Houston tried to mount a comeback but fell short 37-32 against UCF. Houston boasts one of the most prolific offenses in the nation. The team had a strong start of the season by upsetting Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. However, an unexplainable lose to UTEP and now UCF has taken Houston and Keenum out of the national spotlight. Case Keenum’s Heisman hopes have also dissipated but still had solid numbers throwing for 377 yards and 3 TDS. Prior to...
When Texas Tech’s Taylor Potts went down and suffered a concussion, the Red Raider faithful weren’t sure what they were going to get when QB Steven Sheffield stepped in under center. Sheffield, a walk-on QB, has done nothing but impress all his doubters by throwing for 724 yards and 8 TDs in the past two weeks against Kansas State and Nebraska. Unfortunately, Texas Tech may have to dig deeper in the roster and turn to redshirt freshman Seth Doege....
Florida’s Tim Tebow may not be the only concussed QB to sit out on Saturday. Texas Tech’s Taylor Potts suffered a concussion last week in Tech’s game against New Mexico which earned him an overnight stay in a Lubbock hospital. Unlike the secrecy surrounding Tebow, TT coach Mike Leach has made it know that Potts will sit this week as a precautionary measure. TT will turn to former walk-on Steven Sheffield to lead the offense. Sheffield come off the...
Texas Texas coach Mike Leach is making some changes in Lubbock. No, Texas Tech isn’t making coaching adjustment on the football field, but rather with his players’s twitter accounts. Leach has banned members of the Red Raider football team from twittering. The change in his policy comes after TT linebacker Marlon Williams twitted that he wondered why he was expected to be on time for a team meeting when his linebacker coach himself was running late. Leach and company...
New Mexico coach Mike Locksley has tensions high in Albuquerque this season, and I’m not just talking about on the gridiron either. The first year head coach was issued a verbal reprimand after getting into a fight with his assistant coach. Locksley and WR coach J.B. Gerald had gotten riled up during a coaches meeting when Locksley grabbed Gerald’s collar and punched him the the mouth. Gerald told police what had happened and that Locksley had split his lip. New Mexico...
A frustrated Texas Tech team not only lost 28-29 in a back-and-forth game with No. 17 Houston, but the team will be without the services of colorful OL Brandon Carter. Coach Mike Leach suspended Carter indefinitely for violating team rules. This is a huge hit for Tech as Carter is not a only a bodyguard for Potts, but he is also a captain of the team. As of now, the school is not releasing any other details regarding the...
Say what you want about Conference -USA, but the Houston Cougars are kicking some tail and taking names. The Cougars beat Texas Tech 29-28 in a late-night thriller yesterday in Houston. Case Keenum led Houston to a 4th quarter surge that was enough to secure the victory. Head Coach Kevin Sumlin is in his second year as coach but he’s compiled a very impressive resume so far, not including yesterday’s win vs. Texas Tech, and a Sept. 26th road...
Red Raider starting running back, Baron Batch is expected to miss between 3-6 weeks with some type of arm injury, according to ESPN‘s Joe Schad. This comes as very bad news for the Red Raiders, who will start with a new quarterback under center this season. Batch was expected to take some of the pressure off of Taylor Potts, who replaces Graham Harrell. Batch led the Red Raiders in rushing last year with 758 yards and 7 TDs. The...
