The story here is a C-USA team vs. a Big 12 team. Houston already proved this year it can take down a Big 12 opponent and match them with points. Houston took down Oklahoma State on the road 45-35 and now they are getting a lot of credit in what looks like a line that is way off. No doubt I give it up to Houston and QB Case Keenum, but I think this will be a bigger challenge for them this week, but that is why you schedule the games so that you can get quality wins over big conference opponents. For Houston they did not play last week and although they had extra time to prepare they also will most likely come out rusty and that will be huge at home when Texas Tech scores first and quiets the crowd. For Texas Tech it seems as though their defense has vastly improved as they haven’t allowed a 1st half TD on defense. Last week they played Texas where many picked Texas to just beat up on Tech for the Crabtree play last year that forced Texas out of the National Championship game. With all that motivation and playing at home in front of the largest crowd to ever watch a football game in Texas Texas only won by 10 (34-24). Tech was missing a few key players on the defensive line and still gave McCoy troubles getting 2 picks off a couple of deflections. On the other side of the ball they lost Grahm Harrel and Crabtree to the NFL, but they have what I think is a better QB in Taylor Potts. Remember the name I think by the end of the year you will hear a lot about him. Going in many said he had more talent than Harrel and it may just be true as he’s got 1281 yards with a 69.5% completion, 12 TD’s 4INT’s. Look for Tech to get some stops and put up enough to win this game by 10+.
