Texas Tech contained Sam Ehlinger for 57 minutes on Saturday. It might not have been pretty, and it certainly was not an elite performance by any means, but it was much better than what some folks in Lubbock anticipated. The defense had only allowed 3 offensive points in the second half prior to the final two drives. They had forced two straight punts, and were finally getting pressure on the senior quarterback.
Then the last three minutes happened.
We really do not need to go into detail on what happened. If you really want to relive that stretch, you can read my recap that details the meltdown in chronological order.
