Texas Tech
2007 SEASON IN REVIEW: The high-powered Red Raiders were at it again in 2007, picking up huge chunks of yardage and lighting up the scoreboard with what appeared to be very little effort. Texas Tech put up 40.9 ppg, relying almost exclusively on a passing attack that averaged a national-best 470.3 ypg. Coach Mike Leach's club shot out of the gate by winning six of its first seven games, including routs of both Iowa State and Texas A&M in Big 12 play. Losses in three of their next four however, brought the Red Raiders back to Earth. A 34-27 win over Oklahoma got the team back in a positive frame of mind as it finished the regular season 8-4, 4-4 in the Big 12. Tech was rewarded for a solid campaign with an invite to the Gator Bowl against ACC foe Virginia. The Red Raiders prevailed in that contest, 31-28, giving them wins in four of their last five bowl games. Tech hasn't won a league title of any kind in more than 50 years, and while 2008 could be the year the drought ends, plenty needs to go right for that to happen.
