As SMU will meet a Texas Tech team that is a question mark for those who bet on college football, college football betting intrigue goes on to build. College football betting oddsmakers are worried that Texas Tech will not have the ability to sustain the level of success that those who want to make an online bet on college football have come to expect from them.



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

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

Tuberville has promised to work to strengthen the defense to make the program better, while keeping Leach’s high powered passing attack.

“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.” After leading the Red Raiders to a NCAA betting record of 9-4 and a bowl win over Michigan State, senior Tyler Potts remains the quarterback.

SMU is arriving from their 1st bowl year since 1984 as they went 8-5 straight up and beat the college football prospects 7 times. Head coach June Jones just signed an extension as feelings are great about the longer term of this program as a Conference USA contender.

Sophomore quarterback Kyle Padron is 1 of 8 starters back on offense after setting a school record 460 yards in the bowl win over Nevada. The offense will be a college football betting asset and should get better on its 29 points per match in 2009.

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

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