Head-to-head: Leach will outcoach Nutt in Dallas

Mike Leach’s Texas Tech offense leads the nation in passing and ranks among the top five in total yards and points per game. Houston Nutt’s Mississippi defense is tops in the country in tackles for loss and sits in the top 10 in sacks and stopping the run. Those numbers alone create a contrast in styles that makes Friday’s Cotton Bowl a proverbial chess match worth three-and-a-half hours on the couch.
