I think the Red Raiders come out with a slow start on offense yet again. However, I'm expecting some backup players to really step-up and clinch this one for Texas Tech. I believe Jett Duffey will lead the offense one more time before Bowman returns. Then again, something is telling me not to be surprised if Bowman trots out and has a field day. The Jayhawks will score their lone touchdown in the first quarter followed by two field goals in the second before the defense continues to shutdown opponents in the second half.

This is not the same old sad Kansas team...on the defensive side of the ball. The Jayhawks have struggled on offense, but do have a true freshman capable of the home run play. Outside of that, I expect the Tech defense to play well at home and force turnovers inside of The Jones. The Tech offense runs the ball well and gets the victory.

This isn’t going to be a great game to watch if you’re a Jayhawks fan. With all of the shakeups on Kansas’ offense, and the only two wins in your season being against Central Michigan and Rutgers, there’s not much going for Kansas football. Texas Tech is riding off a close win against TCU in which the defense played on a high level all four quarters. Kansas does not have an offense that could fight well against Tech’s defense. It’s going to be a slaughter house to say the least. The Jayhawks just have nothing going to make me say this is going to be a close game. It is a great opportunity for Kliff to see some of his second or third string players and how they do, similar to the Lamar game. Might be able to see McLane Carter play some if he’s healthy. Could see the "Heisman hopeful" Colt Garrett as well. A lot of things can happen except for a Kansas win.

Texas Tech is coming off a big win and a win against Kansas this week could certainly put them in a position to win eight games. While the Jayhawks are better defensively, they are still very inefficient offensively, costing Doug Meacham his job. Tech will still need to come out fired up and ready, but they should pull away by at least the middle of the third quarter. Jett Duffey starts again and builds on his performance from last week.

This shouldn’t really be a game. Kansas has an okay defense, but their offense has been so bad they fired their OC Doug Meacham. On Tech’s end I don’t think it matters much which QB they trot out there, they should be able to consistently move the ball at home. I expect a big rushing day for the offense and the defense to force a few turnovers. Tech by 31.
@Kolt Rogers - Tech 38 Kansas 17
This is a game that Tech should win easily, but I do see the Jayhawks making it interesting early on. Kansas has improved on the defensive side of the ball and Pooka Williams is a young up-and-comer at running back. Tech runs away with it in the second half and sets up an interesting meeting with Iowa State in Ames next week.
