SMU at Texas Tech

It's been over 70 years since Texas Tech has started back-to-back seasons at 3-0, and they will undoubtedly do it here. This is Mike Leach's best team ever, thanks to a defense that last year began to gel as a unit. Believe it or not, high scoring Texas Tech led the Big-12 in defense over the last eight games of last year. Leach got back eight defensive starters from that team. Along with that defense returns 10 offensive starters from a team that beat SMU on the road last year by 40. The only time in the last five years Tech had to lay a 30+ on someone they won by 53. SMU only returns 13 starters from a bad team that got demolished last year and ended the season with a 1-11 record. These teams have met at Texas Tech twice in the last five years to a total score of Tech 95 SMU 13. That's an averge margine of victory of 41 points. This has another 40+ pounding written all over it, and I'll lay the wood on Tech here.
