Why Houston Baptist Will Win

Just how quickly did Texas Tech tweak and improve the defense that finished 127th in the nation? It gets back a whole lot of experience and main tacklers, but they didn’t exactly produce, especially in the secondary.

What’s Going To Happen

Houston Baptist put up a ton of yards and plenty of points last week against North Texas, but a whole lot of both came in the fourth quarter when the game was well in hand.

Texas Tech will go off early, have this put away by halftime, and then will give up a few yards late to make the stats look bad. The Red Raider offense will be phenomenal.
