The Red Raiders have had trouble findning a balanced rushing attack and that has hurt them in past games. The leading receivers are Tim Barker , Derek Dorris and Carlos Francis . Ricky Williams is back from injury to lead the ground assault. Defensive tackles Casey Hampton, Shaun Rogers and Cory Redding anchor this unit. Linebacker John Norman and defensive end Aaron Hunt are the leaders on this team.
Tech is quick and likes to hit hard.
Strong Safety Kevin Curtis will be certainly used down the stretch. Victor Ike leads the Big 12 in kickoff returns, while Hodges Mitchell is in the Top 10 in punt returns. Chris Birkholz is the kicker. Wes Welker was the player of the week for Oct. 28. Give Applewhite the nod and open up the attack.
