College Football Pick Texas Tech at Iowa State 10-2-10
Texas Tech Red Raiders (-7) at Iowa State Cyclones
Saturday October 2, 2010 7:00 PM EST
Texas Tech comes into this battle of Big 12 teams looking for its first conference victory. The Red Raiders are 2-1 while the Cyclones are 2-2. Iowa State is coming off a victory vs Northern Iowa while Texas Tech had an extra week to prepare for this one.
The one thing that has stood out for this Iowa State team is their defense. They are only allowing 18 points a game, 33rd best in the nation. The defense is gonna have to come thru because the offense is only averaging little over 20 points a game, 99th in the nation. Texas Tech had 2 weeks to get over the tough loss to Texas. They will look at Senior QB Taylor Potts to carry this offense. Potts has 810 yards this year with 8 TDs and 2 Ints. The Red Raiders are averaging over 33 points a game but are getting little help from the running game which is ranked 116th in the nation.
Look for the Red Raiders to get back on track after the loss to Texas. Normally with football picks, I like teams to have running games. With the Iowa State defense looking solid I expect the running game for Texas Tech to do just enough. Taylor Potts is a good QB and should be able to carve the Iowa State defense up.
