TEXAS TECH VS. NEBRASKA GAME RECAP

THE GOOD:
- Tech defense looks awesome. Tonight's effort was the main reason that Tech came away with a victory. The big story coming into the game was Nebraska's Suh, but I have to believe that by the end of the game all anybody should be talking about is Tech's Brandon Sharpe, who had a career 4 sacks in this game! The Defense even got a fumble recovery that we hustled back for a TD - just a great effort!

- For the first time I can remember in the Leach era, the game ended with only 4 Tech penalties for 40 yards. This group is really playing well together as a team and showing the discipline it takes to hang around in close games for the win.


THE BAD:
- Offense took foot off the petal in the 2nd half with multiple 3 and outs. This was especially disappointing after watching the ease that the offense moved the chains in the 1st half. I can't figure out if Nebraska made some great halftime adjustments that our offense couldn't process, or if we became complacent with a nice lead and didn't give as much effort until they closed the gap.


THE UGLY:
Although I didn't realize it at the time, it appears that Sticks has some type of foot or ankle injury that occurred late in the game. The word on the street is that he had a procedure on it Sunday and will be out for the next 2-3 weeks. Let's hope that Potts has completely recovered from his concussion so he can lead us to victory against the hated Aggies next week!
