... Texas Tech's offense got off to a surprisingly slow start but turned things on late in the first quarter in a big way. The team's first three offensive drives totaled all of 22 yards on nine plays. The next four drives spanned 298 yards on 18 plays.
... Desmond Nisby is the team's best running back by a mile.
... I'm actually pretty impressed by the defense's first-half performance. This Eastern Washington team has put up 42-plus points on its last four Power Five opponents -- averaging a shade over 26 first-half points in those four contests -- and the Red Raiders have held them to just 10 so far.
... The offensive line has had some shaky moments, especially early in the game, but I'm willing to chalk a lot of that up to Travis Bruffy's absence and the fact that you've got two newcomers making their college debut today.
... Gage Gabrud is the best quarterback the Red Raiders will face in the non-conference and is probably one of the five or six best they'll play all season. He's impressed me. This would be more of a game were it not for a couple-few drops by EWU receivers.
