You know I think our players. No. Well enough if they watch college football that certain things happen. On Saturday if you watched him have felt some things happen on Sunday that. And you know everybody has a chance to win. Every game I mean so you better be prepared and ready to go and there will treat this game actually no different than any of the game on our schedule.

And welcome back the big twelve showcase John riding in here is Texas and am coach Mike Sherman says. His Aggies will not overlook the one on one Idaho vandals is to nationally ranked opponents will follow for the Yankees in Oklahoma State. And Arkansas. Let's not bring Gary reasons and Wendell -- Haas back into the discussed in Texas a and M comes off a bye week. After beginning the year with a win over SMU Gary besides a monster performance by Tony Jerod Eddie that -- earned him big twelve defensive player of the week honors lots of people's felt that the Aggies. At a conservative game plan and no one really -- where do you think the Aggies need to. Polish things up a little bit before facing --

They can move one thing they like to get this ball game was perhaps a shutout could be a good opportunity for them to play well defense we met at 34 defense to their running in the second year I think they've made some strides there. The Aggies played a very complete game against a talented as a new team and open a couple weeks they're winning 46 the fourteenth. The key thing there they did not had any turnovers so Aggies defense all offense actually ranked 32 full Lofton going into week three and fiftieth in total defense although they are number one sex and never nine tackles for loss. So you talked about Tony Jerod Eddie we have three sacks in a ball can go along with a couple of weeks actually -- And quarterback Ryan ten you know he's been superb eight point 8% completion percentage. And he's got a running back to one as well -- run backs Robert Blake eight straight 100 yard rushing campaign 133 yards on 21 carries. Not that the Texas a M staff didn't. The match and -- fourth one of the best receivers in the country so this should be one for taxes and roll.

Think there's that Iowa leading into Darius one of those -- states Texas and haven't Idaho is like. The Missouri western Illinois game and it's available on -- SN papers you just check with your local cable or satellite operator for more information on how you. Might be able to order that game. As for those Missouri Tigers they come awful painful loss against Arizona State last Friday. Losing in overtime the feeling from some resume fans was that the Tigers lost the game but gained a quarterback is James Franklin. Made some strides head coach Gary Nicol addressed that at his news conference on Monday.

He He matured a little bit you know hasn't arrived at least you can be a lot better which saw. -- told -- week ago. Then you know expressions on your face we're very good. Then. Now now is there a few more smiles after the game it he's he's very talented guy very poised. And they also I think I've mentioned before he's got. He's got his personality as his quarterback and He can. And He can do what He does to me destiny you know we don't. Its capability it and then be able to extend plays those kind of things you know you coach a little bit as a lot to do just type of athlete -- deal.

And -- a lot of it was the Kansas City Star the first set Missouri may have lost the game but they may have gained a quarterback and something's James Franklin did a lot of growing up in that contest what's your take on the Tigers. Heading into this week out you know Franklin really show a lot of improvement on game -- game I'm not a coach so. I can count moral victories nice.

With the loss to Arizona State was -- assures the game they would issue of the for the wind but the jury was down a few touchdowns and leadership could have pulled up like it. -- feel lawn furniture -- Franklin in this game He threw with authority that's something He didn't do -- open. -- the defense didn't cover they didn't pressure the -- you that it. If they really -- they give up a lot of yards but I think that's the one game aberration. The biggest concern I've got the Tigers. Could really get hit by the injury about it seventh starter since that Arizona State -- get some guys healthy this week for them one running back.

And so I mean we've been getting getting these guys healthy we sent one of those seven guys gonna miss the entire season but right now they're dealing with some injury issues. And Texas Tech faces a very familiar nonconference opponent New Mexico this Saturday at the lobos -- to out of Mountain West Conference including a home loss. To Colorado State -- Texas Tech will make its first appearance on television this week with lots of people saying the red Raiders. For the first time this year what should we be looking for out of them this weekend. -- John this is their first option to play on the road and you know just those things always kind of creep up in the with a worry football coach so. Two weeks ago the red Raiders did a pretty good job and fifty to ten win over Texas State few players.

One thing is that they -- the new quarterback here He was point two of 33 in the ball game three touchdowns over 300 yards passing for used to seeing from Texas Tech quarterback. Wide receiver Darren -- He showed up big time -- catches the football game. Maybe that's a big favorite target running back Eric Stephens point one carries and eighteen yards. And a couple scores so they've got the offense going -- the red raider defense. We need to get better this year they turned up in the second half against Texas statement ballgame. On December performance this week had a second half shut out no points scored six. --

They also recovered four fumbles so pretty good effort on by the red Raiders defensively they keep it up this weekend via a good good opportunity for them to build this football team. And another one talk about -- against K state no way I guess when the Kansas State against Penn State what are you looking for when the wildcats are coming off a week off in their opener they really struggle offensively --

You've got to show that they got that off and we'll put back on track we've got to open up the playbook a little bit and you know for more than ten points. Now the defense really looked pretty solid in that first games I don't believe it -- there. And I think offensively they continue to build particularly with three new starters on the offensive line I think he'll be okay. This game I think you need to really look to see how big games the offense.
