Just like the last article in this countdown (sorry for the spotty days, but life happens) this article is all about scoring. Scoring early, scoring often, just freaking score. The Red Raiders were a paltry 62nd in scoring offense last season, 63rd in passing offense being a big part of how that happened. Feeding that… read more

Two touchdowns, that is the absolute smallest margin I want to see through the first three games of the year. The confidence that would inspire would be immense. Taking on a weak nonconference with ACU, then a depleted and reeling Washington State, then North Texas to start the season should be an easy 3-0 start…. read more

Why it matters more: Texas Tech has a few ranked chances from the preseason AP poll. The first, and most challenging game in the early part of the schedule by a degree, is Arizona. Going on the road for just the second time of the year, combined with what was hopefully a start as planned,… read more

Behren Morton has a chance to turn in a season unlike we have seen on the South Plains in a long time. The prayers and well-wishes of all Texas Tech faithful are with his health, as I wrote about a few days ago Tech has not had any luck in that regard. But there is… read more

Texas Tech has had some of the worst runs in the history of college football with quarterback injuries. I cannot remember the last time a Tech quarterback finished the season after starting it, and several times the last five years Tech has been forced to go to the third string just to finish a season…. read more

Texas Tech had a hell of a year on the recruiting trail to compile the studs of the 2024 class. Micah Hudson being one of the highest rated recruits ever to grace the Red Raider campus, but future quarterback star Will Hammond, offensive lineman Ellis Davis, and the big EDGE Cheta Ofili are just a… read more

There is only one righteous path for Texas Tech fans who are, like myself, religiously playing NCAA25 as we wait for football season to commence. I will lay out the steps here, and if you disagree you clearly hate Texas tech, the Masked Rider, Raider Red, and yourself. Start a Texas Tech dynasty, Heisman if… read more

I have written a lot about Tahj Brooks, in this countdown and in other articles. Brooks is just too important to tech to not spend a few articles talking about him. He is not only your best player, he is the best player in the Big 12. His health is critical to this team, and… read more
