Texas Tech vs Houston Prediction
Texas Tech has looked fantastic through 4 games with an offense and defense that’s top-10 in scoring. Up to this point, Texas Tech looks like a playoff team. However, let’s pump the brakes just a bit, as Houston has held its own as well, and while the offense has a ways to go, this is a legit defense that sets the tone with its physicality. Weigman is also playing at a high level, and you know he’ll be up for this one, as the Texas A&M transfer gets a chance to stick it to another Texas school. I get Texas Tech is rolling and has had an extra week to prepare, but I’m grabbing the points with Houston in what should be a fun game.
