Texas Tech (4-4, 1-4) have only been 4-4 twice since 2002. In 2010, they went on to win 8 games (with the help of 2 non-conference games at the end of the season) and in 2016 when they went 5-7. To say that this game may tell the future of the remaining Tech games is an understatement. 8-4 is still a possiblity if Texas Tech can get back to the way they were playing before 2pm on October 7th (Start of the 4th quarter vs WVU), but the mentality of this team that showed so much promise early and in the midst of a three game losing streak is something that has been questioned ever since Mike Leach manned the sidelines.
