Keeping You Busy. This is the worst time of the year. I mentioned this before that as Texas Tech fans, we are lucky that we had baseball and then we sorta had the World Cup to distract us. Now, we really only have about a month before football practice starts. I'm normally killing 2 months this time of year. #blessed And keep coming back through the weekend. I'm not sure what I'll do, but if anything comes up, I'll be posting. To help in this process, I'm going to try to post previews for the SB Nation previews that Bill Connelly has completed thus far:

Top Underclassman Heisman Candidates. Our very own QB Davis Webb made a list of top underclassmen Heisman candidates:
7. Davis Webb, QB, Texas Tech, Soph. - Quarterbacks that put up gaudy statistics are often mentioned in Heisman conversations, and Webb and the Red Raiders offense will rack up yards and score points. Webb went 226-of-361 for 2,718 yards with 20 passing touchdowns and nine interceptions and a 139.1 passing efficiency in 10 games (six starts) last season. In one stretch he had at least 30 completions in five consecutive games. Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has raved about Webb this offseason, so expect him to be slinging the ball all over the field this fall.
Now We Get the Politicians. Again, trying to keep our standard rule, but with the trail concluding last week between O 'Bannon vs. the NCAA, we now have Congress wanting a hearing with the NCAA. This will be incredibly entertaining.
