Apparently it was like home-made diesel fuel for Kliff Kingsbury.
It simmered, steamed and stunk all summer, but it burned hard and fast when Kingsbury, Texas Tech's head coach, put a match to it Saturday night.
Last summer, as in LAST SUMMER, at a high school coaches convention in Texas, Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema said, "If you don't play with a fullback, we'll kick your a * * . If you throw it 70 times a game, we'll kick your a * * ."
Kingsbury, who noted he was the son of a Texas high school football coach and estimated that 90 percent of the high schools in the Lone Star state are running hurry-up offenses and throwing the ball all over the yard, recalled that in his postgame remarks.
