00:00But BYU, Texas Tech, they're probably on track to play each other
00:05in the Big 12 Championship anyway.
00:07But what gives a double-digit favorite for Texas Tech this week?
00:12Yeah, I tell you, you know, this is a big game in Lubbock this weekend.
00:16Obviously, ESPN game day there for the first time since 2008.
00:20I love both these teams, and I certainly respect what BYU's done
00:24with their true freshman quarterback, Bear Bachmeier.
00:27Just a breath of fresh air in the college game.
00:30He doesn't slide.
00:32He likes to not only take contact, he likes to initiate it.
00:36Wears number 47, just done a great job since their expected starter,
00:41Jake Retzloff, withdrew from school in the summer rather than face a suspension
00:46over supposed violations of the school's honor code.
00:49So, man, Bachmeier's been one of the stories of college football.
00:52And I love Bachmeier.
00:53I love BYU, but I like Texas Tech even more, Joe.
00:57This is a team that if they bring their A game, I think their A game is better
01:02than BYU's, and they're getting healthy.
01:04Bayron Morton, their starting quarterback, who's had injury issues
01:07throughout his career.
01:08He returned last week, took Texas Tech into Manhattan, Kansas.
01:13They handled Kansas State relative ease, 43 to 20.
01:16And not only did Morton return, this didn't get as much notoriety or coverage,
01:22but they're tied in.
01:23Terrence Carter Jr., 6'2", 248.
01:26This is a guy they list as tied in, but he can go out wide, kind of a hybrid type,
01:32causes matchup problems.
01:34He's just a big part of their offense.
01:36We saw Texas Tech's A game back in September in Salt Lake City when they dismantled the
01:41Utes, 34 to 10.
01:42I think Tech's bringing the kitchen sink again on Saturday.
01:46I like Tech by about two touchdowns over undefeated BYU.
