A signature win
This win improves Texas Tech to 6-6, which clinches the program's first bowl berth since 2015. It's the third overall bowl of the Kliff Kingsbury era. That will more than likely save Kingsbury's job in Lubbock. The Texas Tech head coach came into this game with his seat hotter than ever. A loss would have likely meant an end to to Kingsbury's tenure with the Red Raiders.
