    who here isn't buying the Kliff Kingsbury and Texas Tech hype?

    I know he he was O Cord of A&M last year but lets be honest, the players make it happen. and Manziel got this guy this job.

    I know Tech is loaded at skill positions BUT their starting QB is out and they will be rotation quarterbacks, which is never a good thing, so it doesn't matter if you have skill players if you can't get the ball to them.

    meanwhile SMU is returning 11 starters 6 on offense, this is gonna be the year Garret Gilbert puts up monster numbers in June Jones offense and return 5 on a defense, that had 37 take aways last year (3rd in the nation)

    play SMU +4.5 and SMU TT OVER 28

    only 11 starters back is worrying, BUT the coaching advantage is great. I like kliff but he hasn't had enough time IMO

    No way in hell I would back Tech here.

    They should be battling Iowa State for second worst team in the league...

    Tech puts up 40+

    Tech hype? LoL. This is a middle of the road Big 12 team that will probably slip into some POS bowl game. Best case scenario is they resemble the Leach teams of yesteryear in that they run up the score while giving up 30-40 per game.

    Exactly.

    I lean SMU and under. I'm not betting it and guess I'll root for Tech but I don't think they're going to be any good this year.

    Total seems like a crapshoot to me. Who knows what style Kliff will go with. Will he go uptempo with the true freshman walkon QB? I wouldn't think so but who knows

    SMU also has home field advantage and the coaching advantage for whatever that's worth.

    Homefield not worth much....more TT grads in DFW than Texas or A&M believe it or not. Its still better than playing in Lubbock. I'll take SMU +180 all day considering QB and coaching experience....esp since Gilbert was a Texas recruit and this walk-on kid at TT was barely offered anything by anyone. SMU returns a better secondary too which is everything with the ball going up 80+ times tonite.

    better secondary, older QB, home field advantage, and more experienced coach goes to SMU........

    A little too much for my bankroll this early but I couldn't stand it if SMU loses by a fg or something....had to get some +4.5 with my +180

    Kid looked pretty good for TT.....dropped pass saved 4 points. SMU decided to lay back though and only rush 3.....sure they'll bring more pressure

    I wasn't suggesting they were going to be some kind of contender for the Big12 or anything. just meant for this game and all the pre season talk about Kingsbury when he got the job and how good he was going to be, how he was going to turn this program around blah blah blah, which maybe he will, just too soon. not tonight.

    this is so retarded. only rushing 3 every time. like I said in my original post. you can have all the talent in the world at the skill player positions but if you have no one to get to them the ball, they can't hurt you.

    apparently June Jones doesn't know this.

    Well you don't want to get caught where a quick little WR jukes 1 dude and takes it 75. They're trying to make the true freshman make plays all the way down the field. They'll starting bringing more....they just need to stop these damn personal fouls.

    Where are all the people that were hating on this walk-on QB on this forum? Kid is looking like a stud against this SMU defense.

    They're going to give up a TD here so they might as well rip a key opponent's ACL if they can.
