Actually I live in Lubbock and know quite a bit about the TTU program. As many of you know, Leach is known locally as TSO (The Strange One).
The TOP stats would surprise quite a few. The times they were askew definitely were impacted by teams that has an offense that dominated the TTU...
Leach has had some turnover in the DC area over the years. Lyle left during the season last year, and Ruffin has the D improving. The D will not be one of the greats, but it will at least hold its own:

So does this make Samuels an evil, dirty player? Or could his just be an accident? Way too much willingness to attach malice to these events.....

Your friend is correct about the Dorsey incident. Chaz had first responsibility for Beckwith and when he didn't blitz and Dorsey rotated in he cut him. Every lineman but Lee cut on that play.
Last night was was either lazy play or intentional. Like a clip, you don't make a play if you are...

I mentioned AU's injuries. Also heard that McFadden hurt his ribs. Have y'all heard anything along that line?
Not that he is the only running threat that Arky has, but he is in a different spectrum.
The injuries continue to mount at AU. Bosley, the center went down yesterday. Starting 3 freshmen on the O-line says there isn't a lot of flexibility in the depth. Don't know the extent of his injury, but any injury hurts a lot right now.
No doubt that tamu is one of the schools that could afford to do a straight buyout. I can't imagine the PR fallout if CTT did leave, and I think he will not, and AU didn't collect any cash.
CTT is making $2.4 million, gets a yearly $200,000 raise and does have a small buyout clause in his contract. The contract was designed to prevent disingenuous activities by either side.
