With the big-play-ability that Keshawn Martin possesses, he'll be sure to give the Red Raiders all that they can handle on the 2nd of January.Texas Tech's tale of the tape: (8-4 overall, 5-3 Big Twelve South)The Red Raiders play in one of the toughest divisions in college football, the Big Twelve South. With perennial duels with Texas and Oklahoma, these guys are tested every year.The Red Raiders lost a couple close ones to Texas and Oklahoma State, but they handled the hearty Sooners with ease, all three BCS contenders in recent years. The Raiders were unable to dodge a bullet from the dynamic Houston Cougar passing attack, courtesy of Case Keenum, they dropped that match by a point, 29-28. That's a stat/game that should be of the encouraging nature to the Spartan faithful. The Raiders have had trouble when they encounter exceptional quarterbacks (McCoy, Keenum, Cousins) The Tech offense is scary.This is a team that puts up about 42 points per game. They eclipsed 40 points five times, and if I were a betting man, I'd wager that Tech is going to give Sparty all they can handle. 
Potts threw 12 picks on the year, but he also connected for 20 touchdowns while running that fast paced Red Raider offense. To put it plainly, this guy is dangerous.Tech's tailback Baron Batch was in the mix when it came to the league leaders in rushing in the Big Twelve.The Big Twelve is widely considered one of the FBS' elite conferences, but it's a pass-happy league.Batch avergaed just under 65 yards on the ground per game, but he led all running-men with 12 touchdowns.Guys like Greg Jones and Trevor Anderson might want to keep an eye on this fella as well.Tech's defense surrenders around 22 points per contest, but they gave up 52 to a mediocre Texas A&M squad, again, encouraging if you're a Sparty supporter. I'd hate to be a homer and take the Spartans based on faith. If there's one thing I've learned about college football it's this: if something can happen, it usually does.The Texas Tech offense is NOTORIOUS for their fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants style of play, and I fear that will be the case come January.Michigan State's best chance to beat Tech is this: Contain Potts, run the ball, and hope that Keshawn Martin wears his track shoes.State is fast, Tech is faster.If this game comes down to a track meet, which wouldn't surprise me, I like Tech by 10, 45-35.If the Spartans can manage to dictate the pace and methodically slow it down, there's a chance they can keep it closer.I'm going to be unbiased here, and take the Texas Tech Red Raiders either way....Track meet: Tech 45, State 35. Slower pace: Tech 28, State 21.I'm looking to eat my words on January 2nd, here's to an impressive showing by the Michigan State Spartans in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Michigan State is 7-12 all time when it comes to the post season, 2-3 in the last decade. Sparty's last bowl win came against Fresno State in the 2001 Silicon Valley Classic, 44-35.Here's how the boys from Lubbock have lucked out in their bowl apperances:Tech has been bowling every year since the turn of the century, compiling a 5-5 record. The Raiders' last win in a post season game came against the Cavaliers of Virginia in the 2007 Gator Bowl.
Tech edged out the Cavs 31-28.Food for thought: The Red Raiders are 1-2 all time vs Big Ten teams in bowl games They've lost to Iowa twice in the Alamo Bowl '06 Tech defeated Minnesota 44-41, OT, in the Insight Bowl '96 Iowa shut the Raiders out, 27-0 '01 Iowa edged out Tech, 19-16.Michigan State is 0-1 vs. By Sue Pleming UNITED NATIONS, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council, mulling its own action to end Israel's attack on Gaza that has killed more than 600 Palestinians, waited on Wednesday for Israel's response to a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal by Egypt U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, while calling for a "durable and sustainable" ceasefire, commended Egypt's efforts but made clear there could be no deal unless Hamas halted attacks on Israel and stopped smuggling arms into Gaza. "We need urgently to conclude a ceasefire that can endure and that can bring real security," Rice, who praised Egypt's efforts, told the Security Council on Tuesday at a session called to discuss the 12-day Israeli offensive.
