Coming into their first game of the season, Texas Tech wanted to make a statement on both sides of the ball against an opponent that they should be able to take care of. They did just that as they won handily 63-10 and gained some momentum going into this week against Houston.
Krishon Merriweather lead the team in tackles with seven and Philip Blidi had a great coming out party with four tackles, three tackles for loss that included two sacks. He was one of those fringe guys that I said needed to step up in the defensive line preview, and he did just that.
