TOMMY TUBERVILLE ERA BEGINS AT HOME AGAINST SMU Since his hiring on Jan. 10, 2010, the Texas Tech faithful have been looking forward to this date. After nine months of intense speculation and chatter, first-year head coach Tommy Tuberville and his coaching staff will debut the first Red Raider squad of their tenure on Sunday afternoon in front of a national television audience against SMU. Sunday’s game against the Mustangs will be televised nationally on ESPN with Mark Jones, Bob Davie and Holly Rowe calling the action. A live national radio broadcast will also be available through Compass Radio Networks. Texas Tech enters 2010 with high expectations after earning yet another bowl victory back on January 2 of this year in the Valero Alamo Bowl.

0-0 0-0 L3 TECH DEFEATS MICHIGAN STATE IN THE ALAMO BOWL Colorado 0-0 0-0 W1 SAN ANTONIO (AP)--No questions about Mike Leach. Those were the Iowa State 0-0 0-0 L7 ground rules Texas Tech quarterback Steven Sheffield laid down Satur- Kansas 0-0 0-0 L2 day night after saving the day in a thrilling Alamo Bowl victory that his Kansas State 0-0 0-0 L1 fired head coach would’ve loved. With everyone still talking about Leach - Missouri 0-0 0-0 W1 and who can blame them? - the Red Raiders blocked out the distractions Nebraska and rallied to beat Michigan State 41-31. No bowl teams in the country kicked off with more upheaval than Texas Tech and Michigan State (6-7). Leach’s firing did Michigan State the favor of drawing attention from its own black eye: 14 players who didn’t make the trip in the wake of a Nov. 22 dormitory brawl. Nine Michigan State players face charges of misdemeanor assault. But the short-handed Spartans held their own.They took a 28-27 lead into the fourth quarter, and appeared to get a break when Tech quarterback Taylor Potts left the game after injuring his non-throwing hand. He left with an Alamo Bowl-record 372 yards and two touchdowns. But this was still a Leach-built team. And in his offense, quarterbacks thrive. With Tech down 31-27, Sheffield marched the Red Raiders downfield in eight plays, the last an 11-yard touchdown pass to Detron Lewis. Baron Batch tacked on a 25-yard touchdown run to put it away.
