‘Played really well’: Texas Tech HC impressed with defensive showing in week 2 win
Kent State v Texas Tech | John E. Moore III/GettyImages Two games in and it sure feels like Shiel Wood was the right sort of hire that the Texas Tech Red Raiders needed to make at defensive coordinator. For YEARS, the defensive side of the ball has been a bit of an afterthought in some ways for the Texas Tech football program (and also a bit of a sore subject for Texas Tech football fans).
Again, we’re only two games into the 2025 season, but things feel a little different on that side of the ball for the Red Raiders this season. Hiring Wood away from the Houston Cougars was the right sort of move and I’m so glad it’s the move that Joey McGuire decided to make for Texas Tech this offseason.
