Texas Tech, please don't waste this killer offense
Texas Tech almost had the best offense in the country, but on two occasions the Red Raiders scored 50 points and lost because of a miserable defense. Can Kliff Kingsbury figure out how to play defense before his time in Lubbock runs out?

Kansas will probably win a game this year!
