Stephen F. Austin @ Texas Tech preview

A pair of high-powered passing offenses meet when Stephen F. Austin visits Texas Tech in a FCS-FBS battle Saturday. Walk-on freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield - believed to be the first freshmen walk-on to start a season opener for a BCS school - threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns in his debut for the Red Raiders against the Southern Methodist Mustangs last week. Senior Brady Attaway matched the Mayfield's feat, tossing four TDs with 450 passing yards in the Lumberjacks' season-opening loss to fellow FCS foe Weber State.

Not only are both teams led by pass-driven quarterbacks, they are also coached by former Red Raider pivots. Texas Tech is led by 34-year-old Kliff Kingsbury, the youngest head coach at a BCS school and a former Red Raiders quarterback - their second all-time leading passer. The Lumberjacks' quarterbacks coach Landon Hoefer, a 2008 Texas Tech graduate and quarterback, is in his first season at SFA. Hoefer was a three-year letterwinner at quarterback for the Red Raiders and played in four-straight bowl games. Look for both teams to emphasize the pass game.
