Texas vs Texas Tech Game Preview

Why Texas Tech Will Win

Well there’s the passing game.

Texas Tech used to wake up in the morning and throw for 400 yards for breakfast, but the last time it hit the four-bill mark against an FBS team was against Oklahoma State in early October 2019.

The 2016 Red Raiders threw for over 500 seven times with some Mahomes guy throwing for 734 yards in a loss to Oklahoma.

Against FIU, Tyler Shough started to look like the top NFL prospect a whole lot of people think he could be, with 399 yards – the team threw for 407 – with four touchdowns, no interceptions, and a whole lot of big plays down the field.

Texas hasn’t faced a passing game yet.

Louisiana threw okay, but it had to because the running game didn’t work. Arkansas didn’t do much through the air, but that’s because the backfield was running all over the Longhorns. And Rice … it was a perfectly balanced offense of bleeeech.

Now the Texas secondary gets tested just as the Red Raiders might be hitting their stride. But on the flip side …

Why Texas Will Win

The Texas Tech defense hasn’t faced much of a running game yet.

This might be one of the strongest front sevens the Red Raiders have had in years, and they have yet to allow more than 80 yards on the ground. That’s partly because they faced Houston, Stephen F. Austin, and FIU.

As good as the offense has been, this isn’t a team that’s going to win the time of possession battle no matter how well everything is working. Texas is going to run, run, and run some more after the explosion kicked in with a 427-yard day against Rice.

Casey Thompson has hit 77% of his passes so far – limited in the first two games and terrific against the Owls – the O is the best in the Big 12 at converting on third downs, and overall, the team isn’t making a whole lot of mistakes.

What’s Going To Happen

This is where the Texas lines have to show up.

The defensive front got gouged by Arkansas, but that’s not a problem this week. There won’t be a slew of sacks, but just pressuring Shough enough to make him fully trust his first read will be enough.

The Longhorns will be balanced after the Red Raider defense comes up with a strong first quarter. It won’t be a perfect performance, and it won’t be a 63-56 win like last year, but it’ll be a strong Big 12 start for Steve Sarkisian.

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorns got through the adversity of having to play four straight road games – it wasn’t able to play in Austin since February 23rd – and kept on rolling with three wins in the bunch.

It’s great on the boards, the three point defense is solid, and the team has been shooting really, really well, making over half of their shots in the last three games and doing a nice job from three.

Texas Tech doesn’t make enough threes, the there aren’t enough rebounds on the defensive end, and …

Why Texas Tech Will Win

The Red Raiders did just fine a few weeks ago in the 68-59 win over Texas.

They were fine from the field, stopped Texas and its offense, and they more than held their owns on the boards to eliminate second chance point opportunities.

Texas Tech is about the defensive side, leading the Big 12 in scoring D, doing a great job of keeping games low-scoring, close, and then getting to the free throw line. The team took 26 free throws in the last win over Texas and 28 in in the first meeting.

What’s Going To Happen

Both games were close with the little things making a difference – and the Red Raiders being on the right side thanks to doing a bit more defensively.

Texas Tech got Texas twice with free throws, doing a bit more from the field, and by winning the turnover battle. It’ll be another close, tight battle, and it’ll be another Red Raider win.

Texas (14-6) vs Texas Tech (14-8) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college basketball, go to BetMGM

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorns pulled up out of the nosedive with a strong five games, even in the losses – there’s no shame in losing in double overtime at Oklahoma State and by two in a good fight against West Virginia.

The team isn’t all that consistent shooting, but it’s starting to do a better job of finding ways to produce. The shots weren’t falling against Kansas, but the Longhorns rebounded everything and was always on the line.

On the flip side, Texas Tech has hit a snag – it’s managing to play okay and lose.

The Red Raiders aren’t shooting well enough, it’s not doing much of anything from three, and it’s not coming up with the big plays at the big times.

Why Texas Tech Will Win

Texas continues to turn it over way too often.

For all of the good things the Longhorns are doing, a lot are being undone by making a whole slew of mistakes. They’re also wildly inconsistent, especially from the outside – they hit half of their threes against West Virginia and Kansas State and couldn’t hit a thing against Kansas, Oklahoma State or TCU.

Texas Tech isn’t playing poorly, it’s just not winning.

The defense has been solid – especially against teams from three – and unlike Texas, it’s not making a slew of mistakes or turning the ball over.

What’s Going To Happen

The Red Raiders got the Longhorns back in mid-January in an entertaining fight on the road. They didn’t shoot particularly well, but they went to the free throw line over and over and over again – they made four more free throws and won by two.

Expect something close to that again. Texas Tech will win the turnover and mistake battle and will get just a few extra points on the line to finally stop the current slide.

Texas (1-0) vs Texas Tech (1-0) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM

Why Texas Will Win

Here comes the Texas passing game.

Sam Ehlinger threw for 426 yards and five touchdowns in barely a half of work in the 59-3 over UTEP. Texas Tech? It got hammered by Bailey Zappe and Houston Baptist for 567 passing yards and four scores in the 35-33 Red Raider win.

The Longhorn offense was red-hot from the start, it’s got the offensive depth to keep the pressure on Texas Tech’s secondary throughout, and it’s going to let the running game eat, too.

Basically, the team had its tune-up game.

Houston Baptist didn’t get any pressure on Red Raider QB Alan Bowman. Texas will.

Why Texas Tech Will Win

Texas Tech got its tune-up game out of the way, too.

It might have been a rough second half against HBU, but it got to feel the pressure of a tight game, and it got the win. Texas went through a light scrimmage and wasn’t tested in any way.

Bowman threw for 430 yards and two touchdowns – he was sharp after missing most of last year – and SaRodorick Thompson provided a running game to balance things out a bit. Thompson was arrested after getting into a car race earlier this summer, but he’s expected to go.

The Texas Tech defense might have issues, but the offense will keep pushing all game long.

– Week 3 Expert Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Texas Tech will get its yards, and it’ll make things interesting, but the Texas offense will hit on all cylinders. It’s not going to be Ehlinger throwing for 400 yards, but the attack will blow past the 500-yard mark with the running game taking over as the game goes on.

Who was the MVP in Texas’ convincing win over Texas Tech?

There are more than a few deserving names, but who was the Offensive MVP in the Texas Longhorns’ win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders?

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out a disappointing season on a high note. Any team that puts up 49 points in a game will have a bevy of options for MVP, and that is not untrue here. Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had an efficient 431 total yards and 3 total touchdowns on 19/27 passing, and former third-string QB-turned-RB Roschon Johnson had 105 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in the best performance of his career.

While both Johnson and Ehlinger are valid choices, my pick is wide receiver Devin Duvernay. Duvernay has stepped up in a big way as a senior, posting monstrous season totals of 103 receptions for 1294 yards and 9 total touchdowns. Saturday’s performance was the cherry on top of a great season, as the speedy wideout went for 199 yards and a touchdown on 6 catches, including this beautiful 75-yard touchdown from Sam Ehlinger:

While Duvernay was questionably snubbed from the final watch-list for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given each year to the best wide receiver in college football, he has definitely seen a rise in draft stock. Duvernay’s top-end speed, reliable hands, and quick feet will make him a very useful tool in the NFL from day 1.

Watch: Longhorn seniors introduced before their final game at Texas

Ahead of the Texas Longhorns’ matchup with the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Longhorn seniors were greeted by their families on the field

As the Texas Longhorns football team took the field at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Friday morning, it would mark the last time the current senior class would step foot in DKR as Texas Longhorns. Before the game, the seniors were greeted by their families in celebration of the four years of blood, sweat, and tears they have sacrificed for Texas football.

In this bittersweet moment captured by Texas’ social media team, seniors such as Devin Duvernay, Zach Shackelford, Collin Johnson, and more meet with their loved ones before walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 49-24.

Postgame Report: Texas stomps Texas Tech 49-24

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out the season on a high note

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out a disappointing season on a high note. In the first quarter, Texas had a tough time getting anything going and went down 14-0 early. After that, the defense stepped up and the offense got into a groove, taking shots down the field and spreading out the Red Raiders’ defense. The win today leaves the Longhorns with a 7-5 record and looking towards a mid or low-tier bowl game.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had another huge game, throwing for 348 yards and 2 touchdowns with 19/27 passing. As usual, Ehlinger was effective on the ground as well, rushing 10 times for 83 yards and a touchdown. Ehlinger officially surpassed 10,000 career yards before he got pulled for Casey Thompson late as the game was already out of reach.

Senior wide receiver Devin Duvernay had a monster performance in his last game at DKR, catching 6 passes for 199 yards and 1 touchdown. Duvernay’s score came on a beautiful 75-yard pass from Ehlinger, which Duvernay caught in stride and took to the house:

QB-turned-RB Roschon Johnson added 105 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, putting in his best performance as a Texas Longhorn. On the defensive side of the ball, Marqez Bimage was the main standout with a forced fumble, fumble recovery, and sack.

The Longhorns await Selection Day to find out where they will travel for a bowl game. The Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Florida is a popular choice among analysts, and the Longhorns could easily be headed to Florida.

Referee Cooper Castleberry hilariously confirms that the previous play was, in fact, a pass

Being a referee is a hard and thankless job. On any given play there are so many moving parts that it is easy to get lost in the shuffle and miss a call or two. Despite what your average fan would have you believe, spotting penalties in real-time when you’re on the field is extremely difficult. Luckily, some calls are easy. For instance, referee Cooper Castleberry was able to confirm that the previous play was, in fact, a pass:
