There has been plenty of news swirling around the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl but unfortunately the news has been a big distraction to players on both teams, Michigan State and Texas Tech. First, Spartans coach Mark Dantontonio suspends eight players for their involvement in a dorm fight. Then Texas Tech trumps that by suspending, then firing head coach Mike Leach for insubordination. The Red Raiders will be coached in the bowl by interim head coach Ruffin McNeill.

Even with all the distractions Texas Tech has faced this week, the Red Raiders figure to come out firing. Quarterback Taylor Potts gets the start. He had an up and down season but played well over the last few games. Freshman receiver Alexander Torres emerged as Texas Tech’s top receiver (65 catches, 791 yards and six touchdowns). Running back Baron Batch led the Red Raiders with 784 yards and 12 rushing TDs. A victory would give Texas Tech three consecutive seasons with at least nine victories.
