He\u2019ll be asked to maintain his poise on the road for the first time against a bitter rival.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect coach Leach to panic, he just reloads with the next capable chucker and always has a flock of talented pass-catchers that thrive in his system. Defense will be the greater concern against Texas, trying to stop McCoy from hogging the pigskin and scoring too many points. Overall, the Red Raiders are 12-7 ATS as road underdogs in Leach\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, this is the road opener for Texas Tech and they are 7-6 and 4-8-1 ATS as travelers. The home team has had the better of things of late in the head-to-head macthups, with an 8-3 ATS mark in the series.<\/p>\n<p>Dating back to 1993, the favorite is a mere 6-10 against the spread; nevertheless, the Longhorns are 8-2 ATS when the total is between 63.5 and 70. This week\u2019s total is 66.<\/p>\n<p>This primetime ABC matchup will be greeted by Sportsbook.com with more than the usual array of betting options.
