Who will try and watch the Liberty Bowl today? I will watch as much as I can. I want to see as what Tech does against MSU. I am curious as to how KP handles the game, or even how much his involvement is. The Tech coaching situation in general seems to be really up in the air, so I am not sure what to expect out of either coaches or players. I was just trying to get a feel and pulled up the below article. athlonsports.com/college-football/liberty-bowl-texas-tech-red-raiders-vs-mississippi-state-bulldogs-prediction-picks-2021 It seemed like the loss of the top WRs for Tech and the coaching situation sealed the fate for Tech in the minds of the author. The below was interesting. Is Cumbie helping to coach during the game or is he already gone and KP will have sole HC reins during the game? The author has the game MSU 52 & Tech 28. "For this Liberty Bowl, Tech will have five coaches who are immediately heading elsewhere after the game. Cumbie will be joined at Louisiana Tech with current assistant Jake Brown, Keith Patterson will take over as head coach at FCS Abiliene Christian, Derek Jones is heading for an assistant position at Virginia Tech and Joel Filani is heading to Washington State. Essentially, this bowl situation for the coaches is a hot mess."

Anyone hear Leach's comments yesterday? He is still trying to get paid from when, in his mind, he was wrongfully terminated. He went off on the leadership of Texas Tech.

I didn't listen to them, but read them in an article. Somehow it didn't surprise me.

So far Tech is up 7 in the 1st and back in the red zone. They are playing up tempo. I just got home though, so haven't seen the defense.
**MSU holds them for a FG, so now 10-0. Will see if the defense holds up. Obviously, they have held MSU from scoring so far. **

Settled in a little bit on both sides and not a lot of scoring in the 2nd. MSU scores early in the 2nd on their extended drive at the end of the 1st. Tech finally scores 3 at the end of the 2nd" 13- 7 at the half. It was good to hear ACU being mentioned.

I'd say KP's defense performed admirably in the 1st half vs a prolific passing offense.

KP’s defense sure has looked good tonight.

This defense is exciting to watch. If he can recruit, we could have a fun defense maybe

Agree the Tech defense has stepped up to the plate, as well as their offense. Again, I heard Abilene Christian mentioned. That won't make us win games, but it's good coverage for us. Tech is up 34-7 now. Hopefully they can finish this out. They just recovered a fumble, so they are still fighting strong. I like that.

As a Tech fan I was always iffy on KP, but once Wells got fired, his defense did start to change for the better. It does make me wonder what holds Matt Wells had on defensive adjustments and playcalling because the defensive intensity post Wells is vastly different.

It is nice getting our name thrown out there on a nationally televised bowl game. And with how good KP’s defense has done today it’s a nice little bit of PR.

Would love to have KP bring some Tech backups with him that want to help him establish his program at ACU.
