BIG 12 South Conference - Texas Tech Red Raiders PreviewThe only team in the BIG 12 to have 11 straight winning seasons, are, in fact the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Head coach Mike Leach has lead this squad to their highest win total. Offense and Texas Tech have been synonymous ever since Coach Leach took over, but what's remarkable is that their defense is pretty solid as well, having only allowed a shade below 19 points per game this past year.Check out Bovada and start winning NOW!

Traditionally, quarter backs put into the Leach system have succeeded, and Harrell is expected to as well. The loss of Taurean Henderson and his receiving talents out of the backfield will hurt the ground game for the Red Raiders. Texas Tech has one of the best wide receiving units in NCAA football, with Filani, Hicks, Johnson and Amendola who collectively put up some amazing numbers last season. There is no reason they can't put up great numbers this year as well, especially with an offensive line that is better than average, by NCAA standards, blocking for them. Only 5 return from the defense but there are several important players coming back from injuries. The front seven look great but the secondary has lost several players from last seasons unit that permitted only 180 yards per game. No changes in the special teams and that should help their numbers. The Red Raiders are looking for their first BIG 12 Championship this coming 2006 season. They have lost some key players and their schedule is not easy, nonetheless, if they play well on the road, they can win 10 games and a championship. In a worst case scenario, they will probably be in a bowl game on New Years day. Are you ready for some betting on the NCAA? --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on September 01, 2006
