Found this article on ESPN.com


Which teams will fatten their BCS résumés against soft nonconference schedules? Which Heisman Trophy candidates will pad their statistics against the likes of Charleston Southern, Northern Colorado and Tennessee-Chattanooga? ESPN.com takes a look at the least difficult schedules in college football in 2007.

1. KANSAS
2. HAWAII
3. ARKANSAS
4. INDIANA
5. CONNECTICUT
6. NAVY
7. NORTHWESTERN

8. TEXAS TECH: Give the Red Raiders some credit for scheduling a pair of nonconference road games … at SMU and Rice. A home game against UTEP might be challenging, but a Sept. 29 game against Division I-AA Northwestern State will be a rout. Texas Tech plays home games against two of the Big 12 conference’s most talented teams, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.

Nonconference opponents: SMU (road), UTEP (home), Rice (road), Northwestern State (home)
Toughest game: at Texas, Nov. 10

Mike Leach Quotes
by techstrong

“How come they get to pretend they are soldiers? The thing is, they aren’t actually in the military. I ought to have Mike’s Pirate School. The freshmen, all they get is the bandanna. When you’re a senior, you get the sword and skull and crossbones. For homework, we’ll work pirate maneuvers and stuff like that.” On the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.

“Distributing the ball to all the different skill players is our biggest emphasis. We’re not a team that hands it to one guy and throws it to two. We want all five skill positions to touch the ball.”

Mike Leach

“For whatever reason, screens tend to gas a defense more than the offense. And if they’re going to blitz, it helps keep them honest so you can run your other stuff.”

“We’ll have to wake up at 5:45 [a.m.], but it’s not necessarily a concern. You play when you play.”

“I don’t see a lot of weaknesses in the Alabama defense. They run just a basic good, old-fashioned defense, which they execute it real well. I think the strength of that team is the fact they don’t have a lot of weaknesses.”

“It’s not just a bowl that your players have heard about for a long, long time, but their parents and their grandparents have. There isn’t anyplace in America that’s insulated from the Cotton Bowl and its tradition.”

“Cody Hodges graduates next year, so I would like Mike Shula to come out and be our quarterback for the next year. And we can get started practicing here today if he doesn’t have anything going on.”

“It didn’t look very good when it left his foot. I had high hopes for it not being good at that point. Did he make it?”. On Alabama’s winning field goal in the Cotton Bowl

“Our notion of balance is that the five guys who catch the ball all gain 1,000 yards in the season.”

“Your body is your sword. Swing your sword.”
