On Saturday, Texas Tech defeated Rice by 20 points, but the game was fought for the entire first half, with the Red Raiders taking the lead only a couple of minutes before the break.
With another flock of Owls coming to town on Tuesday, coach Beard wants to see a reaction from his team, as Florida Atlantic is a 6-4 team that’s imagined to be a bigger threat for his team.
He also discussed the Owls’ best players, Gerdarius Troutman and redshirt senior Ronald Delph, a 7-foot-0, 245 pounds center who’s probably the biggest players the Red Raiders have faced till now.
