- Houston held Oregon State to 26 net rushing yards on 25 attempts, a total including four sacks for 39 lost yards; the Beavers' top two backs still averaged only a little over three yards per carry. The preview highlights Houston's run defense as a challenge for Texas Tech while noting Oregon State had more success through the air. Net rushing totals are not pure running-back efficiency. - The writer sees J'Koby Williams as Texas Tech's only productive back through two games and argues for him to receive most touches if Cameron Dickey and Quentin Joyner do not improve. Joyner scored a touchdown but also drew an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty against Oregon State. This is an analyst's workload recommendation, not a reported depth-chart change or an injury report. - For Texas Tech, the preview's proposed passing route is enough rushing production from J'Koby Williams to slow Houston's pass rush and create opportunities for Will Hammond. It also identifies backup quarterback Thomas Castellanos' running ability as a possible additional option. Neither a two-quarterback package nor a changed role for Castellanos is confirmed.

- Pick/market: We won't get caught by a trailing DE if we don't run plays that are too slow to develop when the D knows the QB running is close to 0%.

- QB/TE: The play where Castellenos rolled out and hit TE for a TD was brilliant call by Leftwich.

- QB/WR: QB and WR are bad matchup for a team struggling in the secondary and getting pressure on the QB.

- OL/LB: My concern is that even with a simplified offensive scheme, we should have been able to run at will on acu, if our OL is so much better than last year like we’ve been...

- OL: Ok, we have some serious problems with offense.
