Yo ho yo ho! a pirate's life for me! For the Texas Tech Red Raiders a pirate's life consists of lots of passing, not a lot of running, and not a lot of defending. Last year was a bit more extreme as they did all those things, only more so. Usually the defense is more serviceable and the running game has a little more punch than they did in 2011. We expect more of the same in … [Read more...] about #42 Texas Tech Red Raiders: College Football 77 in 77

Take It To The Bank!! Week 4, College Football
