Texas vs Texas Tech

More generally, UT couldn't have played any worse in that first half. Tech's got a nice advantage now, and a really good chance to win, but this one isn't over.

I think Tech's D is good...but they're playing as well as they can. They've really studied the offense and know what to expect. The pressure has been incredible on Colt.

I think there is still one or two massive plays left that can totally change momentum or seal the fate for a UT loss tonight. I think there is still a lot left out there on the field.

We also didn't have Cosby out there for the first 3 drives, which hurts a lot. Our offense is predicated on the ability to convert 3rd downs with 6-8 yard passes, and without him out there, Tech could double up on Shipley and let all of our young receivers fail miserably.

We'll see what happens. I've been impressed by Tech's front 7. Their D-line is dominating UT's much bigger and stronger O-line.

Yeah, but the pressure also makes a difference as well. There have been too many drops for UT to get by right now. I remember Shipley looking down at his hands after one of them...they're just not all the way there right now.

Harrell has been good with creating extra time for passes as well, I'm liking that as well. The O-line is overpowering UT's front 4 when they're running the ball.

Should be an exciting 2nd half...
