Upset Alert

I remember a couple of those games. But I thought it had more to do with Ole Miss, Arky, etc not being used to seeing a Leach offense. Once they saw them more frequently, they adjusted.

The Texas Tech team that beat Arkansas had Kingsbury as coach and was 6-6 or something like that.

It isn't just SEC or Big12 teams, I have seen them beat other teams OOC. It always seems like they are a tough out but they always end the season somewhere between 5-7 to 8-4. They never tend to have breakthrough seasons.

However, in the deep past, that may have been Leach because Miss State looks a lot like that in the SEC now. They win a big game one week and get flatten the other. They are probably the most inconsistent SEC team.

Since I live 90 miles from Lubbock, I've seen them a lot. You are right about them playing up/down to the level of competition. I've always thought it depended on the health of their defense. They've never been able to develop enough depth to overcome key injuries on that side of the ball. When they are healthy there, they stay in each game and have a chance to win 'em.

My Red Fader friends are happy with the McGuire hire. They like what they are seeing...especially his use of the transfer portal and recruiting.

Texas Tech should be a far better program. It is surprising that Baylor and TCU have both been stronger than Tech. Tech has more resources, especially being a public school, and a far more dedicated fanbase. I think they could do very well in new Big12. Issue is that they need to be consistent. Ironically, this is also a similar problem for Texas and Texas A&M who are very up and down every year.

Is Greg Williams coaching there?

They've always been dirty. Especially during the coach Milton Waddams era. I guess Dykes is continuing the tradition

They'll never be "elite" per se. But they should be competitive for sure. Recruiting to Lubbock is a lot more difficult than recruiting to Forth Worth or Waco. While small and private, don't underestimate the Horn Toad and Bear faithful. They'll ante up when needed. Not to the level of a Texas or A&M, but they'll pony up when needed.

I'll bet there are is a lot of red and black in Amon Carter today. Tech has a ton of alumni in the DFW metroplex.
 
BTW, I consider this an upset. Missouri 17 and Kentucky 14. Kentucky got up 14-3 but Missouri has come clawing back.

Kentucky pulled it out
 
Look out Illinois. Spartans fighting back. Oops... Bad wording there.
 
Missed FG for Memphis. That’s their 3rd drive into the UCF RZ that ended in no points.

A failed 4th down att, Int off a bobbled pass, missed 16 yd FG.

UCF up 21-14.

Another BS win for Kentucky aided by horrific officiating. SEC officials are terrible. That roughing the kicker was absolute bullshit and one of many horrible calls in that game.

That penalty was spot on with the rules. You don't get to rough him just because of the muffed snap
 
Liberty is shutting out Arkansas.

So is it possible that Houston Buttnutt or whoever he actually is, isn't really going to win a natty in just two years? Listening to their fans this summer you would have thought so
