As with many Texas Tech football teams we’ve seen in recent years, although the Red Raiders have never struggled to score points, their defense has typically never been up to the task. That has once again been the case this fall, and after a very strong offensive start against Baylor this past week, TCU will benefit from scoring early and often this afternoon.
Texas Tech has surrendered 30 or more points in all but one game this season, which was the team’s 34-27 win against West Virginia. The Red Raiders have allowed 60-plus points twice and are 0-4 in the Big 12 Conference when opponents surpass the 30-point mark.
