Texas Tech is bi-polar. How can the Red Raiders lose, 42-27, to Mississippi, which lost to Alabama, 62-7, but beat Oklahoma State, 41-17? Maybe the Cowboys are overrated since they beat only Missouri State, Boise State and South Alabama. Not exactly something to toss your lasso and go yahoo! about.WVU beat a Tennessee team that was almost respectable against Florida, 47-21, but Youngstown and this year’s Kansas State, 35-6 loser to Grier and Gibby’s defense, doesn’t feel as wowy as in previous years.I can’t wait for noon Saturday watching TV on my Tallmadge, Ohio home couch to see what could be the offensive fireworks of the season in the Big 12 and maybe America.If you have a lot of spare time, you can read the rest of my homework. Old sportswriters never die, they just keep looking for an angle to keep from getting bored between games.Texas Techlost to Mississippi 47-27, which lost to Alabama (who doesn’t), but by 62-7.beat Houston, 63-49beat Lamar, 77-0beat Oklahoma State, 41-17West VirginiaBeat Tennessee, 40-14 after a 1.5-hour lightning delay at halftime.Beat Youngstown, 52-17 during an all-game rain.Lost to Hurricane Florence so North Carolina State game was canceled.Routed Kansas State, 35-6, not letting a Bill Snyder offense score any touchdowns.TennesseeLost to WVU, 40-14Beat Texas-El Paso, 24-0. Nothing impressive.Beat East Tennessee State, 59-3. Ho-hum.Lost to Florida, 47-21.  Not quite as bad as Tennessee losing to WVU, but close.YoungstownLost to Butler, 23-21.Beat Valparaiso, 42-7.  So what?Lost to WVU, 52-17. Bad mismatch.Kansas StateBarely beat South Dakota State, 27-24. Really?Lost to Mississippi State, 21-10.  At least it was fairly close, not like when K-State played WVU. But it’s the same Mississippi State that lost, 31-10, to Kentucky. Kentucky!Beat Texas-San Antonio, 41-17.  As it should.Lost to WVU, 35-6. Didn’t score a TD and Will Grier got to watch from the bench for nearly a full quarter.Lamar CardinalsBeat Kentucky Christian, 70-7Lost to Northwest State, 49-48Lost to Texas Tech, 77-0Lost to Southeast Louisina, 30-24Beating Lamar by any score isn’t impressive.Mississippi beat Texas Tech, 47-27lost to Alabama, 62-7beat Southern Illinois, 76-41beat Kent State, 38-17not impressive when you see the Alabama score.  I know it’s Alabama but you need to be competitive to impress me.HoustonBeat Rice, 45-27Lost to Texas Tech, 63-49Beat Arizona, 45-18Beat Texas Southern, 70-14Staying with Tech is impressive but not the other games.Oklahoma StateBeat Missouri State, 58-17Beat Boise State, 44-21Beat South Alabama, 55-13Lost to Texas Tech, 41-17Whipping the Cowboys is something to hang Tech’s hat on. Not so much the other games.</blockquote>
