Three takeaways from recent developments in college sports:
Action: Using a modified scoring system, Texas Tech's defense beats the offense 40-27 in Saturday's spring game.
Reaction: Offense will still be the calling card of Tech as long as Kliff Kingsbury is the coach. Just don't overlook the defense. For a few years, Tech was among the worst units in the Big 12 and the country. It showed distinct improvement last season under David Gibbs and returns 10 starters and all but a couple of players from last year's two-deep.
