PiPress: Gophers football: 5 keys to beating Texas Tech

PREDICTION

The Gophers are facing the nation's second-best passing offense, led by Doege, who could reach the 4,000-yard and 40-touchdown passing marks on the season. Kill's pass defense ranks No. 11 in the nation and could use some interceptions from the likes of senior cornerbacks Troy Stoudermire and Michael Carter. But the defense won't be able to carry the Gophers long enough for the offense to get comfortable having Gray back at quarterback. Texas Tech 34-17.

PiPress: Gophers football: Linebackers inspired by memory of Gary Tinsley

"At the beginning of the year, we said we were going to do it for Gary," Rallis said Thursday. "It was definitely a moment I will never forget. We've dedicated this whole season to Gary. Everything that he meant to the guys on this team; we loved him. We loved the energy and spirit he brought to this team. I can't even say enough about what he meant to this team.

"The seniors, we've talked about how far we've come, what we've gone through and what we're going to do for Gary. It's been a long ride, but it's been a fun ride. We just want to go out the right way."

STrib: Gray hoping for dreamy end to career

Texas Tech's quarterback has had the season that MarQueis Gray wanted. But the senior intends to spoil his last game.

"I just want to end my college career with a win," Gray said. "It's my last game as a Golden Gopher. I just want to end it the right way."

STrib: The Call: Gophers vs. Texas Tech

PREDICTION

The time off to regroup and heal up will energize the Gophers, and some early successes -- a long run or two by Gray or Kirkwood, a surprise deep ball by Nelson -- could stun the two-touchdown-favorite Red Raiders. But when the defenses tire, Texas Tech's no-huddle offense should score a lot. Red Raiders 38, Gophers 30

STrib: Red Raiders fans expected out in full force

More than 60,000 fans could show up for Friday night's Meineke Car Care Bowl in Reliant Stadium, and Texas Tech left tackle LaAdrian Waddle is pretty sure of one thing: They won't be rooting for the Gophers.

"Oh yeah, our people are coming out. The alumni down here, the fans who are driving down, just all the Texans, we know they're here to support us," the All-Big 12 offensive lineman said. "We always get a little extra juice from the crowd. It really gets us going."

How many of Tech's regular season coaches will not be coaching tonight?
If their Offensive Line coach is the interim coach, then I'm assuming their OC and DC are both gone... is that an accurate assumption?
Thanks.
