- Pick/market: In true Mike Leach/Kingsbury style, Elf will get blown out in their next game.

- Pick/market: that was just a terrible take.

- Pick/market: How about an asteroid takes out DKR around 7pm.

- Pick/market: I was there in 99-04 and for some reason the ladies there thought my crew & I were football players.

- Pick/market: I agree with you.

- Pick/market: Very confident in this team not just this game but every game.

- Pick/market: 30 - 17 Tech wins, red zone issues persist.

- Pick/market: After only scoring 33 out of the gate Tech O gets going plus at least one D or ST's TD for 53 points.

- Pick/market: Great show as usual.

- Pick/market: Taj being out sank us at WSU.

- Pick/market: This game seemed to turn when Hammond threw that interception when we were up 14-0.

- Texas Tech held Abilene Christian to 10 points in its opener, but the preview notes sustained possessions of 9, 11 and 15 plays, only one of which scored. LB Jamond Mathis led the defense with six tackles and 2.5 sacks. The report shows pass-rush production alongside an ability by the opponent to extend drives, rather than uniformly dominant defense. - Texas Tech used three running backs against Abilene Christian: Cameron Dickey had 14 carries, J'Koby Williams 13 and Quinten Joyner 10. Joyner gained 43 yards and scored once. That opener supports a shared backfield role; the preview does not announce a new starter or a change in the rotation for Oregon State.

- Injury: You can pick one up during bye weeks or in case of injuries but there are no bye weeks in Week 1.

- Injury: McGuire says edge defender Trey White (knee) won't play this week.

- Injury: Not a fan of having a QB coming off an ACL playing on a slippery field

- Red Raider Recon described Trey White as out again for the upcoming game, without providing a return timetable in the supplied discussion. - The hosts credited Mathis with two sacks and several pressures in his debut and suggested his early opportunity could earn him a larger continuing role; the expanded role was their projection, not an announced depth-chart change. - The hosts singled out Texas Tech's edge depth as a defensive strength when the group is fully healthy.

- Injury: Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire provided updates on some key players and their projected availability this weekend in Corvallis.

- Injury: No, we don't know what Hammond is capable of, he is just getting back into playing after a major injury and no playing or practice time.

- Injury: honestly, I’ve been very happy with Hammond‘s play tonight.

- Injury: Tech fans can lament our underwhelming effort tonight all they want, but I’ll take a team whose QB is coming off an ACL tear and seeing his first game action in nearly 1 year...

- QB: OKie St...THAT'S how you run the QB zone read....that was nice.

- QB: The NE QB looked like crap lastnight, maybe They'll bench him and move BM up to 2nd string...

- Pick/market: I have seen enough sample size of Hammond.

- QB: If you’re going to insult the best QB Tech has had, at least get your facts correct.

- QB: The guy who thinks Bill Parcells doesn’t know what he’s talking about calls me dumb.

- Texas Tech's Will Hammond was described as a talented, high-ceiling but inexperienced quarterback whose development was affected by injury and missed spring team repetitions; the discussion did not supply a new setback or a medical clearance. - The Texas Tech discussion treated available checkdowns as legitimate choices and emphasized the challenge of finding balance in Mack Leftwich's playcalling.

- Pick/market: Welcome the big boys everyone, we are starting to act like blue bloods

- QB: I wasn’t really thinking about it that way but the FSU QB was mostly terrible.

- Pick/market: Only at TT can the qb throw for 300 yards, complete 79% of his passes and be harshly graded receiving the worst grade on the team.

- Pick/market: Hammond is a young QB.

- QB: A good TT QB doesn't miss those when he has protection, and from my standpoint Hammond had good protection.

- QB/OL: No Defense is going cover a Tech QB on an Option Read until the Back up specialist comes in and then the D End will be assigned to him.

- QB: We had an NFL QB and 2 NFL WRs last season and looked awful a lot on O.

- QB: Anymore questions from all the Hammond idiots on here as to why we went and got Sorsby.

- QB: hammond on the quarterback draw now we’re just being flat out stupid

- QB: All time great Red Raider, but he’s had a fairly precipitous fall off in recent years as a college coach.

- QB: More like neither the QB nor the OC are worthy of the offense capacity available.

- LB/DB: three NFL starters in their rookie years, plus a CB that will likely be a top 2 round pick and a DT that could go pretty high.

- QB: Coaches now have him 4th on depth chart.

- LB: My drunk 3rd quarter thought was: "Would Guz Malzahn or Mike Gundy be willing to be a redzone consultant for our offensive coordinator since they're not doing anything these days?" Immediately began trying to...

- Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire expects his young secondary, especially the safeties, to face a meaningful downfield passing test against Oregon State, while coordinator Shiel Wood emphasized coverage detail against the Beavers' challenging route combinations.

- Shephard described Texas Tech box defenders Ansel Nedore and Ben Roberts as violent, assignment-sound players and said Oregon State intends to challenge their recognition with different looks and a new offensive play package rather than repeat the opener's calls.

- Intel: When OSU scores, I hope they go for 2 and break their foot off in Lanning’s

- Offense: I wish we could hire Gary Kubiak as an analyst right now to come in, oversee and design a red zone scheme for us...

- Intel: Leftwitch said “maybe we got too schemey in the red zone”.

- OL: Those pull plays need to be run much quicker and until Hammond or someone can run not on an RPO.

- Offense: The Dummies know how to run a red zone offense.

- Offense: Tech offense attacked the total field.

- Offense: Also every kickoff was out of the back of the end zone but the last one.

- Offense: I loved those offenses as well, and have always thought it would be interesting to manufacture a team with the best, fast strike air raid + the best most air tight defense just to...

- Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond completed 26 of 33 passes against Abilene Christian, including all 13 throws of five yards or fewer, but the offense finished three red-zone visits with field goals rather than touchdowns. - Texas Tech's Cameron Dickey, J'Koby Williams and Quinten Joyner combined for 173 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a three-back opener rotation, giving the short-passing offense a complementary rushing workload to bring into Corvallis.

- Texas Tech lineman Hunter Zambrano identified wrong linebacker targets and blocks released too early as reasons productive five- and six-yard opener runs did not become explosives, presenting bigger gains as contingent on corrections rather than an established rushing breakthrough. - Texas Tech running back J'Koby Williams handled 14 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown plus eight catches for 57 yards, with the offense feeding him on its first five plays and using him as both a rushing and receiving outlet. - Texas Tech used Williams, Cameron Dickey and Quinten Joyner in the opener after Joyner's recovery from a torn ACL had left Williams and Dickey carrying the load the previous season. - Texas Tech's Zambrano made his first appearance in nearly two years after injuries and back surgery sidelined him last season, starting against Abilene Christian and describing the offense's tempo and long drives as tiring during his return.

- QB/LB: There are so many interactions that create a great offense and a great defense, and nearly all of those were disrupted in one way or another in the offseason.

- OL: Offensive line jelling first half and off the field midway through the 3rd period.

- RB: I was thinking it was either the RB didn’t get out of bounds or try to get out of bounds maybe.

- TE: Also, e may see Hammond run on those this eek if OSU just crashes don on the play like ACU as doing.

- OL/DL: On one play in particular on Saturday, I was yelling things at the TV that are unprintable here because one of Tech's Edge guys was completely locked in a cross between a bearhug and...

- OL: My observation- OL is just as bad as last year…& so is the OC.

- OL: Our offensive line is a disgrace.

- WR: I didn’t realize how many transfers ACU has on their roster.

- OL/KICKER: At this point, I have no concerns with the defense.

- DL: Chris Kocurek is the defensive line coach for the 49rs.

- Texas Tech's defense was assessed as performing as expected in the opener discussion, with the speakers emphasizing that the opponent had to work through long possessions to collect first downs. - A specific defensive lapse was a late 25-yard run on third-and-10 after an edge-containment failure, providing an identifiable correction even within the podcast's generally favorable assessment.

- QB: Running game and defense wins NC.

- Intel: This is the college football equivalent of a 16 seed beating a 1.

- Intel: It was painfully obvious in the Cotton Bowl game against USC back in the late 90s.

- LB: Joe Yeager and Jarret Johnson discuss their players to watch for Texas Tech's road matchup at Oregon State.

- LB: This is the only class that will be litigious because everyone else is in school and will have the five year option.

- Intel: They’ll win it then lose two games they shouldn’t and complain about not being the #1 seed in the CFP.

- Intel: I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately with the season starting back up, as I just don’t seem to have the anticipation of the season starting like I usually have.

- Intel: I like posters like you that have no problem self-identifying (with hubris) as a complete moron when it comes to football knowledge.

- Intel: It’s the new 5th year do-over transfer portal path.

- DL: I wouldn't be so sure on that line of thinking.

- Intel: Here lies an All Ball Knower He was rumored to be neither a shower or a grower He spammed the message boards like a true football poser And was the epitome of all hardest...

- Intel: We got 3 seats on this "longest bar in college sports" thing they have.

- Intel: Seems pretty accurate, both individually and comparatively

- DL: Mathis did a great job pass rushing and I am glad he is being recognized, but he was not very good in setting the edge against the run.

- Practice: Leftwich called a great first half but 2 sideline fades to the short side of the field, 4 of the 8 outside screens, 2 flares one behind the line of scrimmage all need to...

- LB: We are an impatient bunch - instant gratification is demanded - go easy.

- LB: McGuire on Will Karoll: "Whenever I mess with him at practice, he'll turn to me and go, 'I didn't hear what you were saying.
