Week 5: Texas Tech at Iowa State Prediction

After a long two weeks, we're back in action! Sorry about the lack of prediction for the Tech - New Mexico game, but let's be real, did we expect anything other than the final result? This week, Tech takes on Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Here's what NCAA thinks is going to happen:

                             Texas Tech      Iowa State     
Final Score:                 52                    38
Total Offense:            481                  432
Rushing Yards:            83                  141
Passing Yards:           398                  291
Third Down Conv:    9-13                 7-15
Turnovers:                    5                      4

Texas Tech wins this one in ugly fashion. Tech QB Seth Doege goes 24-39 passing for 398 yards, with 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. RB Eric Stephens had 8 carries for 33 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Kenny Williams added 4 carries for 24 yards and a score.

Tech wideout, Eric Ward, had a monster game, hauling in 9 catches for 215 yards, including a 69 yard touchdown catch. Bradley Marquez had 5 catches for 75 yards and a touchdown, Darrin Moore had 4 catches for 40 yards, and Javon Bell added 3 catches for 39 yards and a score.

Tech's defense employed a bend but not break strategy. Linebackers Will Smith and Terrance Bullitt, as well as cornerback Cornelius Douglas, all had interceptions. Bullitt also forced and recovered a fumble, giving Iowa State 4 turnovers. Like I said, Tech wins, but it ain't pretty. Guns up!
