Unt Football Needs To Bring The “mean” Back To Mean Green

[MeanGreen61]

Since when did Texas Tech start playing good defense?

Tech gave up an average of 25.9 ppg while scoring 40.9 for a 9-4 record. I'll take it !

really?? beats the hell out of what we had last year.... they BEAT OU....... they're not that bad.

We should be much improved this year. Worth at least 3 additional wins, IMHO.

You are right, this defense will be much improved from last year, and should be work at least an additional 3 wins, which I will take. I suppose I read the post wrong - when I think of spread type offenses and the defenses that are associated with that team, I don't think of Tech as being very good.

Exactly.

Who said we need an elite defense to win? We just need one more point than the opponent.

They were the third rated defense in the Big XII last year and were very young. They are expected to have the best defense in their conference this year.

Well I suppose they started playing good defense last year. I still don't think of them being a good defensive team. I guess time will change my mind if they continue to be and get better on the defensive side of the ball.

Yeah, and if we can score like 62 points a game, we'll never lose. Err.....

Ron Mendoza thinks that is crazy talk.
