College football betting intrigue goes on to build as SMU will meet a Texas Tech squad that is a question mark for those who bet on college football. College football wagering oddsmakers are concerned that Texas Tech will not be able to sustain the level of success that those who want to make an online bet on college football have come to anticipate from them.



Texas Tech dismissed head coach Mike Leach after the most successful 10-year period in school history and replaced him with Tommy Tuberville, who had a hugely successful run at Auburn that concluded 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 previously was the head coach at Ole Miss and there’s concern in online sports wagering that this might be an odd fit in plenty of ways. Not only does Tuberville not have any Big 12 experience 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 work to improve 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.” 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 college football odds 7 times, SMU is coming off their first bowl season since 1984. Head coach June Jones just signed an extension as feelings are great about the long run 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 wagering asset and should improve on its 29 points per match in 2009.

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

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