Lubbock. So far out in West Texas that even other Texans won't drive there because there's no direct route with an interstate from anywhere but Amarillo. The city itself is slightly smaller than Cincinnati proper but outside of live music and food there's not much there. I was a little surprised that the Alumni Association was traveling there in addition to Colorado this year.
Anyway. Texas Tech Is also 3-1 and has a similar resume to UC's in that they beat their FCS opponent (barely in TTU's case), lost a non conference game that they probably shouldn't have, beat a local team from a smaller conference and won the Big XII opener at home. Where they are not similar is their ability to put up points. They still score in bunches like the Air Raid days of old.
Lots of short passing game stuff to the WRs as an extension of the running game going on. Behren Morton , the Jr. QB, has almost 1200 yards of passing but only a 7.2 yards per pass average. They have a very good running back in Tahj Brooks who is almost a change of pace player for the pass offense as they lean 2:1 pass/run.
This is the longest road trip of the season for the team and it will be a good road test for the Bearcats and give us a better idea of what the team is going to be like for the long haul this season.
If you're headed to Lubbock for the game watch out for flying tortillas in the stands. Not joking.
