Tech struggles beneath vanity
It seems like coach Kingsbury devotes his attention to Patrick Mahomes and his offense, before excusing himself when the possession goes to the opposition, fixing his quaffed hair and plucking his narrow and perfect eyebrows in the locker-room while DC David Gibbs struggles in vain.
With all the talk of Charlie Strong’s coaching career being executed — the city of Austin lurking in the background anxiously pressing an axe against the grindstone — there’s been barely a mumble about the fate of Kingsbury with the Red Raiders. The offense will always be stellar for Tech, but nothing has been done about their putrid defense — an issue that hasn’t been resolved in over a decade.
The fourth year coach’s record has been very mediocre, and is currently sitting beneath .500 at 23-24 career with Tech. I’m sure his tenure won’t last forever in Lubbock; some team will pick him up for his outstanding OC capabilities. Or Hollywood will come calling for his pretty face.

Mama, there goes that man.
Texas talent still in Ap-25
Despite being a controversial inclusion into the CFP last week, A&M dropped to No. 10, but still carries lofty bowl expectations. Baylor someone managed to cling to the No. 25 spot with cracked and bleeding paws, losing two consecutive and looking like a team without an identity.
Things don’t get easier for the Bears against a red hot Sooners team this weekend.

Texas graduates are aplenty in the most recent AP poll; Lake Travis grad Baker Mayfield has lead No. 9 Oklahoma to a six game win streak, carrying the team into a hopeful CFP selection as he did last season — the Sooners were victorious in seven consecutive before nabbing the fourth berth. No. 6 Ohio State and S.H. Rider graduate JT Barrett looks even better, drubbing former No. 10 Nebraska so terribly (62-3), the refs looked concerned as if the “mercy rule” could be administered to the massacre.

TCU running back saving season
Gary Patterson called running back Kyle Hicks the Horned Frogs’ best player. The senior currently ranks third in total rush yardage and second in rushing touchdowns — one shy from most (13) currently held by UT stud D’Onta Foreman. All the more impressive is Kenny Hill’s inclination as a dual threat to run the ball himself, currently averaging 41 yards per game.
Hicks’ five rushing touchdowns were the second-most in TCU history, equaling Tony Jeffery mark set against Tulane in 1986; the achievement trails only LaDainian Tomlinson, In which the San Diego Chargers vet had six against UTEP in 1999.
Hicks’ output capped 431 total yards rushing and 688 yards of total offense — both season-highs.

UTSA nearing bowl eligibility
The Roadrunners must be chuffed with the hiring of HOC Frank Wilson. As well as a highly regarded recruiting, the first year coach has lead UTSA to a 5-4 start; their best at this point in Conference USA.
After a mental collapse against lousy UTEP in five overtimes — in the Runners defense, everyone’s brains would be jelly at that point, especially when baking in the oven of a helmet — UTSA had embarked on a nice two-game streak, averaging 38 points and forcing nine turnovers in the span. San Antonio must win one of three remaining games to be bowl eligible — a feat that hasn’t been accomplished in the program’s history.
