Defense? 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."
