Big 12 South #3

I have the Texas Tech Red Raiders as my #3 pick in the South. Many pundits are picking the Dust Pirates 2nd in the South, as a result of the improved defense the latter half of last year and the returning starters on both sides of the ball. In addition, I think Texas only returns four defensive starters (source: Phil Steele mag that I'm too lazy to pick up and confirm), which is another reason for increased expectations for Double T Nation. I think the Red Raiders will be an offensive juggernaut this year, but I'm still unconvinced they will leapfrog the Horns. I think the Red Raider view this year will be to Get Ahead early and keep the offensive pressure on all day.
