Potts has no pocket awareness or mobility, but he can throw the ball pretty well. Tech should hang on the next two games with Potts making smart decisions and not forcing anything. Sheffield gets back by OK State game and we should win out. BTW if Sheffield starts the season, Tech is undefeated and going to BCS bowl if not the Nat. Championship. Ruffan is doing a fantastic job with the defense. Got em running to the football and making plays. Tech has a great defense and a real good offense with Sheffield.

With a weak O-Line you're going to need a lot more back ups at QB and not all back ups will be as good as Sticks is. Tech needs to worry more about the O-Line injuries rather than the QBs’.

One of two things will happen: (1) Potts realizes he's a marked man and plays lights out; or (2) Potts realizes he's a marked man, panics, and forces too many throws resulting in a very poor performance, multiple INTs, and Heaven forbid, a loss. He just needs to realize that there are more receivers than just Swindall and Leong. Make your reads, spread it out, and dominate! OL, keep em clean!

This game scares me. Good Luck to the boys in Red and Black. I think Tech will either hang 80 on the Aggies or we will lose by 3. This game scares me. Good Luck to the boys in Red and Black.

It's the miraculous, healing promise of redemption against A&M. He'll be there all right, throwing off his front foot. And Rev. Carter will be in the pulpit giving a sermon his line mates can tell their grandkids about. They'll be busy on all of those draws, counters and screen plays Leach will call between homeruns. As for the defense, they are probably camped at the 40 yard line waiting for kickoff. Talk about a 12th man, it'll look like 15 or 16 out there on Saturday. Special teams: there are strangers in the house. Sick ball! Erxleben: take an extra step, make the Muttleys run and fetch. Fans: It's Halloween and the Aggies will be wearing the masks, so let them know how normal people feel about them. Do it for Rodney Allison, do it for all of the vandalism A&M feels entitled tp leave behind in Lubbock, and for still believing that Tech isn't good enough to be in THEIR conference. Oh, and for hiring "The Village People" as cheerleaders. Win the game so that when Texas loses two down the line Tech will go to the championship game. Because right now, Texas Tech is the best team in the Big 12. A light bulb just flashed on in Potts’ head. It’s the miraculous, healing promise of redemption against A&M.

Way to turn around Tech! Too bad Leach didnt play you aginst UT and UH, I think it would change the fate of the Red Raiders. Get better man, because the high flying Tech offense looks better with you at the helm! Get better buddy, way to represent the Austin Area, Connally, and Tech SHEFF!!!! Way to turn around Tech!

Tech is better than A&M on all sides of the ball. However, the best team doesn't always win. The team that plays the best wins. I believe Tech is better than Houston. I remember when a better Tech team lost to Navy because Navy played better. I also remember when Tech beat a better Texas team several years back when Kingsbury was the QB. If A&M plays like they did against OSU and Tech plays like they did against New Mexico, A&M may well win the game. As Coach leach says, if Tech goes out and worries about doing their job (and actually does so), we win w/ whoever starts at at QB, but it is a dangerous trap game none-the-less. This sounds crazy, but I'm more concerned with the A&M game this year than KU. Too many variables to discuss here, so will sign off. Looking forward to discussing a big win this weekend! Guns Up!!

Now he has two injured QBs. Good chance that Potts is not going to be right. Hand off, run the football and beat the Ags. Leach should have never gigged the Aggies about their injured QB (last year).
