Tony Gibson blitzes. It’s what he does. Why does he do it? It goes back to West Virginia’s last trip to Texas Tech and something he noticed on film and installed for that game, and he has to explanations.

1. You have to disrupt the passer in the Big 12, whether on drop-back passes or quick throws.
2. “Sometimes in this league, the major reason I blitz is I’m pissed off and something needs to happen quickly one way or another,” he said.

And why might he be so mad Saturday? Well, Texas Tech’s offense is very good on third down. Gibson’s defense is not. But also, the Texas Tech tradition that is flying tortillas!
