The most important revelation from Texas Tech’s 66-31 victory over Iowa State on Saturday won’t show up in the stats, no matter how impressive they were for Kliff Kingsbury’s squad.
Of course, 776 total yards, 33 first downs and a plus-3 turnover ratio are fantastic numbers to see in your team’s statistical column. But what is more important than the sum of the numbers is what they reveal about the direction in which the Texas Tech football program is headed.
Still trying to earn its way back into Big 12 relevance after 2014’s 4-8 finish, and coming off two losses to conference rivals to open league play, Texas Tech demonstrated the ability to overcome adversity by drubbing the Cyclones.
