Two tech starters out vs. CU

By TIM MacMAHON / The Dallas Morning News

Two Texas Tech senior starters will not make the trip to Colorado.

Receiver Robert Johnson (disciplinary reasons) and linebacker Fletcher Session (personal issues) will miss Saturday's game against the Buffaloes, athletic department spokesman Chris Cook said.

Johnson leads the Big 12 with 46 receptions and is tied with teammate Joel Filani for the conference lead with six touchdown catches. Johnson, who briefly left the program after being moved from quarterback in 2004, was benched at the beginning of Tech's Sept. 23 rout of Southeastern Louisiana. That came on the heels of coach Mike Leach's rant about "prima donna pretty boys" and "front-runner showboats."

Session has 24 tackles, including two for loss. He has been nagged by a shoulder injury and did not play against Southeastern Louisiana.

Leach did not immediately return a phone call.

the meltdown in Lubbock begins....

This game in Boulder may be a trap game for the Red Faders.
