Eyewitness observations from Saturday

First game I have ever sat in the stands at Jones stadium.  Ten years of watching came from sidelines or press box.  Observations.  Stadium is beautiful.  Fans in the South endzone are fabulous.  Nice touch to have Tech players move along endzone and shake hands with fans before the game during warmups.  Hate the wave, but seeing the "slow wave" was one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed at a sporting event.

Game observations.  Defense ran well and needs to keep it up.  Wall is a fine defensive back.  Crabtree is everything that he is cranked up to be.  Can you say a young Michael Irvin?  Will play on Sundays! Edward Britton is horrible.  His hands will rust in the rain but worse, he runs sorry routes and many times fails to run hard on his routes as if he knows he isn't getting the ball.  Speaking of that, the best thing Crabtree does is continuing to move after Harrell has to move with the ball.  That's why
Crabtree gets so many passes.....he continues to move and improvise and find open spaces for Harrell to find him.  Now to incur your wrath, Harrell is a nice quarterback but he throws from his back foot leaving the ball up for grab way tooooooo much.  A great defense will eat him up with his average arm.  I know its not gonna happen but Taylor Potts is a Sunday afternoon quarterback waiting to play on Sundays.  He has an incredible arm and throws the ball on the line.  If he got every snap you would not believe his performance.  He is a once in a decade talent so go ahead and revel in Harrell's success but know that every snap he takes is one less that Potts gets.  One day you will tell your friends that you knew Potts was the best to come out of Texas Tech in your lifetime. Leach knows it too because he plays Potts more than he ever did another "backup" quarterback. FREE TAYLOR POTTS and cheer for Crabtree because he is gone to the NFL after his junior year.  By the way, in last weeks blog, I predicted 75-0.  Sorry bout missing on NW La. total.
