Steven Sheffield had what could be the game of his life tonight leading the Red Raiders on a scoring drive each time he took the field. Eight straight before handing the controls of the scoring machine over to Seth Doege.

Next up comes a trip north up to play Nebraska. The question here is who will be at the controls for that game? My expectation is it all goes back to Taylor Potts. Potts starts tonight if he isn’t out due to concussion and he should be the guy to start in Lincoln.

Yes, Sheffield had an incredible performance that showed no drop off from the play of Taylor Potts. OK, let’s be fair, he outplayed Potts when you look back at Taylor’s four starts this season. However, Potts is the annoited one, and Sheffield is there for some trusted insurance.

This could be a game that Tech badly needed. Leach knows he’s got two QBs he can count on to win games and the Tech defense is still playing at a level I haven’t seen from them in my three years of covering Tech.

Nebraska has the top scoring defense in the country, but based on what I’ve seen here tonight, that will be in serious jeopardy.

The leash on Potts got a whole lot shorter tonight thanks to the strong steady play of Sheffield. But, Nebraska is a much stronger team than Kansas State, New Mexico and Houston.

As a Nebraska alum, I will be taking off next week’s game. Rumor has it AJ editor Terry Greenberg will be pounding the keys on this blog for the Tech vs. NU game.

Until next week, enjoy the prep for the game in the AJ and on redraiders.com, and I’ll join you all again for the game against A & M.

Clock ticking, please, keep ticking.

Tech scored tonight from near and far, the only way Tech didn’t score tonight was via a special teams or defensive touchdown. The special teams were unremarkable tonight, the defense, unbelieveable.

Tech have more than 160 yards rushing tonight.

Marlon Williams got jacked on the play and left the field hurt, but other than that, it’s been smooth sailing for the Red Raiders tonight.

Sadly, there is still 7:33 left in the game tonight. The stadium is maybe 1/10 full. At this point, I don’t blame anyone for heading to the parking lots.

K-State now has 250 yards of total offense after having less than 70 yards total offense in the first half.

You just know the Tech D wants to keep its record clean tonight, remember, the only TD of the night was on the INT.

Tech scored on all eight possessions that Sheffield was in the game.

Once again, Sheffield’s final line is 33-41 for 490 yards, 7 TDs and an INT.

I’m going to throw out a guess and say he gets an extra helping of the post game meat loaf tonight.

Seth Doege is in the game and completes his first pass for 14 yards.

Sheffield will finish the night with seven TD passes and 490 yards passing. Just an incredible performance.

I say finish the night because Seth Doege is taking snaps on the sidelines and has the helmet on. This will be Doege’s first snap in a competitive game since his sophomore year in high school. Blown knees in consecutive years finished off his junior and senior years at Frenship High School.

I noticed that Doege’s first snap on the sidelines, he fumbled, you think he’s just a bit nervous?

Colt McCoy once again not exactly lighting up the scoreboard this evening.

Who is the leader for the Heisman?
