I think we all predicted a win here.

W 38-35 (OT)
Although I assumed a win, I must admit that I didn't think it would be this close. Price has a very good offensive unit with three players that could play just about anywhere they choose. Tech's special teams very unspecial - no surprise there. Oh well; good teams find a way to win these types of games on the road in sold-out stadiums.

@TCU
Wow. Before the UTEP game, I thought Tech should run away with this one, but you never kn ow. TC-Who couldn't even put 25K in the stands last week, which is pretty piss-poor for a top 25 team. This week, half the stadium will be wearing red, which will help. Although I wish for a blow out, I think just getting out of Foat Wuff with a W will do just fine. Looks like another high-scoring game: Tech 42 Frogs 27

Just what the Dr. ordered before the big game in the Land of Collie - a scrimmage against the JV. Hopefully this game will allow Tech to work out whatever hasn't worked the last 2 weeks, and will also be a good walk-through for the biggest road game yet. Tech 65 SELa 14

@Texas A&M
2 undefeated teams? Traditionally a tough place for Tech to get a win, my hope is that this year's early road tests prepare Tech to run away with this one in the second half. In Tech's third sell-out road game of the year, Tech wins big over the Ags after a tough first half: 42-24

Avoiding the letdown after a big road win is crucial this week. Then again, this game isn't in Stoolwater, and it is Tech's homecoming. Still undefeated. Tech 35 Mizzou 17

Tech has never won in Boulder. CU sucks, but Tech will have to play well to win this one. A solid win here will give me confidence that this years team is really good. Tech 24 Buffs 7

@Iowa State
Another tough road game. At this point in the season, however, it doesn't matter. Although not a cake walk, if Tech plays well it should win. Even a cold, windy atmosphere shouldn't be a factor. This one could be another shoot-out: Tech 35 ISU 24

Well, Tech seems to beat UT about every 4 years it seems, so it's definitely time. With that said, who knows which Tech team will show up. The one one that was so full of itself 2 years ago, and was actaully favored to win, or the one that has grown up since then. I think Tech finally wins at home: 28-24

Baylor
Hopefully no let-down against the Brazos Bears. It has certain key elements of a huge upset, but I think Tech is mature enough to squash them in the HUB: 56-17

@Oklahoma
I would love for Tech to win this one, but beating both UT and OU in the same year is unlikely. Since I pick Tech to beat the Cows, I guess this means Tech drops this one on the road in Mobilehoma. Maybe there will be a meth epidemic that hits the Sooners the week of the game....OU 24 Tech 21

Blake,
I admire your optimism, especially after you got outplayed and outcoached last week in UTEP.
But you're right, good teams find flukey ways to win games (see OU game last year).
I am curious though, what makes you so excited about this year's team?
You lost your offensive and defensive MVP's (henderson and slade), your new QB is not a fifth year senior with a lot of experience with the run-n-shoot offense.
To me, this will be a down year for Tech...losses to TCU, A&M, Mizzou, Texas, OU, and Iowa State.
Sorry, but you guys have a lot of tough games on the road. You don't get to play Florida Atlantic this year ( I think the ags already had em booked).
Outplayed - maybe. Outcoached - possibly. The end result, however, is a W, just like the Ags game.
The defense wasn't nearly as physical as it should have been and Tech's special teams really sucked - as usual, but again, for playing in a sold out stadium on the road, I'll take the win every time.
What gets me excited, T-Bag? Simple. Leach has better athletes on this team than ever before, so it stands to reason that this years team will be exciting.
You can't replace Hendo, but Woods has already shown flashes of brilliance. He's so much quicker and his accelation is something I'm not used to seeing.
McBath isn't a safety, but he's going to be phenominal once he gets going.
There's a lot to prove, but Leach has convinced me he knows what he's doing.
We will know a lot more about Tech after this weekend. I will go on record with a 6-6 prediction for you guys this year. I find your 11-1 prediction to be laughable. Good luck with all that.
Ags go 9-3 by virtue of a the Cheesy Tech-esque schedule.
Good point, Fletch. Harrell stayed cool and made some plays that the last 2 QBs wouldn't have made.
it's so nice to see some conversation on this site!!!
