Tech prepares to host resurgent Fresno Stat
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — After two weeks, Texas
Tech hasn’t allowed a touchdown, leads the Big 12 in
total offensive yardage and has scored more than 30
points in each game.
But those stats were forged in victories against
lightweights Texas-El Paso and North Texas. This
week’s matchup against Fresno State will be the
team’s first real test.
While not attracting much attention before the sea
son, Fresno State has bolstered its reputation by giv
ing No. 16 Colorado a scare last weekend, threatening
to tie the game in the final seconds. Colorado hung on
to win 29-21.
Tech players said they took notice of Fresno’s per
formance and expect a tough game.
“They have a real quick defense,’’ said offensive
guard Erik Carruth. “They don’t have a lot of big
guys but they swarm to the ball the way our guys
do. They’re definitely the best team we’ve played
this year.”
Coach Spike Dykes conceded that Fresno will be a
chance for the team to gauge how good it really is.
“It’s nice to be 2-0, don’t get me wrong,” Dykes
said. “But the schedule has a lot to do with that.”
In Tech’s first game of the season, running back
Ricky Williams ran for a career-best 251 yards and two
touchdowns, leading the Red Raiders to a 35-3 victo
ry over UTEP.

game of the season.
