Urban Meyer's Bold Claim: Texas Tech Could Dominate the SEC
Texas Tech, a team that has been making waves this season, is currently ranked No. 9 in the AP Top 25 poll after a 5-0 start. The Red Raiders have been on a winning streak, and their performance has caught the eye of former Ohio State and Florida coach Urban Meyer. In a bold statement, Meyer claims that Texas Tech could compete in the SEC and even do well.
"I think they're certainly a playoff team," Meyer said, praising the team's offensive prowess and defensive strength. The Red Raiders are leading the conference in scoring at 48.6 points per game, and their defense has been equally impressive, allowing no more than one touchdown in their conference matchups. With a strong quarterback, Behren Morton, and a dynamic duo of running backs, Cameron Dickey and J'Koby Williams, Texas Tech's offense is lighting up the scoreboard.
But what's even more intriguing is the team's potential in a different conference. Meyer's claim is surprising, considering Texas Tech's history of struggling to win more than eight games in a season. However, this year's squad has a different feel, with a balanced attack and a disruptive defense.
The Red Raiders will face a challenging schedule ahead, including a home game against Kansas and a road trip to No. 21 Arizona State. They will also play BYU, the only other undefeated team in the Big 12, on November 8. Despite these upcoming challenges, Texas Tech's current form and Meyer's endorsement make it an exciting prospect to watch in the coming weeks.
