Having already gone through two kickers - who have combined to miss six PATs and half of their field-goal attempts - the sixth-ranked Red Raiders are now seriously considering giving Matt Williams a shot against No. 18 Kansas this weekend.
Williams is a Tarleton State transfer student who won a month of free rent at the Tech/UMass game several weeks ago by kicking a 30-yard field goal.
The best Texas Tech has to offer for a halftime skill test is about $600-800 dollars? Don't these half-court shot/30 yard kick challenges usually result in a much more substantial payday?

After the bye weeks, you really don't need three QBs, and barring injury you might even get away with just one. Personally I'd keep Eli and Jake because neither of them are surefire points week in and week out, but they're both consistent.
