Texas Tech’s offense could see defensive relief this season

Texas Tech quarterback Nic Shimonek has been a major topic of discussion in terms of development and range. Shimonek is a fifth year player, but has spent four years with Tech learning the system.

Fortunately for Texas Tech, pressure doesn’t seem to be an issue with Shimonek, who has more experience than most former backups headed into 2017.

“You don’t replace that type of talent, obviously.” Said Kingsbury at Big 12 Media Days.
