Highlight Reels
If you’re into this sort of thing, here are some YouTube highlights of solid returning players for 2008. All the videos are pretty cool, but my personal favorites are Maclin and Murray, who has a superb kick return against Tulsa around the 2 minute mark.
I Declare Harrell Number One
If there’s a year to take Graham Harrell first overall, this is it. Take a look at the highlights of their schedule:
- Eastern Washington - Next to last in FBS total passing yards given up last season with 3206.
- SMU - Third from last in FBS last season allowing an astonishing 301.4 yards per game. Harrell threw for 414 and 4 tds in this game last year and running for another score.
- Massachusetts - Respectable FBS passing defense, but that doesn’t usually matter against Tech. They’ve outscored their last 4 FBS schools by an average of 61 ppg.
- Oklahoma St - Porous pass defense last season gave up 292.8 ypg. Tech hanging 646 yds on them didn’t help.
Take that info and combine it with being Harrell’s 3rd year as a starter, Florida’s commitment to finding a running game aside from Tebow, and Crabtree’s 2nd half dip in numbers without much change in Texas Tech’s passing production. Draft and enjoy.
