- Cover 3 says Thomas Castellanos' package of offensive plays at Texas Tech is expanding beyond the gadget-player role the hosts initially expected. The discussion identifies a growing role but provides no snap count or confirmed change to the starting lineup. - The hosts speculate that Castellanos could challenge for Texas Tech's starting quarterback job. Treat that as an analyst's depth-chart watch, not a coach-announced quarterback switch or a verified plan for Brendan Sorsby's availability.

- Coaching: The two keys to this game is our pass rush, and our defensive secondary.

- QB: OSU QB has put up video game stats in HS and his first year at Mercer.

- QB: I’m pretty sure it started with Ben DiNucci, the Cowboys backup QB who started a hat company and got all the famous cowboys to wear them.

- QB/LB: I have wondered if Hammond has a bit of a risk averse personality.

- 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.

- QB: Okie State proves that you need a great QB to win big games.

- QB: Beating a Top 5 team offsets a loss to a lesser team in my estimation.

- QB: If the O isn't moving the chains regularly, then put in qb #2, #3, etc.

- QB: remove from the playbook any formation with a QB split out wide (much less two QBs!).

- Pick/market: I don't see anything recently, nor historically, from these coaches, that they will be able to coach away our problems with QB, OL and running game.

- 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/DB: This might be one of the most important points we have all over looked.

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

- QB: Hammond - is more interested in making a completion than a 1st down.

- QB/OL: Beadles refuses to post his rewatch thoughts, I’ll post mine: Secondary - Very bad.

- Pick/market: Until we have an OC that is promoting his QB to let it fly, and the ability to check into a pass play, it will appear excruciatingly contrived.

- QB: Saw him in coverage once and saw him pressure the qb 3 times.
