Q: How did Texas Tech get back on track?

Carlton: Texas Tech coach Chris Beard credits his four seniors -- Norense Odiase, Brandone Francis and grad transfers Matt Mooney and Tariq Owens -- for providing leadership and keeping the team focused after a disappointing effort at Kansas. The result has been a dominant six-game winning streak. The amazing thing is that people nationally weren't really paying attention until the rematch with Kansas.
