What defense? Texas Techy OSUputting up big offensive numbers The Oklahoma State scoreboard manag er should have his hands full Saturday as two of the nation’s highest scoring offenses meet in Stillwater, Okla. Texas Tech (5-1, 2-0 Big 12) rolls into this weekend riding a three-game winning streak that includes blowout victories against its first two Big 12 opponents. However, its offensive numbers have been staggering. Coming into the season, many critics thought the loss of quarterback Kliff Kingsbury to the NFL would cause Tech's passing game to suffer. But Kingsbury’s replacement, senior B.J. Symons, has responded with a record-breaking start. The Red Raiders own the nation’s most dangerous passing offense, averaging an incredible 519.8 yards per game. Western Michigan is second on that list with a mere average of 344.3 yards. So much for ball control: Tech doesn’t need it. While the Raiders balk at the run, they’ve translated all those passing yards into more than 46 points a game, ranking second only to No. 1 Oklahoma. Oklahoma State’s offense hasn’t been bad either. The Cowboys have used a more balanced approach to rank fifth in the country in scoring offense. They will try to use this balance to control the clock and the game. Offensive tackle Corey Hilliard under stands the importance of punning the ball against a team like Tech. “It would be good for us to run the ball and try to slow down the tempo of the game,” Hilliard said to media on Tuesday. “We like to run the ball no matter who we play, so 1 definitely think that will be a focal point for us to con trol the clock.” The Cowboys will need to establish their running game in order to hit big-play receiver Rashaun Woods and keep pace with Tech’s high voltage offense. Kick-off is set for 2:30 p.m. and will be televised on ABC. Oklahoma looks to avoid post-Texas hangover Missouri quarterback Brad Smith made a name for himself last year against Oklahoma. The then-freshman shredded the Sooner’s vaulted defense for 391 total yards and lead an improbable comeback that barely fell short of a victory. While the Tigers failed to win that night, their future was revealed. Smith showed his promise again last week in a stunning upset of Nebraska, which earned him Big 12 Player of the Week honors. Performances such as this have made it impossible for Missouri to sneak up on the top ranked Sooners again this year. Oklahoma is highly aware of who Brad Smith is this time around, and its defense is looking for revenge. “It’s a given that we are looking to stop (Smith) because he had a great game last year,” said defensive end Jonathan Jackson on Tuesday. “Our defense was upset with the way we played and we want to have a really good game this time.” The Sooners are coming off a 65-13 rout of rival Texas Saturday, which has many wondering if the Sooners are in dan ger of a letdown this week. After being asked several variations of this question since the big win, head coach Bob Stoops finally responded. “You guys have to get a new motto,” Stoops said. “Check our record after the game the last few years and see how we’ve done.” Oklahoma has not lost the post-Texas game in Stoops tenure. Kick-off is set for 6 p.m. and will be shown on Fox Sports Net. Annual Rebound Game On the other side of last Saturday’s Red River Massacre was Texas. The Longhorns will once again look to rebound after the Oklahoma game. Iowa State (2-4, 0-2 Big 12) offers a welcome opponent upon which they can vent this annual frustration. The Cyclones have been ravaged by injuries this season, as 17 different players have already missed time. They too were embarrassed last week, as they were blown out by Texas Tech 52-21. Texas marks its fourth ranked opponent in the last five games. Iowa State’s sched ule, to date, ranks as the toughest in NCAA Division 1-A. The most interesting subplot to this game is the emergence of redshirt fresh man Vincent Young, who will get his first collegiate start this weekend. “Vince starting on Saturday isn’t about what (former starter) Chance (Mock) did n't do,” said UT coach Mack Brown on Tuesday. “It's more a case of the plays Vince did make because Chance has played well, too. We're still going to play both of them, we just have to figure out how."
