FACTS & STATS: Site: Jack Trice Stadium (50,000) -- Ames, Iowa. Television:FCS. Home Record: TTU 1-1, ISU 2-0. Away Record: TTU 1-0, ISU 0-1. Neutral Record: TTU 0-0, ISU 0-1. Conference Record: TTU 0-1, ISU 0-1. Series Record: Texas Tech leads, 7-1.
GAME NOTES: The Texas Tech Red Raiders will try to bounce back from their first loss of the season, as they take on the Iowa State Cyclones in Big 12 play this weekend at Jack Trice Stadium.
The Raiders were idle this past weekend following a 24-14 home loss to then fourth-ranked Texas in their Big 12 opener on September 18th. It was TTU's first defeat under head coach Tommy Tuberville, whose club opened the campaign with wins over SMU (35-27) and New Mexico (52-17).
On the other side, the Cyclones took on instate foe Northern Iowa last weekend and blanked the FCS program by a 27-0 score. It marked ISU's first shutout since posting a 24-0 victory over Northern Iowa in 2004. The Cyclones are now a level 2-2, with one of their losses coming to Kansas State (27-20) in league play.
As for the all-time series, TTU has won seven of the eight prior meetings with ISU and that includes a 42-17 triumph in the last encounter in 2007.
The Raiders managed a mere 144 total yards of offense last game versus Texas, marking their lowest production since 1990. QB Taylor Potts simply could not get going, as he completed 21-of-35 pass attempts for 158 yards, with one TD against two INTs. It was obviously a tough game for Potts, who had thrown seven TDs with no picks in the first two games. Lyle Leong has clearly been his target of choice, as he leads the team with 20 receptions for 251 yards and six scores. That in includes a 34-yard, one TD performance against Texas. The Raiders though, need to be more than one dimensional if they are to improve, as they are averaging a mere 2.5 yards per carry this season. That simply won't get the job done over the long haul.
TTU has a talented defense that has really made some big plays, forcing 11 turnovers and recording 12 sacks in just three games. The unit has been especially tough against the run, limiting foes to just 99.7 ypg on the ground. The defense did its job versus Texas, surrendering only 320 total yards while coming up with four takeaways. Jarvis Phillips even scored for the defense, returning a pick 87 yards to paydirt. He finished with two INTs and now has four for the season. Brian Duncan had a sack and a TFL in the loss, as he leads the team in both departments with five sacks and six TFLs on the year.
Quarterback Austen Arnaud re-injured his shoulder early in last weekend's game and gave way to Jerome Tiller, who guided ISU to a victory over Northern Iowa. While Tiller didn't exactly light it up with only 87 passing yards on 11-of-22 attempts, he did avoid any turnovers, something that has plagued Arnaud in his three years as a starter. Arnaud is listed as questionable, so Tiller may just get the start anyway. If that is the case, expect ISU to lean heavily on RB Alexander Robinson, who has rushed for 301 yards and three scores. Robinson had 74 yards and a score on 15 carries last weekend and should see an even bigger increase in his touches against a much tougher opponent.
ISU turned in a terrific defensive performance last weekend, as the unit not only limited Northern Iowa to 320 total yards, but it also forced five turnovers. Two of those takeaways resulted in TDs, as A.J. Klein returned an INT 25 yards for a score, while Jeremy Reeves had a 94-yard return. It was the first time ISU had two defensive TDs in a game since facing Colorado in 2005. It was also the second straight game in which Klein returned an INT for a score. Klein even tops the defense, which is giving up just 143.8 passing ypg, with 41 stops.
With an extra week to prepare, the Raiders should have a good gameplan heading into this weekend and that will help them get past an ISU club that could have a QB controversy on its hands.
Texas Tech 30 Iowa State 17
Virginia Tech (2-2) at (23) NC State (4-0)
GAME NOTES: The Virginia Tech Hokies are starting to regain their swagger and they will try to continue their recent run by upsetting the 23rd-ranked NC State Wolfpack in ACC play this weekend at Carter-Finley Stadium.
The Hokies entered the season with their usual high expectations and a No. 10 ranking, but found themselves outside of the Top 25 after just a couple of weeks. A tough 33-30 loss to third-ranked Boise State to open the season wasn't the problem, it was a stunning 21-16 home loss to James Madison, a FCS program, the following week that raised a bunch of concerns. Tech though, responded with a 49-27 victory over East Carolina before posting a 19-0 shutout over Boston College last weekend in its ACC opener.
"Bud [Foster] and those guys are good at knowing what's going on," Tech head coach Frank Beamer said of his coordinator and defense. "They were good in the second half, but I thought they were good all day."
It marked the Hokies' first shutout in 45 games dating back to a 17-0 blanking of Virginia in 2006, as Tech appears ready to fulfill expectations.
NC State meanwhile, is enjoying a terrific start, as the program is 4-0 for the first time since opening the 2002 campaign with nine straight victories. The team most recently got its ACC schedule underway, coming away with a 45-28 victory over Georgia Tech last weekend.
"It certainly was a good day for us, and I'm very happy for our football team'" stated head coach Tom O'Brien. "Everybody contributed to what we wanted to get done. We couldn't have done this without a lot of effort on a lot of people's parts."
This is the 48th meeting between Virginia Tech and NC State in a series that dates back to 1900. The Hokies lead the series, 25-18-4, and that includes a 38-10 victory in Blacksburg last season.
Offensively, the Hokies did enough to beat BC last weekend, but the unit was average at best. Tech managed a modest 343 total yards and scored just one TD in four trips to the red zone.
"We didn't put up as many touchdowns as I would have liked," said QB Tyrod Taylor. "We didn't capitalize in the red zone."
Taylor though, displayed improved accuracy in the win, as he completed 16- of-21 tosses for 237 yards. A dual-threat typically, Taylor didn't rush for many yards last weekend, but he still leads the team with 201 for the season.
Speaking of the ground attack, which is averaging 180.2 ypg, it was minus starter Ryan Williams last weekend. Williams, who has a team-high three rushing TDs, was out with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for this weekend. David Wilson and Darren Evans shared the load in relief of Williams and they combined for 97 yards and a score.
Tech's defense was obviously impressive last weekend, holding BC to just 250 total yards in a shutout effort. The Hokies have now gone five straight quarters without allowing a score, as this young defense appears to be coming together.
"I honestly think we're starting to come around as a defense," said end Steven Friday, who had a nice game with two sacks, two tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles. "If we play our game from this point out, I think we'll be fine."
The Hokies added three takeaways and six sacks to their performance. They had just six sacks in the first three games combined. Bruce Taylor and Friday did most of the damage with two sacks and three TFLs apiece. Friday tops the roster with four sacks for the year, while Taylor has three sacks, to go with team highs of 32 stops and 9.5 TFLs.
QB Russell Wilson threw for a career-best 368 yards and three TDs, as NC State gained 527 total yards in a victory over Georgia Tech last weekend. He also added a TD on the ground.
"We talked about it the day he got back to school, what his goals and aspirations are, and we got together and worked it out. And I think it showed. A week ago on Thursday night and again today, and that's the Russell we're used to seeing. He's going to continue to get a lot better," said O'Brien.
It was certainly another strong performance for Wilson, who is averaging 278.0 passing ypg, with 11 TDs against just one INT.
Wilson has also done a nice job of spreading the wealth, as five players have caught double-digit passes thus far. The backfield even has a couple of nice options in Mustafa Greene and Dean Haynes, who have rushed for 242 and 213 yards, respectively. Though they are inconsistent at times, the duo showed up last weekend and combined for 143 yards and a score in the win over GT.
Facing an option attack is never easy, so holding Georgia Tech to 247 rushing yards was somewhat of a solid effort from the NC State defense last weekend.
"To keep them under 250 yards rushing is a great day," stated O'Brien.
Even with those yards allowed, NC State still only giving up 125.8 ypg on the ground this season and opponents are averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. The Wolfpack have also come up with nine takeaways and 14 sacks, as the unit has more than held its own. Nate Irving, who missed all of last season with injuries following a car accident, appeared back to form last game, finishing with 16 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and two sacks. It was a remarkable performance by Irving, who now tops the club with 26 stops for the year.
Virginia Tech has regained its confidence, but now runs into a red-hot NC State squad. With the support of their home crowd and another big game from Wilson, expect the Wolfpack to pull out the win this weekend.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 2nd, 12:00 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Floyd Casey Stadium (50,000) -- Waco, Texas. Television: FSN. Home Record: Kansas 2-1, Baylor 2-0. Away Record: Kansas 0-1, Baylor 1-1. Neutral Record: Kansas 0-0, Baylor 0-0. Conference Record: Kansas 0-0, Baylor 0-0. Series Record: Baylor leads, 5-4.
GAME NOTES: The Kansas Jayhawks aim for a victory in their Big 12 Conference opener for a fourth straight season, as they head to Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco to take on the Baylor Bears.
Kansas finally got its offense going in last weekend's 42-16 win over New Mexico State. The Jayhawks have been a Jekyll-and-Hyde team thus far, having lost to North Dakota State and Southern Miss, and beating 15th-ranked Georgia Tech. Following this tilt, KU returns home for its next two games.
Baylor rebounded from a lopsided loss at fifth-ranked TCU by knocking off Rice last weekend, 30-13. The Bears have won only three league openers since joining the Big 12. They are 2-0 at home after opening the season with wins over Sam Houston State and Buffalo.
Baylor has a 5-4 edge over Kansas in the head-to-head series, and four of those wins have come in Waco.
Kansas enters this tilt ranked 82nd in the nation in both total offense (347 ypg) and scoring offense (22.2 ppg). If it weren't for last week's 42-point outburst against New Mexico State, the Jayhawks would be even closer to the bottom of the barrel in both categories. The Jayhawks posted a season-best 501 yards against NMSU, and that total also included a season-high 237 rushing yards. James Sims ran for 115 yards and two TDs on 16 carries, while all- purpose back D.J. Beshears had three total touchdowns (two rushing, one return). Redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan Webb threw for a season-high 249 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-17 accuracy.
The Kansas defense has also seemingly showed up with a different unit from week to week. Two weeks ago, the Jayhawks couldn't contain Southern Miss in a 31-16 loss. Last week, they put the clamps on NMSU, allowing just 275 total yards and 16 points. One area that has been fairly consistent is the pass defense. The Jayhawks enter this week ranked fifth in the nation in pass defense with an average of only 128.5 yards per game allowed through the air. It warrants noting that Kansas hasn't faced a litany of offensive powerhouses, and although the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were nationally ranked at the time, they also run an option-based offense.
Baylor's matchup with Rice last week was suspended for an hour in the second quarter due to thunderstorms in the area. Somehow that stoppage seemed to light a fire under the Bears, who scored on each of their last three first- half possessions after play resumed and took a 20-3 lead into the break. Robert Griffin passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns, as Baylor out-gained Rice, 456-296 in total yards. Kendall Wright finished with seven catches for 106 yards and a touchdown. On the season, Griffin is completing 59.1 percent of his passes while averaging 242.8 passing yards per game. He has thrown eight touchdowns and only two interceptions, and he has also scored three times on the ground.
Defensively, Baylor held Rice to just 296 total yards. The Owls managed just 2.9 yards per carry as a team, while quarterback Nick Fanuzzi averaged only 5.4 yards per attempt passing. He was also intercepted twice and sacked three times by the Baylor defense. The Bears currently rank 19th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (105.05), although opposing QBs are completing a high percentage of passes against them. Fanuzzi made good on 27-of-38 attempts (71 percent) for 201 yards last week. A week earlier, TCU signal-caller Andy Dalton completed a ridiculous 21-of-23 (91 percent) passes for 267 yards and two scores. Kansas' Webb doesn't have gaudy statistics as a redshirt freshman, but the Bears don't want him to get comfortable in the pocket. Look for BU defensive coordinator Brian Norwood to mix up different looks to try and confuse Webb into some errant throws.
If the first four weeks of the season are any indication, Kansas is due for a clunker after routing New Mexico State a week ago. The Jayhawks have yet to beat Baylor in Waco in the series, and that trend is likely to continue.
