TLDR: Will Compton used a wild Houston-Texas Tech finish to argue college football has no business on Friday nights in Texas — those belong to high school ball.
The line before kickoff had Texas Tech favored by 7.5 with the total sitting at 53.5, and Big Cat flagged it as one of the marquee games of the slate days out. The final score barely cleared the total and the spread came down to a single stop — which is exactly the point critics of Friday scheduling keep making: these games are too good to be squeezed onto a weeknight competing with Friday Night Lights.
“Back to Friday night. Big game Friday night. Houston at Texas Tech Texas Tech is minus seven and a half over under fifty three and a half.” — Big Cat
Barstool Gambling 51:45 Compton's take will get the usual pushback — high school football doesn't carry the same TV weight, and college programs aren't giving up a national Friday audience for principle. But after a game this tight, decided on a knee-down review with under a minute left, it's hard to argue the sport needed the extra exposure. Friday night held up fine on its own; Compton just doesn't think it was Houston-Texas Tech's night to take.
