United Bank Playbook: Texas Tech

Twentieth-ranked West Virginia is expecting lots of flying footballs and, yes, some flying tortillas when the Mountaineers travel out to Lubbock, Texas, to face the 3-2 Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday afternoon.

Unlike many of the cities where West Virginia used to play on the East Coast - such as Pittsburgh and Syracuse where the fans came to the game disguised as empty seats, or Miami and Tampa where there were always a million other things going on besides a college football game - the Mountaineers’ game on Saturday against the Red Raiders is the No. 1 thing to do in Lubbock, Texas.
