TEXAS TECH VS. K- STATE RECAP

THE GOOD:

"Sticks" Sticking around at QB?: Steven Sheffield put on another outstanding show Saturday night with 490 passing yards and 7 TDs. Not bad for a guy getting his first start of his collegiate career.

Tech Running Game on Track: The few times that Sheffield wasn't throwing TDs, the running back trio of Batch, Jeffers, and Stephens ate up yards in the ground game as they combined to rush for over 175 and 1 TD [Batch]. Add to that an additional 75+ receiving yards for one very productive unit.

Defense Steps Up: Even the offensive fireworks couldn't overshadow a defensive unit that only gave up 284 total yards and 1 TD [the other score was a return on a Sheffield interception]. They also forced 2 fumbles that our offense capitalized on. Great Effort, Guys!

THE BAD:

Honestly, was there any bad spot last night? It's a thing of beauty when all 3 facets of the game come together, and with the exception of a few miscues, last night was the best game of the season for Texas Tech.

THE UGLY:

Where's the Students? We dominated most phases of the game, so the ugliest thing I could think of was the lack of students represented at the game. Apparently they were on a fall break Monday and Tuesday so many students opted to ditch the game to go home to visit mommy and daddy. I don't know what's worse, having a half-filled student section on TV, or scheduling a homecoming when half the students aren't even there...
