<\/a>Now that Ball State’s Dante Love is unfortunately down for the season, is there a hotter receiver in the country than Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree? Yes! It’s Freeman’s favorite target, Brandon Banks, who not only leads the nation in yards per game, but also in average yards per catch (21). And for a Wildcat offense that was lacking balance, hope arrived in the form of Lamark Brown, who was moved from wide receiver to running back and had 137 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette.<\/p>\nWhat we’re saying is that there is artillery to draw from, and infrastructure as well, as KSU made a number of key additions out of the junior college ranks. Texas Tech is rated seventh by the AP and eighth in the coaches’ poll, but we wonder whether these Raiders, who have not been really tested yet, are as good as that ranking, even though Mike Leach figures this is the best defense he’s had since he’s been in Lubbock.<\/p>\n
Guess what? We think K-State can trade blows here. It will be a scoring fest, but with the discovery of the run, and the yeoman’s work from the offensive line (no sacks allowed), Freeman gets to do some business. We’ll grab the points with Kansas State, the 7.5-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA college football betting odds.<\/p>\n
