This game will be a fascinating watch in the trenches, as both team are built really well in that regard. Texas Tech has more dynamic ability on offense, but with RB LJ Martin returning to the lineup for BYU, they have a chance to neutralize that element of the Red Raiders game. This is a top 10 matchup that'll play out like a 12-round heavyweight fight because of what's at stake.
Curiously, the higher ranked team -- which also happens to be unbeaten SU -- is receiving double-digit points. Say what? BYU most assuredly doesn't have Texas Tech's flash; after all, its QB, Bear Bachmeier, wears 47 on his jersey. He produces and should have Big 12 rushing leader LJ Martin back after the TB missed one game wth an injury. The Cougars are as feisty as their QB, with seven covers in their last eight outings as underdogs. Their defense can curtail Tech's big-play potential and keep the margin in single figures.
