As SMU will meet a Texas Tech squad that is a question mark for those who wager on NCAA football, NCAA football betting intrigue carries on to build. NCAA football wagering handicappers are anxious that Texas Tech will not be able to maintain the level of success that those who want to make an online bet on NCAA football have come to expect from them.



Texas Tech terminated head coach Mike Leach after the most productive 10-year period in school history and replaced him with Tommy Tuberville, who had a highly productive run at Auburn that ended with his firing after the 2008 season when it became clear that the program was falling far behind arch rival Alabama.

Tuberville has been a Southeastern Conference man where he formerly was the head coach at Ole Miss and there’s concern in online sports wagering that this could be an odd fit in plenty of ways. Not only does Tuberville lack Big 12 expertise and contacts but he is also a defensive focused coach for a program used to a high flying scoring machine offense.

Tuberville has promised to keep Leach’s high octane passing attack while working to strengthen the defense to make the program better.

“For us to win a championship, they have to be accountable,” stated Tuberville regarding the defense.

“The one thing I noticed about our defense is they didn’t have a lot of confidence. I think they played pretty well last year. We’re going to have a team. We’re not going to worry about throwing for 500 yards. We’re there to win championships. That’s the reason I was brought in.” Senior Tyler Potts continues to be the quarterback after leading the Red Raiders to a NCAA betting record of 9-4 and a bowl win over Michigan State.

As they went 8-5 straight up and beat the NCAA football odds 7 times, SMU is arriving from their 1st bowl season since 1984. Feelings are fantastic about the future of this program as a Conference USA contender, and head coach June Jones just signed an extension.

After setting a school record 460 yards in the bowl win over Nevada, sophomore quarterback Kyle Padron is one of 8 starters back on offense. The offense will be a NCAA football wagering asset and ought to get better on its 29 points per competition in 2009.

“I’m very excited about the direction of the program and the university,” Jones said.

“Coach Jones has brought a winning culture to our football program,” added SMU athletic director Steve Orsini.
