I'm sure most of you are familiar with The Solid Verbal podcast, if you aren't it is a high quality CFB podcast with multiple episodes per week.
they posted a week five reactions pod earlier today and were identifying some under the radar/hidden gem type teams and players, and at the 56:50/57 minute mark one of the hosts brings up Texas Tech...

I'm paraphrasing the conversation here, but feel free to skip to the 56:50/57 minute mark and hear them out...
4-1 record
3-of-4 wins – one score games
Defense: “dreadful”
99th in defensive success rate against the run
110th in defensive success rate against the pass
82nd in defensive points per drive allowed – does not include Abilene Christian (only includes FBS opponents)
Top 20 pass defense, in terms of ‘air yards per target’ – giving up 17 yards per successful drop back, which means teams are throwing short passes and the Tech defense is missing tackles (?)
This stat can be inflated by plays like the second half screen pass that went 70+ yards for a score, but the point remains in the sample size we have for this season through five games
133rd in tackle rate*
Offense:
Tech ‘super power’ is that they are all-time great ‘pain in the ass’ offense…
One of the best 3rd down offenses in the nation
112th in the percentage of times they get a 1st down on 1st or 2nd down
10th in 3rd down success rate – nearly half of these conversions are from 3rd & 7 or longer
Getting behind the chains and figuring out ways to extend drives…will not last forever, numbers will even out, but these numbers lend to more shootouts and close games for the remainder of the season
They suggest ‘taking a drink of something strong’ or ‘taking a puff of something’ to take off the edge before watching a Texas Tech game...

STORY: Kenny Perry happy to find a way to win in run game, special teams pres. by Prosper Energy Management

Transcript of relevant quotes from Perry this afternoon.
What'd you think of Tahj's effort on Saturday?
"He was definitely special Saturday. I mean, he's been special his whole career, but Saturday, you know, just some of the runs he had, his vision is unbelievable. He sees things that I definitely don't see, not that I should, but he, he hit some runs there that obviously was big from the standpoint it kept the clock moving and got us, got us in some field goal range a couple times. Just an unbelievable performance by him. He never ceases to amase me."
Do you have a player comp for Tahj, we talked to Joey and he said Leveon Bell, maybe...
"I kind of think he's a little bit like Marshawn Lynch, though, too. You know, because he's he just finds the creases and hits them, and then he's going to make the first guy miss. Marshawn Lynch was pretty good at that too. I think the other part of Tahj just out of the backfield, you know what he's doing, catching the ball too. He does some things, then goes his pass protections. Just, I mean, he made some plays the other day that weren't necessarily his guys, that he just saw and just, you know, one that he we hit coy for the touchdown. Same thing. Great, great blitz pickup. Behren had time to throw it to Coy. And you guys can see what Behren does when he has time."
Obviously Josh Kelly put the ball on the ground...
"Terrible. I mean, yeah, it sucks. I mean, he knows that. I know that everybody knows that, can't do that. You know you can't do that. He knows that, he felt bad. He's apologized to me twice, and I said, Josh, I know that's not what you meant to do, but you can't give it away. Fortunately our defense came through and held them to three points there instead of a touchdown. Because, you know, you just, you can't do that in games, definitely, any game, but big games that just don't turn the ball over on special teams. And, yeah, that irks me, but you know, you got to move on to you can't sit there and dwell on it. But, yeah, we addressed and we moved on."
"It was our own guy, chasing the guy. And you shouldn't, we shouldn't do that. You never chase a guy going, you know, back towards the returner. Because Josh made the guy miss, and we had a crease. I mean, he was just getting ready to hit the thing, and our own guy hit it out of his hand. But, you know, you still gotta protect the ball. But yeah, it was on the guy that did it."
How'd you feel about Jack's punt and him overall?
"Oh, great. I mean, he's, heck yeah, and make him drive 90 yards. Jack's been, he's been great at that. You know, Austin was the same way. Austin was great. But Jack's, you know, he's put a bunch of balls inside the 10 yard line for us so far. He works it quite a bit. But, you know, that situation late in the game, you know, make him drive 90 yards and then come up, you know, the other thing as big was they missed two field goals, and we made ours. So it's a big part of the game, you know, kicking. Field position, that's field position to me. Kicking, making kicks, making punts, all the stuff that goes with it. So I was happy that they missed and glad we made ours."
"Like I said, for me, it's awesome, just because he's a different tool that I have not ever had, because he's got so many different types of kicks that, you know, he can do. It creates a little problem for them. So, and I still don't even think you've seen the best of Jack, you know, just because he hasn't had very many opportunities, which is awesome, means our offense is moving the ball. We're not having to punt near as much. But there's some, there's some things out there where I think he can flip the field given the opportunity as well."
Your thoughts on Arizona?
"Yeah, good football team. The good thing is, we've played two physical football games, you know, which I me personally, I just think that this program, we have to get there. We got to learn to win physical football games. You know, that's the thing that I've been here for three years and just playing Tech over the years. That's where, you know, we've lacked. We've got to be able to get in a fight, you know, and win those win those fights. Our defense has knocked some guys out of games and our offense has come through and we needed them to punch some balls in the end zone. And, you know, we've won games ugly, you know? And that's what you want to do. I mean, I don't care how you do it. You got to learn to win games, you know. I know everybody wants to see us score 80 points and win 80 to I don't. I want to win games however. You got to win them, because there's going to be a lot of different games in different situations, you've got to find ways to win. And this football team right now is finding ways to win those games. And that's what I love about them."
