 yards on 39 carries during the past two games against Missouri and Oklahoma.

Tech senior faces tough challenge in final homecoming November 12, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram Whenever Colby Whitlock goes home to Noble, Okla., the Texas Tech defensive tackle has to drive by a familiar and historic place. Owen Field in Norman, Okla., sits a short distance up the highway from where Whitlock grew up. It's also the home of the Oklahoma Sooners. "My house is about six or seven minutes away from the stadium," Whitlock said. "It's always been great to be able to go back home and play and see all my family and friends. It's a neat experience." Whitlock and his teammates will face that "neat experience" again Saturday when the Red Raiders (5-4, 3-4 Big 12) play at 19th-ranked Oklahoma (7-2, 3-2) at 2:30 p.m. Despite being a first-team all-state selection, playing in the Oklahoma Coaches Association all-state football game, and making 109 tackles (and forcing 11 fumbles) as a senior, Whitlock wasn't heavily recruited by OU. Yet he harbors no ill will. "They looked at me a little bit, but not much," Whitlock said. "I committed to Tech pretty early.

Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said his defense has leaned heavily on the play of Whitlock, who is sixth on the team with 40 tackles. "He's really played well for us," Tuberville said. "He's a big guy inside. "In a game like Saturday's where you've got to stop the run -Oklahoma is a running team as well as a throwing team -- he'll be big in there."

So-called 'Prince' Neboh makes name with royal showing November 11, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal One of the top NFL draft prospects playing in the Big 12 Conference this season is Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara, who could go in the first round next April. He’s not the league’s only top prospect, of course. He’s not even the league’s only Prince making waves at cornerback. Missouri’s hopes of beating Texas Tech in Lubbock last week died with a pass breakup in the end zone by Texas Tech cornerback Eugene Neboh. To his teammates, he’s “Prince” Neboh. That’s what all the Red Raiders call him ever since older defensive backs Darcel McBath, Anthony Hines and LaRon Moore got clever. “We all made up a little story that he was a prince from Africa, and everybody believes us because he drives a big nice car,” Moore said. “We’ve seen him in, like, three different cars, so we made up a story. It’s stuck with him for three years.”

Neboh, a 5-foot-10, 174-pound sophomore from Odessa Permian, started to make a name for himself outside the Tech locker room the last two Saturdays. With the Red Raiders’ secondary depleted by injuries, he stepped in and made nine tackles at Texas A&M in the first extensive playing time of his career, then played every snap in the Red Raiders’ 24-17 upset of Missouri. Neboh made what Tech coach Tommy Tuberville described as the play of the game, perfectly timing his move to break up a fourth-down pass into the end zone on Missouri’s last offensive play. “I was happy for Prince,” Moore said. “He waited a long time to get his spot, so I just hope they continue to give him a chance. He actually can play when he gets in there.” Tuberville said before the season that Neboh would play, but it took a few players going down in front of him for his role to expand. “That’s what’s fun about this business,” Tuberville said. “Your number’s called, you’ve got to be ready to go, and he has been.” In fact, you might call Neboh the Prince of Patience. He walked on in the fall of 2008 and got in line behind the usual assortment of scholarship players. Before that, he was Tech teammate Bront Bird’s backup during the 2006 season at Permian, when Bird was a senior, Neboh a junior and both played safety. “He took all the playing time,” Neboh said. “It’s just being patient. The year after that, it was mine.” In advancing from walk-on to playing time as a sophomore, Neboh’s ticket is his speed and all-around athletic ability. He said he could have gone to Notre Dame to play soccer, and both the Oklahoma and Tech track programs showed interest in him as a hurdler. A painful hip limited Neboh to three track meets his senior year, and he didn’t make it out of regional. Still, Tech track coach Wes Kittley said Neboh showed potential, running in the low-38-second range in the 300-meter hurdles. Efforts to turn him to track proved fruitless, though. “Boy, he loves football,” Kittley said. “He had a few little track offers, but he stayed determined to play football, worked hard and look where he is. I’m real proud of him. He’s a neat kid.” Neboh said he also was recruited for football by Sam Houston State and Abilene Christian. So those other options occasionally came to mind when he faced a walk-on’s inevitable roadblocks and rough days. “There were times I was second guessing my decision, I guess you could say, just for the fact I could have had school paid for,” Neboh said. “But I just pray on it and thank God for keeping me on the right path.” Meanwhile, Neboh had an identity among teammates before he started getting into games. Neboh does, in fact, have family roots in Africa. His mother, Stella Neboh, originally from Nigeria, was a track standout at Angelo State. But Neboh insists he’s not royalty. “That’s just a team joke,” he said. “There’s no truth behind that.”

Nevertheless, the nickname’s probably here to stay. Last year, during his first few weeks on campus, Tech cornerback D.J. Johnson said he knew Neboh as “Prince” well before he knew his real name. Johnson was a freshman then; he didn’t think to question it. Now he knows better, but it’s too ingrained. “We just continue to call him ‘Prince’ because he’s rich,” Johnson said with a smile. Jokingly, he added, “He has his own money, his picture on it and everything.”

Potts takes high road on and off the field November 6, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech was looking for Steven Sheffield to be its savior Saturday night, starting him at quarterback in place of fellow senior Taylor Potts. In a strange twists of events, Potts turned out to be the savior. After the Red Raiders' first seven possessions - in which they punted five times, fumbled once, kicked a field goal and trailed 17-3 against Missouri - they turned the offense back over to Potts, who started the first eight games. Potts immediately provided a spark, leading the team to three consecutive touchdown drives for the first time since the Baylor game on Oct. 9. That was all the offense needed in a 24-17 victory against 14thranked Mizzou. "It was huge," Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said of Potts, who finished 19-of-28 passing for 188 yards and three TDs. "We needed some momentum, and I tell you, he was on." The leader of Tech's defense, which held Missouri scoreless in the second half, also was praiseful of Potts, who often takes a great degree of heat from Red Raider fans. "Hats off to the guy," middle linebacker Bront Bird said. "Those quarterbacks go through a lot, man. They're basically at the center of the spotlight on a team, whether that's good or bad. "He definitely rose to the occasion, man. His name was called and he came in and did his thing." Potts apparently didn't want to talk about his performance, or having to come off the bench. He didn't take any questions in his postgame interview session, talking soley about the Wounded Warrior Project. Tech wore camouflage jerseys in support of the non-profit foundation, which benefits injured American soldiers. Some of those soldiers spoke to the Red Raiders before Saturday's game. "On Saturdays we're worried about wins and losses, and it kind of puts things in perspective," Potts said. "They're worried about their lives and what happens to their families if they don’t make it back. "It's a huge honor to wear these jerseys and meet these guys and hear their stories. They give so much for us every single day. I don’t think we appreciate them enough."

Well, Taylor, I don't think you're appreciated enough by Texas Tech's football fans. After Saturday, though, perhaps you will be.

Texas Tech senior defends coaches, players November 5, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star Telegram

Baron Batch occupies a special place among Texas Tech fans. When Michael Crabtree, Graham Harrell and Batch led the Red Raiders to new heights in 2008, Batch rushed for a team-high 742 yards on 111 carries. The fifth-year senior running back wears his emotions on his sleeve and is one of the leaders of this football program. An intense competitor, Batch also writes a column every Wednesday for the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, affording Tech fans insight into his thinking. So when asked to gauge the pulse of the city in the wake of the Red Raiders' 4-4 season, Batch was direct. "I'd say I'm just as frustrated as the fans are," he said. "But I also say that the record doesn't reflect the quality of the coaches or the athletes and the program. "We have probably some of the best talent that we've had since I've been at Tech. As far as coaching, the coaches are outstanding coaches." Batch attributes Tech's problems to too many mistakes made during critical junctures. He said the 2008 squad, which finished 11-2, had another gear to turn to during difficult times and knew how to fight through adversity. "You can't turn the football over and keep making the mistakes we've made," Batch said. "If we were playing like this -- turning the football over like we are right now -- in 2008, we'd be 4-4 even though we had Graham and Crabtree.

had a sorry football team and a sorry coaching staff if we didn't go to a bowl game, but that's not the case." Batch leads Tech with 449 yards rushing on 103 carries -- 4.4 yards per attempt -- and is tied for the team lead with four rushing touchdowns. He also has 18 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. The stats, however, are meaningless to Batch. He just wants to win. "I told them that in 2008 when we had that historic team, there were four games that we could have easily lost," Batch said. "But we didn't turn the ball over and we made those plays, and that was the difference." Tech linebacker Brian Duncan said Batch's straightforward attitude has resonated throughout the team in a positive manner. "Baron Batch is a great guy and an amazing guy," Duncan said. "He knows what to do, he knows how to play, he knows how to get focused, and he's really, really into the game. "He's really tough, he's a downhill runner and you will see Batch on the next level." Batch said even though some fans may want to blame the losses on the transition to coach Tommy Tuberville, he doesn't see it that way. "It's not from a lack of effort or a lack of coaching," Batch said. "There's been games we played good football and just came up short. "Even though we're 4-4, no one's quitting on this season and I'm not going to quit on this season. The season's over when the buzzer ticks down on that last game -- whenever that might be."

Graves provides boost for Red Raiders' defensive line November 5, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal For much of the season, Texas Tech coaches searched for a consistent defensive tackle to pair with Colby Whitlock in the middle of the Red Raiders’ defensive line.

"We just got to fix those mistakes and we'll be OK." Batch and the Red Raiders will make another attempt to fix those mistakes 7 p.m. Saturday when they host No. 14 Missouri (7-1) at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Whether Pearlie Graves can stop the revolving door remains to be seen, but he’s made a heck of a first impression. In his first two college games, Graves has 10 tackles with 41/2 coming behind the line and two being sacks.

The Red Raiders have played in 10 consecutive bowl games, and the 5-foot-10, 210-pounder from Midland doesn't want that streak to end on his watch.

“He’s playing well,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said this week. “He’s playing reckless. We hadn’t had that in the defensive line, guys playing reckless. Sometimes they may not be doing the right thing, but they make a play, and that’s what you want on defense.

"The thought of thinking about not going to a bowl game makes me feel physically sick," Batch said. "Even before the season started, all my plans around the holidays revolved around the fact that we're going to be in a bowl game because we have since I've been here.

“I think he’s picked up our level of defensive line play and linebacker play, just by his enthusiasm. He’s been a breath of fresh air. He’s given us somebody that ... Colby doesn’t have to do it all.”

"I just don't want to go out [missing a bowl game] because that would not reflect the team that we have and the coaches that we have, and that's the one thing that drives me crazy. It would be different if we

Largely because of injuries and partly for lack of playmaking, Tech has started eight defensive linemen other than Whitlock and end Brian Duncan, who have been in the lineup every game.

Graves was late arriving on the scene, because he’s been set back by one injury after another throughout his first year-plus on campus. The 6-foot-2, 285-pound redshirt freshman from Tulsa, Okla., East Central has had issues with his back, a knee and his neck that made him a non-factor for lengthy stretches. A sprained knee ligament in spring practice and a neck injury this summer kept him out of the mix. Coaches didn’t get to evaluate him much in August, so older players such as Chris Perry, Myles Wade, Lawrence Rumph and Bobbie Agoucha got first crack at defensive tackle spots. “Dealing with the neck, you’re dealing with a serious injury and I really wanted not to rush that,” Graves said. “That kind of had me nervous. But once I got back and got into the rhythm again, I started moving well. I started hitting guys like I know I can.” Then his gusto for the game took over. “I love college football,” he said. “I love football, period. ... I knew when I got my opportunity, I was going to be ready, because I always stay hungry.” Two weeks ago, when they were getting ready for Colorado, coaches promoted Graves from the scout team. He got credit for two sacks and another tackle for loss in that game, then got in on seven tackles last Saturday at Texas A&M in his first start. “It surprised me how he’s playing,” Tuberville said. “He’s playing a lot more consistent than I thought he’d play. He’s just a freshman. He’s not that big a guy. He gets bounced around pretty good, but he plays hard — good pressure on the quarterback, running after the ball, all those things.” Graves has put on 20 pounds since February 2009, when he signed with Tech over suitors such as Oklahoma, Tennessee and Michigan. Told of Tuberville’s observation that he’s still small for a tackle and gets bounced around, Graves said he wouldn’t want it any other way. Forget moving out to the edge. “I love the inside. I’ve played inside all my life,” he said. “I’m used to it, and I love it. I love when people think they can hit harder than I can. I like that type of stuff.” Whitlock said Graves has always had the ability. It was just matter of him getting healthy. “Pearlie’s done a great job since he came in at Colorado,” Whitlock said. “He’s played really well, played great technique, done everything that coaches have asked him, and he’s made a lot of plays along the way. He got in there and got his chance at Colorado and made the best of it.”

Batch, you see, writes an inspiring weekly column for the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. In the column, Batch tackles more than just the X and O issues about the Red Raider football team. A devout Christian, Batch often gets personal and insightful with his writings. Here's an excerpt from this week's column: "For you to be able to read this column that means that you woke up today and are alive. You can’t complain about being alive, it sure beats the alternative! You’re alive if you’re reading this and that is a blessing. Don’t go through the motions. Tomorrow is far from guaranteed. Enjoy your ride!'' For Batch, he has been enjoying the ride that each one of his columns present. They have offered him ample cause for reflections. "When I first got to Lubbock (in 2006) a lot of stuff went bad for me,'' Batch said. "I got hurt, and for awhile I kind of thought for sure I was in the wrong place. I was thinking about that the other day and then I realized what God’s done for me and how He's put me in the right spots. "At the time I thought I was completely in the wrong place, and I was kind of like: 'What’s going on God? I put in the work and I want the rewards.' But I’ve learned that after five years that things don’t always go as you planned, but it doesn’t always mean that they’re wrong.'' A communications studies major, it was Batch who approached the Avalanche-Journal about writing the column, which he has written weekly since the opening of fall practice. And according to Batch, he has a huge following in some unexpected places. "The really cool thing about the column is I get a lot of feedback from Aggies and Longhorns and Sooner fans, and from players from other schools,'' the 5-10, 210-pound senior from Midland said. "They come to me after the game and say, ‘Man, I read your column and it helped me out this week.’ "When it comes down to it, for me that’s what it's about. Football is fun and I love to it. But to be able to write something and impact somebody and possibly change their life is such a privilege and such a great opportunity for me that I can’t ever pass that up.'' Of course, everything isn't always rosy every time Batch sits down with his laptop and writes his column. Trying to string thoughts, verbs, adjectives and complete sentences together are challenging after a Tech loss. Batch, meanwhile, has discovered that writer's block is very, very real. "I definitely understand it,'' he said. "If I don’t take notes and get myself together it’s always tough to throw the column together.

Tech RB Baron Batch writes inspiring columns

"There have been nights that I’ve been up late writing and editing, and back-spacing and deleting stuff. But it’s fun and I really enjoy doing it. It’s really cool to see when you do have the finished product and knowing that it's going to be in the paper.''

November 3, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Batch is deep-rooted in prayer, and sometimes his columns are humorous. Here's what he wrote after Tech's 24-14 loss to Texas on Sept. 18:

Texas Tech running back Baron Batch is receiving a lot of support -from people with close ties to the Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies and Oklahoma Sooners.

"Week three is down and we are sitting at 2-1 after a loss to UT. All week I was praying that I would have a long game-changing run. Turns out I did. I had the longest run of my career Saturday night. A sprint of about 70 yards; unfortunately, it was chasing down a UT player from behind.

Who knew?

"Indeed, God has a sense of humor, and after I thought about the irony of the situation I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself. So what’s the moral of the story? The moral of the story is to pray very specific prayers!'' Batch, who describes himself as "the king of networking,'' is hopeful that he can continue touching other people in a positive light with his columns. "That really does a lot to me when people say, ‘I hate Tech, but I’m rooting for you because I appreciate the way you carry yourself off the field,’ '' Batch said. "That means a lot to me. Probably more than those people know.''

Texas Tech senior linebacker says season at a crossroads today October 22, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram This hasn't been Texas Tech linebacker Bront Bird's easiest season. Bird, a 6-foot-4, 248-pound senior, is not accustomed to losing. The product of tradition-rich Odessa Permian, Bird has played on three Tech teams that went 9-4, 11-2 and 9-4, and advanced to the Gator, Cotton and Alamo bowls, respectively. "I hate losing," Bird said. "Whatever it is that keeps causing us to lose this year, we've got to fix it. "This is a time that it can either go for the worst for us, or we can win every game from here on. It's a decision everyone has to make as a group and individually on how they want to be perceived after this year -- and especially for me, because my senior season ends." Tech defensive coordinator James Willis said Bird is the player who makes his 3-4 defense tick, and he'll be counting on him again today at 2:30 p.m. when the Red Raiders (3-3, 1-3 Big 12) play Colorado (3-3, 0-2) at Folsom Field. "He is that guy on the field for us who gets everybody lined up," Willis said. "He has great energy and great personality, and he's the one you want to be around and he's the one you want to have on the field, especially when it's time to make a play. "I'm very fond of him. I know his background, I know what kind of program he came from, and he really exemplifies that program.' Last Sunday, Bird was one of the Tech seniors who told the underclassmen in a team meeting about the importance of keeping the Red Raiders' 10-year bowl streak intact. Tech has lost three of their past four games. "I've never not been to a bowl game, but right now we're a long way from becoming bowl-eligible, and that's something that all the seniors got up and talked about," Bird said. "That's a big thing to us. "We don't want to be done with football in November, because the bowl games are a fun time. It's fun for the team, and to be able to play one last game together, that's something that we really pounded in everybody's head ... that it's imperative that we start winning, because we don't want the season to be over in November." Last week in a 34-17 loss to Oklahoma State, Bird had a career-hightying 14 tackles and an interception.

"I had a lot of tackles," Bird said, "but at the end of the day, we didn't win." The fact that Bird made so many tackles means there were some defensive breakdowns. "I hate he had to make that many tackles," Willis said. "I'm sure, although he had 14 tackles, I'm sure he didn't play the kind of game that he would want to play. "He made a few big plays and I'm sure he would have liked to have made some more." Bird leads Tech in tackles with 52, including 39 solo. But Willis is impressed with more than just Bird's ability to stop players. "I think just his passion for the game is what makes him special," Willis said. "He really wants to be good, he spends more time in the film room, he spends more time technique-wise, he understands defense. "That's what makes him a valuable player because he really understands what's going on." Bird also understands that Tech needs to be better, and he says that will happen starting today. "Each individual has to have their mind right for the game," Bird said. "And you have to be 100 percent focused in on what you have to do, because it is a team effort. "But this game is a group of individual battles, and you have to win your individual battle in order for the team to succeed. In the meetings we were just talking about it's not about what happens to you in life, it's how you respond."

Tech notes: Brown says Potts played best career game October 3, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts had season highs across the board in Saturday’s loss to Iowa State, hitting 42 of 62 passes for 377 yards and five touchdowns. “That was probably the best game he’s ever played here,” offensive coordinator Neal Brown said Sunday. “He played really well. The thing I was really pleased with him is he had some negative things happen to him early. In the past, he’s had a hard time overcoming adversity, but he stayed super, super positive, didn’t let the drops wear on him. He overcame it and was able to make some big-time plays as the game wore on.” Workhorses up front Tech didn’t make a substitution in the offensive line Saturday. The starters — Justin Keown at center, Lonnie Edwards and Deveric Gallington at guard and Mickey Okafor and LaAdrian Waddle at tackle — played all 87 snaps. Offensive coordinator Neal Brown said he was pleased with the results.

“Deveric Gallington played really, really well,” Brown said. “He played physical. Those guys played with a lot better technique. I was pleased with that group. If we can get that same consistent effort, then we’re going to be all right.” Chris Olson, the starter at right tackle the first two games, gave way to Mickey Okafor for the duration Saturday after they shared time against Texas. Okafor was set back by a concussion he suffered in preseason workouts. “Mickey played well,” Brown said. “The bye week (after Texas) helped him. He was able to get his stamina up, so he was able to play all those snaps.” Where they stand Tech defensive end Brian Duncan ranks second in the nation in sacks after recording his sixth of the season in Saturday’s game. Marshall defensive lineman Vinny Curry leads with eight. Tech wide receiver Lyle Leong is tied for the national lead in touchdown catches after getting his seventh, eighth and ninth on Saturday. Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon and Hawaii’s Kealoha Pilares also have nine. Tech cornerback Jarvis Phillips remains tied for the national lead in interceptions with four after getting shut out in that category Saturday for the first time this season. Virginia Tech’s Jayron Hosley, Oregon’s Cliff Harris, Alabama’s Robert Lester and Nevada-Las Vegas’ Will Chester also have four apiece.

Tech rallied from a 24-0 deficit to tie the score at 24 going into the fourth quarter. The momentum went to waste when the Cyclones erupted for a 28-point fourth period. “It all reverts back to one thing: people not doing the right thing as far as the right hand placement, the right gap control, the right pad level, the right technique, the right fundamentals,” Willis said. “Those things always come back to haunt you. Sometimes you may get away with it by making a play here or there, but those things always catch up with you.” Iowa State got 103 rushing yards from Alexander Robinson and 102 from Shontrelle Johnson. Each’s stat line showed a dozen carries, a touchdown and a back-breaking long run. Robinson broke a 65yarder in the second quarter to set up the score that made it 24-0. Johnson zoomed 61 yards to make it 38-24 with 10 minutes left in the game. Willis faulted himself for those plays. “We didn’t have a second-level player (on one long run), because it was actually a safety blitz also,” he said. “It was one of those deals where I was wrong as far as expecting a pass at that time, really trying to get after them and get us a play for a loss. So I put them in a bad spot there. There was one time we just didn’t get in the right gap. “But that’s coaching. That’s something I’ve got to get better on as far as teaching these kids what to do and when to do it and how to do it.” It was the worst showing by a Tech defense since last October, when Texas A&M won 52-30 in Lubbock with 559 yards total offense and 321 on the ground.

Willis: Defense just didn’t do job Willis said effort wasn’t a conributing factor in the letdown. October 3, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal James Willis had a rough night Saturday, one that didn’t end once Texas Tech’s team plane touched down after a long flight back from Iowa. The Red Raiders’ defensive coordinator kept going over all the breakdowns his side was responsible for in a 52-38 loss at Iowa State. “It was hard to sleep last night; it really was,” Willis said after Sunday’s workout at Jones AT&T Stadium. “I can name a couple of plays, for instance, I know for a fact that I put them in a bad spot. It’s one of those things you wish you could take back, but you’ve got to learn from it.” Tech allowed two 100-yard rushers, a total of 251 rushing yards and big plays galore. Iowa State gashed the Raiders with two runs longer than 60 yards, and quarterback Austen Arnaud threw four touchdown passes, including ones of 36 and 27 yards. Two considerations made it worse: Iowa State came in averaging 20.2 points per game and ranking 106th in total offense. And Tech’s defense had made a bevy of big plays the game before in a 24-14 loss to Texas. That being the case, Willis was asked if, after the Texas game, he was hopeful his defense was beyond the possibility of games like Saturday’s. “Very hopeful of that,” he said. “You always want to get better and build week upon week, but this past week was a definite setback for us. Now I guess we’ll find out what our team is really made of.”

“Effort’s there,” he said. “That’s one thing about this team. We found out early when we got here, there’s no quit in this team, not at all. The effort is something we don’t have a problem with. We’ve just got to make sure we’re doing the right things all the time.” As bad as it was for the defense, Tech’s offense showed a spark, scoring five touchdowns and a field goal in an eight-series stretch from late in the second quarter to late in the fourth. However, with the score tied at 24 late in the third quarter, inside receiver Detron Lewis lost a fumble at his own 39-yard line, positioning Iowa State for the go-ahead score. The Red Raiders finished with 508 yards. “We found something,” offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. “We played pretty good. In the last 32 minutes and 53 seconds, we had 450 yards and 38 points. We’re talking about a little over half a game. That’s pretty good. “I think that’s what we’re going to tell our kids, because there wasn’t a whole lot of negative once we got rolling, other than that fumble we had.”

Tech senior LaRon Moore takes on mentor's role September 30, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

LaRon Moore already earned his college degree in business administration. That’ll provide fallback options in case his first choice, which is a future in football, doesn’t pan out.

Willis said he wasn’t expecting to have Moore available until November, so he’s been reluctant to hurry him back into the mix even though Moore could have played the last two games.

Texas Tech’s senior cornerback would love to coach someday, and he spent the past few months getting an unexpected internship of sorts. Though sidelined since April with a broken right tibia, he remained a visible presence at Tech practices, mentoring younger teammates and earning the nickname “Coach Moore.”

Soon enough, he’ll see some reward for persevering through the spring and summer.

“I always want to coach,” Moore said this week. “That’s my dream job is to go and coach at this level, maybe the next level and go back and be a head coach somewhere. It was good to see the other side of football. It made me a better player, I feel.” Moore the player could make his season debut Saturday when Tech visits Iowa State. But ever since he got hurt in the April 17 spring game, he made a favorable impression on Tech coaches who have yet to see him play a game in person. Defensive coordinator James Willis said he was impressed by the patience and maturity Moore displayed during his down time. “He rehabbed each day,” Willis said. “He came in and still watched film. He was at every practice, watching, learning everything. He was involved in the coaching of it, talking to the other corners and secondary guys, getting them lined up and talking through plays. So he’s been in it mentally the entire time.” Moore’s a fifth-year senior who garnered honorable mention all-Big 12 Conference last season, when he made 42 tackles, four tackles behind the line, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. All the assistants on Tech’s defensive staff are new to the league. That being the case, Moore got a peek behind the coaching curtain. In turn, the defensive staff was able to use him as a resource. “They would talk to me about certain things that you normally wouldn’t talk to a player about,” Moore said. “It wasn’t anything too specific or too deep. But they let me on the inside of what they wanted to do, and since a lot of the coaches haven’t played in the Big 12, they come to me for a little advice, especially last week about Texas, seeing what things they liked to do.” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said adding Moore back into the mix can make a lot of difference. He’s experienced, and he spent spring workouts training to play multiple positions in the secondary.

“It’s been kind of hard,” Moore said, “but a lot of prayer and keeping my mind focused helped me go through it — and just being out here every day. I think if I wasn’t here playing football, being with the team and traveling that it would have been a lot harder. But being here, the coaches uplifting me, working hard and still running and trying to cut every day has helped me go through it.”

Junior linebacker Sonier proves versatile September 29, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said this week that he wasn’t sure last spring where Tyrone Sonier would fit in on the Red Raiders’ defense. In the first month of the season, Sonier has provided an answer: Everywhere. Or, as Sonier put it more than once Tuesday, “all over the place.” The 6-foot-2, 245-pound junior from Sugar Land Marshall has gotten game time at every one of the Red Raiders’ four linebacker positions — mostly in the middle and on the weak side, but also on the strong side and at the buck linebacker, a standup spot normally stationed on or near the line of scrimmage. “Anytime you get a guy who can do that much and still be successful and play at the same tempo, that’s always good for us,” defensive coordinator James Willis said. “I’m so happy with his improvement, because at one time he doubted himself. I think right now he’s playing with more confidence, playing with more discipline and understanding what we’re doing on defense.” Sonier has 13 tackles, sixth most on the team, as well as a sack, a quarterback pressure and a forced fumble. He’s become a top option at, ostensibly, every linebacker position, which says something about how far he’s come. The last two years, he found playing time hard to come by at any spot.

Through three games, the Red Raiders rank 100th in the nation in pass defense, but the secondary hasn’t seemed like a weakness. Only four teams in the country have more interceptions than Tech’s eight. Redshirt freshman Jarvis Phillips leads the nation individually with four interceptions, and Willis said after two games that sophomore safety Cody Davis was the best defensive player on the field.

Sonier said he thought he could have helped, but he has no beef with his past coaches. After all, Bront Bird, Brian Duncan and Marlon Williams were established, multi-year starters at linebacker. There wasn’t much room then.

Now Moore will see what he can add.

This season, Sonier’s taking advantage of newfound opportunity.

“I’ve got nine games left to go,” he said, “and I believe I can make a good showing in nine games, especially in this defense. You see how many plays have been made by the younger guys. I think it’s just going to get even better when you get more experience in there and when they get more experience.”

“It’s fun,” he said. “I love this game, and I believe everything happens for a reason. These past two years really made me hungry and made me realize the kind of sacrifice I had to do. I realize it’s mostly not about me. It’s about this team at the end of the day.”

If Moore plays this week, he’ll return a little more than five months since his injury. He said his recovery period initially was projected to be six or seven months.

Tuberville calls Sonier “a pleasant surprise” and “a breath of fresh air.” He says the Raiders’ multi-purpose linebacker is one of the team’s best tacklers and a smart player who gives teammates confidence that he can get them in the right spots.

“I’d say probably his tackling,” is his forte, Tuberville said. “He’s a good tackler. Everybody has their limitations, but I think the biggest thing he does for us is he can play so many different places and not worry about a dropoff mentally or physically.” Sonier was credited with a career-high seven tackles in the Red Raiders’ last game, a 24-14 loss against Texas. He said that was probably his best game, not because of the statistics, but because he’s gained a better understanding of his responsibilities and that translated into him playing with better awareness. Sonier said he can see a benefit to not being settled into one position. “It’s good for me because not only do I know what I have to do, but I know what everybody’s doing on the defense and where the holes are, where the weakness may be and if anything happens, then I can react back to that,” he said. “So it helps me out a lot, the fact that I’ve been moved around quite a bit.” Sometimes Sonier goes into a game based on the package called. Other times, he’s at the ready if one of the starters needs a quick breather. Still other times, Willis can put him in the game to use his edge rushing or coverage skills. “I think I’ve become pretty well-rounded,” he said. “The most important thing is knowing what you’re doing. You can’t play fast unless you know what you’re doing.” Maybe that’s the difference between Sonier’s role this year and his limited time the last two. Willis said he did his homework on Tech players before he left Alabama’s staff to become the Tech defensive coordinator. The report on Sonier? “He was a guy the strength staff told me was a very good player; he can run, he can hit, but he just hasn’t reached his potential,’” Willis said. “For whatever reason that was, I don’t know. But I think he’s done a very good job of overcoming that and playing within himself.”

Raiders think Douglas has future as two-way player September 21, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville has said for months he needs 10 to 12 defensive backs — to be two-deep, in other words, at all four starting spots plus the nickel and dime positions. On Saturday, that led to a rarity for the Red Raiders: Sophomore Cornelius Douglas became a two-way player, appearing on both offense and defense in the same game. “No. 1, he’s offense,” Tuberville said Tuesday, “but the other thing is, what we put him at is a pretty simple position on defense. It’s not rocket science. He’ll play a couple of coverages, but he’s a very good athlete, so he has no problem going both ways. He’s got a lot of instincts.” Douglas, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound inside receiver, caught his fourth and fifth passes of the season in the 24-14 loss to Texas. In the second half, when the game was still on the line, he played a few snaps as a sub-package defensive back, lining up on slot receivers.

That’s likely to be more than a one-time thing. Tuberville said Douglas has worked 10 to 15 minutes a day on defense since preseason practice, partly because season-ending injuries to safeties Jared Flannel and Desmond Martin and cornerback LaRon Moore’s being out for the first month created a need. “We’re going to need his help,” Tuberville said. “We’re not looking for many plays out of him. … He’s getting better and better at it. I think it’s a good move for him, too. It gives him a chance to get on the field, because he doesn’t play but about 20 plays (a game) on offense.” Douglas was his team’s starting quarterback his last two years at Lawton, Okla., High School and never saw any significant varsity action at receiver. More colleges projected him as a defensive back than anything else. Tulsa, Kansas State, Colorado State and Iowa State all recruited him to play in the secondary. SMU recruited him as a quarterback, Wyoming as a running back. “(Tech) is the only school that recruited me as a receiver,” Douglas said. “That’s why I like playing receiver. If I had wanted to play cornerback, I would have went to other schools that offered me for corner and stuff like that. Overall, I like playing the position, but I like offense, too, so I get a mix of both.” Douglas already had gotten some positive attention for his work on special teams in the first two games, when he made two tackles that way. So that got him ready to knock heads with some offensive players. “Special teams, you’ve got to be physical, and I think defense is really, really physical,” he said. “You have to go down, shed blocks, make tackles (covering kicks). It does prepare you for it.”

Texas Tech finds its 'Playmaker' in wide receiver Lyle Leong September 9, 2010 Dwain Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram

LUBBOCK -- Long before becoming the coach at Texas Tech, Tommy Tuberville recalls being an assistant on a University of Miami squad that included a brash, trash-talking wide receiver named Michael Irvin. Fast-forward to today, and Tuberville can't help but insist that Red Raiders receiver Lyle Leong reminds him of the Dallas Cowboys' Hall of Famer. At least when it comes to his play on the field and obsessive work habits. "Lyle's got a lot of tenacity, he loves to fight for the ball, and the one thing that he does as a receiver is he uses his body well," Tuberville said. "He can turn into the defender and use his body and go up for the ball. "I told him one day, I said, 'You're as close to a guy that I've ever seen that worked as much as Michael Irvin did.' Michael Irvin was the first guy on the practice field and the last guy to leave, and Lyle's a lot like that." That hard work paid major dividends during Sunday's 35-27 victory over SMU as Leong set career highs with 11 catches for 142 yards. He also tied a career high with three touchdowns. Tuberville said Leong catches between 200-300 footballs a day in practice, which is partly why the 6-foot-1, 175-pound senior was able

to pull down two touchdowns on fade routes in the left corner of the end zone.

learning, got to get more experience under our belts, but we’re coming along.”

"He's very well hand-eye coordinated in catching the ball over his head and over his shoulders," Tuberville said. "He also caught a couple of crucial passes down the stretch on corner routes.

Porter and redshirt freshman Jarvis Phillips made interceptions in their first college games and sophomore cornerback D.J. Johnson picked off another pass. SMU quarterback Kyle Padron was coming off a hot second half of last season in which he went 5-1 as a starter. Facing Tech, Padron’s 218 passing yards were his fewest in seven career starts, and the three interceptions he threw were a career high.

"He's a big target that's not a big target because he's not one of those 6-3 or 6-4 guys. But he plays bigger than what he is." Leong credits the bond he has with senior quarterback Taylor Potts for his breakout performance. Potts and Leong were teammates on the Johnson Elementary School intramural football team in Abilene, and again on the Abilene High School junior varsity and varsity squads.

“I attribute a lot to the pass rush,” said Phillips, a 5-foot-10, 189pound Dallas Carter product. “It’s hard to cover a receiver for a long period of time without a good pass rush, so the rush definitely was a big influence on the quarterback’s (throws) and his decisions.”

"It's like a comfort zone that we have," Leong said. "He knows where I'm going to be, I know where he's going to put it and how he's going to throw it.

Defending SMU gave Tech coaches reason to hold their breath. Aside from Padron’s credentials, Willis said last week he expected to see a lot of vertical routes, but the Raiders didn’t give up anything longer than 26 yards.

"I know I can trust him, he knows he can trust me, so it makes it a lot of fun. It's been a blessing." Although Potts knows he can always count on Leong, he doesn't take their long-standing relationship on the field for granted. "Like I said, he's a great receiver," Potts said. "He's great with his hands. "He doesn't drop many. It just seems to work, so why change something that works so well?" Leong hopes not much changes when Tech plays at New Mexico at 7 p.m. Saturday. But with the return of wide receivers Alex Torres (back) and Austin Zouzalik (appendectomy), he may not see as many passes. "He's a guy that now he'll have a target on him," Tuberville said. "But now with the other two wide receivers back, I think it'll take the pressure off of him, but I expect Lyle to have a great year. "His efforts in two-a-days really showed up in the first game, and Taylor's got confidence in him. And like any passing game, your quarterback knows who works in practice and they're going to throw to the guys that they feel like can get the job done just from practice situations."

Raiders’ young defensive backs pass their first test September 8, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal With six freshmen and sophomores in the defensive backfield twodeep, Texas Tech defensive coordinator James Willis acknowledged the secondary to be one of the big question marks on defense. All those kids passed their first test. The Red Raiders held their own against SMU’s run-and-shoot passing attack, getting a handful of key plays from the young DBs in a 35-27 victory Sunday. “We are young, as he said, but I think we reacted well,” freshman cornerback Tre Porter said Tuesday. “We’ve still got to do a lot more

Starting cornerback Will Ford was limited by a hamstring injury for most of preseason practice, and Phillips spent most of preseason workouts being withheld from contact to protect an injured shoulder. Not exactly a perfect scenario to gear up to face a June Jonescoached offense. The blue jersey Phillips wore in August meant he was off-limits to contact. As a matter of fact, at Tuesday’s workout, Phillips was back in the blue jersey, which makes him scoff. “It’s the trainers messing with me,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with me. “I didn’t have a blue jersey on in the game,” Phillips added, “so I was just fine. No problems.” That’s how it looked. Phillips’ interception near the end of the first quarter set up Tech’s second touchdown, which made the score 14-0. Later in the quarter, Porter’s pickoff and 13-yard return positioned Tech at the SMU 39-yard line, though the offense failed to cash in. Johnson’s interception set up a Tech touchdown that made it 35-14, after which the Mustangs mounted a comeback. Not everything went right. Porter acknowledged he messed up a coverage that allowed SMU receiver Cole Beasley to be wide open for a 19-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Porter, a 6-foot, 190pound freshman from Midwest City, Okla., Carl Albert, said he thought wrongly that he had help over the top on the play. “That’s where experience comes in,” he said. “I was a little bit inexperienced. I was looking at the wrong keys. I learned from that mistake, though, and I shouldn’t make it again. Hopefully, I won’t.” Both Phillips and Porter were playing as extra defensive backs in sub packages. “Both of them have a good nose for the football,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “Obviously, for Porter’s first time out, he did well. We made some mistakes, but we’ll get better as we go.” Tuberville said players such as Phillips and Porter will need to get some of their snaps at cornerback as the season goes along. Ford and Johnson played corner the whole way, 65 defensive snaps, against SMU, because coaches were reluctant to pull their best corners against a good passing offense.

“They can handle around 60 plays,” Tuberville said, “but anything after that, we’re going to have to start resting them a little bit, because they play special teams.”

Tuberville said he wants to get McRoy into games and get the ball into his hands. How so?

Phillips spent all spring and the early part of preseason practice lining up at cornerback. After he and Ford were slowed by injury, coaches flipflopped Johnson from nickel back to first-string corner with Phillips going the other way.

“Like a sweep, swings, screens, those type of plays,” McRoy said. “Speed plays.”

It could stay that way, because Tuberville likes what he sees from Johnson on the outside. The switch means Phillips must adjust his style of play.

What McRoy won’t be is a gimmick. There won’t be a special package of a few plays per game for McRoy out of the offensive set. Not right now anyway.

“You definitely have to be more physical,” Phillips said, “because you’re in there close to the linemen and you’re part of the run game. The biggest adjustment is being more physical. I’m adapting pretty well.”

Tuberville said it’s not a bad idea, but he prefers to do that only with veteran players.

Defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson gave his pupils the impression Sunday was a reasonably good starting point. “We made a couple of mistakes, but overall they were pretty happy,” Phillips said. “We didn’t back down. We didn’t give up, even if the game was kind of iffy. We stood and fought to the last down, so he was pretty happy.”

McRoy’s not quite there yet. “We want him to learn the offense from the running back position,” Tuberville said. “We don’t want him to think he’s just a guy that’s going to play three or four plays a game.” Tuberville said Tech has “two running backs you feel good about,” referring to the 1-2 of Batch and Stephens and “a couple of guys that have been here” in junior Aaron Crawford and sophomore Harrison Jeffers.

Speedy McRoy expected to be impact player for Red Raiders offense August 25, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech freshman Ben McRoy got the word Monday: Forget the redshirt. He’s expected to help the Red Raiders this year. To which the lightning quick running back from Lakeland, Fla., added his own note of caution. “I was real excited, but I know I’ve got to keep it up,” he said. “I can’t just hear that news and then start dropping in effort. I’ve got to keep improving and learning. ... I’m sure if I start going downhill, they’ll change their mind.” McRoy, at 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds, holds a couple of distinctions: He’s the most lightweight player listed on the roster, and he might also be the fastest. McRoy’s lifetime best 200-meter time of 20.93 seconds, which won him the Florida state track meet title in May, ranked second in the nation last spring among chartable times. (Four high school sprinters ran faster times, but in conditions outside the allowable wind speed of 2.0 meters per second.) Tech coaches are thinking long and hard about how to deploy McRoy. “Man, he’s fast,” senior running back Baron Batch said. “I think he’ll help us out a lot on special teams. He’ll help us on some special plays, just getting him the ball in space and letting him use his speed, because that kid can fly.” On Tuesday, Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said McRoy is in the Red Raiders’ top three for kickoff returns. The group consists of him, sophomore Eric Stephens, who set a school record with 823 kickoff return yards last season, and senior Detron Lewis.

“You’re talking about guys that can also run that you’d be taking the ball out of their hands,” he said. “But Ben’s going to be a good running back for us. He’s getting better. He’s fearless. I just want him to learn the entire offense.” McRoy played primarily cornerback his junior year in high school, then moved to running back — the position he’s played most in organized football — last year. He carried 99 times for 872 yards on a state semifinal team that finished 13-1. For the most part, the players chasing McRoy then aren’t as massive as the ones that will be doing so from now on. “I haven’t really got hit hard yet, but I’m sure they’re going to be a lot different than high school,” he said. “I’ll have to get more physical, tougher, and put on more weight so I can handle these big guys coming, because I know it’s not going to be easy.”

Potts deserves benefit of doubt from Red Raider fans August 23, 2010 Adam Zuvanich Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Texas Tech fans seem up in arms about which arm will throw the football this fall. New head coach Tommy Tuberville named Taylor Potts, and not fellow senior Steven Sheffield, as the starting quarterback for the Red Raiders’ season opener against SMU on Sept. 5. And many among the Tech faithful don’t like it. As of 5 p.m. Monday, there were more than 50 comments attached to Don Williams’ story about Tuberville’s decision on RedRaiders.com and LubbockOnline.com. Close to half of those comments were either

critical of Potts and the decision or praiseful of Sheffield, and some were downright doom and gloom. “The season is over before it even began. Might as well think about next year,” one fan, using the online handle “therealarod,” wrote. “We will probably be 0-3 before September is out.” Another fan, using the name “woe is upon us,” said, “This season is officially down the toilet. … Anyone who watched the games last year knows who the better quarterback is, and the eye-ball test can be backed up by the stats.” Well, I’m here to tell those fans to take a deep breath and settle down. I’d also like to remind them that last year was last year. True, Tech’s offense seemed to have an extra spring in its step with Sheffield taking the snaps. He engineered what was arguably the Red Raiders’ most impressive stretch of the 2009 season — consecutive wins against New Mexico, Kansas State and then-No. 15 Nebraska — and finished off their come-from-behind win against Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl. Sheffield also had the better completion percentage, passer rating and touchdown-to-interception ratio. But Potts had his moments, too. He saved the day against Kansas, whipped Oklahoma and gave Tech a puncher’s chance in back-toback road games against nationally ranked Texas and Houston. He also threw for 3,440 yards and 22 touchdowns while completing more than 65 percent of his passes, which isn’t too shabby. But, like I said, last year was last year. Tuberville and offensive coordinator Neal Brown brought fresh sets of eyes to Lubbock, and Potts has apparently looked more appealing. Potts, who was a prized recruit while Sheffield started his Tech career as a walk-on, also has the better upside. He’s 6-foot-5, 222 pounds and has a rocket for a right arm, and he’s likely to be an NFL draft pick. The 6-4, 197-pound Sheffield, although he’s proven he can be successful at the college level, is not nearly as much of a pro prospect. At any rate, Tech fans should trust the new coaches’ judgement and show some faith in their choice. Potts played poorly at times last season and looked uncomfortable at others, but perhaps he’s learned from those mistakes and is ready to realize his potential.

He might have had more reason to be grateful than other players in a similar situation, considering how challenging his spring had been. If someone needed something good to happen, it was Keown, who had to rededicate himself to school and cope with his 20-month marriage ending in divorce. “In the spring, I went through some things on and off the field,” he said. “I had some challenges with school and bounced back. I did really well in the summer grades-wise. I came back in camp right now, and I’m just playing really hard and focused.” The 6-foot-4, 300-pound junior from Anderson, S.C., showed up this summer with a new appearance — a short, neat haircut — to go with his fresh outlook. “I had some relationship problems,” he said. “A lot of people know I was married and went through that deal, and I had to go for a new look was the big reason.” Keown shared the center spot last season with Shawn Byrnes, but Tech line coach Matt Moore didn’t just hand over the job to Keown when Byrnes’ eligibility ran out. Keown competed through spring and summer with senior Chris Olson before the staff decided last week that Keown was taking control and Olson might be able to address a need at right tackle. Last year, Olson started the first three games and the last four at left tackle. Keown said he can now relax and work on the areas he needs to improve. He said pass protection has always come easily to him. Getting better at run blocking, recognizing defensive fronts and calling protections are the priorities. At least Keown isn’t going into the job cold. In the middle of last season, he started the Kansas State and Texas A&M games and played all but the first series at Nebraska. “From that season coming in now has helped tremendously,” Keown said, “because I’m not going in — I don’t know what the word is — blindsided, I guess, from seeing the physicalness of the different starters from other teams. I’ve been up against a No. 1 draft pick, (Nebraska’s Ndamukong) Suh. That kind of helps a lot.” A lot is riding on Keown’s performance since the team lost three starting offensive linemen from last year. On Monday, head coach Tommy Tuberville said he can’t abide seeing his quarterbacks get hit play after play, let alone be sacked 31 times like last year.

And maybe the lows he experienced last year — namely the concussion he suffered against New Mexico and being booed inside Jones AT&T Stadium — have served as motivation for his senior season. Potts could very well be Tech’s most-improved player in 2010.

“These guys are taking pride in (protecting the passer),” Tuberville said. “We challenged them. They made a commitment to get better from last year. I think it starts with the center. He’s having a good camp, as they all are.”

If he’s not, and he continues to be interception-prone and the Raiders start the season sluggishly, Tech fans still shouldn’t be too concerned. Because unlike most other college teams, Tech knows it has a backup who’s more than capable.

Keown’s chance to play full-time midway through last season coincided with an ankle injury Byrnes was battling. Though Keown took advantage of it and played well, he had to prove to coaches that they could count on him being there this season.

Keown's emergence for Red Raiders comes on heels of challenging spring

That’s why it mattered that he made a composite 3.0 in summerschool classes this year.

August 18, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock AVALANCHE-JOURNAL When Texas Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown revealed last weekend that Justin Keown had staked a claim to a starting job, the Red Raiders’ center was naturally grateful.

“I was eligible,” he said, “but coaches were like, ‘I don’t know if we can trust you, not going to classes or whatever.’ I was more concentrating on football and getting my starting position back rather than school.” Then Keown had to deal with the breakup of his marriage in May.

“At first, it was difficult, because we’d been together since junior high school,” he said. “We just had to go our different ways. At first, it was bad, but now, we still talk, so it was best for the both of us.”

Red Raiders hope Duncan can help pass rush after switch August 17, 2010 Don Williams Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Through the first three years of his Texas Tech career, Brian Duncan never needed to develop a sack dance. The Red Raiders had other people who specialized in that: Bell cows such as Brandon Williams and Brandon Sharpe posted single-season sack totals in the double digits, and others like McKinner Dixon and Daniel Howard came close. Now it’s Duncan’s turn. Ever since his spring-time move from middle linebacker to defensive end, the 6-foot-1, 240-pound senior from Baton Rouge, La., has been taking a crash course in learning a new position. “I think everything is working out,” Duncan said. “I’ve still got a lot of things, a lot of different moves, that I have to master and get down pat. But the big thing is helping out this defense. The rush is beautiful, and I’m kind of fitting in with it, so I’m doing pretty well.” Duncan’s resume — one that shows 244 career tackles, two years of leading the team in tackles but only one-half sack — seemed to fit the profile of a middle linebacker. But after Tech’s offseason coaching change, Tommy Tuberville and defensive coordinator James Willis saw something else. Convinced Duncan is more agile coming forward than moving laterally, they bumped him to the defensive front. After Saturday’s scrimmage, Willis praised seniors Bront Bird and Duncan for being willing to change positions after spending the majority of their careers establishing themselves at other spots. Bird went from strong-side linebacker to the middle. “I think they accepted it very well,” Willis said. “They understood the plan. They understood the vision. After that, they became a team member. They’ve accepted it, and both of them have excelled.” To make the adjustment, Duncan sought help from a variety of sources. His position coach, Robert Prunty, provided a DVD showing moves and techniques. The team’s strength and conditioning coach, Joe Walker, offered position-specific drills to do during the summer. And Duncan figured it wouldn’t hurt to pay attention to the best. So he watched Jared Allen, the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end who has averaged 12 sacks a season his first six years in the NFL and made 441/2 sacks in the last three years alone. “He’s good with his hands. He’s quick,” Duncan said. “I kind of watched what he did, trying to fit off of that and see what I can do.” Tech was able to trot out a quality defensive line the last two years, which helped Duncan roam and record 94 and 88 tackles, respectively. Some nights, he might not have had much hand-to-hand grappling with offensive linemen. Now learning how to use his hands is a priority.

“We’ve got the get-off,” Duncan said, “but you always have to have a first move and a second move. A first move is basically getting the offensive lineman’s hands off of you so you can stick and make your second move. Hands are very, very important. We want to work hands first, then our move, and then we’ll get that sack.” Tech’s 1-2 last season at middle linebacker consisted of Duncan and Sam Fehoko, who is on the move as well. Fehoko, who played defensive end his last two years in high school, also changed positions in the spring and will be rushing off the edge. “What it’s going to do is help out this defense a lot,” Duncan said. “Different (opponents) are never going to know where we’re coming from — from standing up, me getting down, Sam on the other side. Just amazing stuff’s going on with this defense. We’re going to dominate with this defense.”
