Texas Tech: The Faces of Desperation

Late to the thread, but saw this and it made me giggle. -
He isn’t much of a passer though. In the playoff game against us, the thing he was best at was running 40 yards behind the line of scrimmage and not getting sacked. The best pass of the game came for ASU from that d-bag Skattebo. Leavitt is just slippery but that’s better served at a position that doesn’t command the ball or decision making/accuracy.

Yeah it is. A bad one.

leavitt threw for 34 td 9 interceptions in 1 1/2 years. 16 -4 record almost beat tx in playoffs.and thats with asu who rarely has had a good team. hes not bad and with kiffin stats will go up. too bad they didnt get sorsby who was money whipped i bet
-
We forget it because it didn't happen. The guy that almost singlehandedly led ASU to beat us was Cam Skattebo. Sam Leavitt was just the trusty sidekick that kept them on schedule by avoiding sacks and extending plays but that game was the Cam Skattebo show.
-
I think that is why Kiffin brought in 3 good transfer QBs as he knows he'll probably need the competition and depth at that position.

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas drew first blood in the first inning of Saturday’s 16-2 win over Tarleton State in the winner’s bracket game of the Austin Regional, connected on three consecutive haymakers in the second inning and cruised to victory behind a mix of patience and power at the plate and a dominant effort on the mound by Dylan Volantis. “Great ball game for us,” said Jim Schlossnagle, who watched his club draw a season-high 17 walks and play top-notch, error-free defense behind Volantis. “I felt like Dylan did a great job of trying as best he could to stay in rhythm, given the long sits he had between innings.” In the winner’s bracket, hosting a team that handed it a midweek loss during the regular season for the second year in a row, Texas (42-13) fed off the energy of an amped-up crowd. With 8,276 fans at UFCU Disch-Falk Field behind them, the Longhorns controlled their second meeting with the Texans from the jump. “I thought our crowd was great,” Schlossnagle said. “They were into it in the very first inning. Even though we only got one run out of that inning, I thought the crowd had a big impact on the game.” Carson Tinney’s fiery response ignited a crowd that was ready to explode when he was plunked in the back of the head on the first pitch he saw from 6-foot-9-inch, 240-pound lefty Ethan Wendel set the tone for Texas avenging a 6-1 home loss to Tarleton State (38-20) on March 17 with authority. “I feel like I do a good job of wearing pitches behind the plate, and I feel like when you're in the box, it's really indifferent,” said Tinney, who went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored on a night when he drew three of the team’s season-high 17 walks. “I have no problem wearing pitches in the box. I was happy to get the boys fired up.” Temo Becerra’s RBI single through the right side of the infield in the top of the first kickstarted the Longhorns’ second offensive onslaught in as many days. With five home runs in Saturday’s win, including back-to-back-to-back second-inning jacks by Aiden Robbins (2-for-4, three runs scored and four RBI), Tinney and Anthony Pack Jr., Texas has slugged its way to within one win of the program’s first Super Regional appearance since 2023 with 11 home runs in two NCAA Tournament games. Robbins, Tinney and Pack became the first three Longhorns to go deep in consecutive at-bats since Silas Ardoin, Skyler Messinger and Dylan Campbell did it on May 1, 2022, against Oklahoma State. “I watched Aiden hit his and I was like, 'Man, that'd be cool if I could do it, too,’” Tinney said. “I ran into my ball and I remember, when I stepped on home plate, Pack greeted me at home, and I looked at him, and I was like, 'It's your turn now.' “That was pretty cool to be part of such a cool experience.” The three home runs highlighted a five-run second inning, an avalanche that ended Wendel’s night after 54 pitches (five hits, six runs and three walks allowed, with one hit batter and four strikeouts in two innings), buried the Texans and put Texas in the driver’s seat in the regional. Tarleton State will face UC Santa Barbara in an elimination game at noon on Sunday, with the Longhorns drawing the winner in the regional championship game at 5 p.m. If necessary, there will be a winner-take-all final on Monday. Texas has scored 35 runs through the first two games of this year’s NCAA Tournament, which now stands as the highest-scoring two-game postseason stretch in program history. It's a spree in which the Longhorns scored at least one run in the first 13 innings of the regional. Toeing the rubber in the second with a 6-0 lead, Volantis settled in and befuddled the Tarleton State bats through 6.1 strong innings. Volantis struck out seven Texans, allowed three hits, one walk and one earned run with one hit batter in a dominant 91-pitch effort. Extending Volantis allows Texas to go into Sunday with Ruger Riojas ready for his first significant action since a four-inning, 74-pitch outing in a road win over Tennessee on May 10 and a fully-rested bullpen backing him up (Brett Crossland, Sam Cozart and Haiden Leffew have yet to pitch in the regional). Schlossnagle and Max Weiner left Volantis in the game to eat innings and make sure the Longhorns’ sizable lead, which stood at 12-0 when Volantis took the mound for the fourth inning, remained intact. “I wanted Dylan to at least get us through the sixth,” Schlossnagle said. “When he went out for the seventh, frankly, I just wanted him to have a chance to tip his cap. I wanted him to feel the appreciation of the fans. I'm glad we were able to do that.” After losing the winner’s bracket game of last year’s regional to UTSA, getting behind the eight ball and failing to recover, Schlossnagle left nothing to chance. Now, Texas is well-positioned to finish the job in front of the home crowd on Sunday. “It's always good to stay in the winner's bracket and avoid those moments, but we haven't won anything yet,” Schlossnagle said. “We won a game. We've got a new day tomorrow. “Yes, I'm glad we don't have to play two tomorrow, but the tournament is not over.” View full news story
