Remembering 2008: Ten years ago, Texas Tech took on Kaepernick; Nevada
Ten years ago, the 2008 Texas Tech football team faced a dangerous non-conference game on the road against a Nevada team led by a quarterback who has become quite famous in the decade since for reasons other than football.
Long before he became the most divisive figure in sports; back when the only knee he took was to run out the clock and no one cared what he did during the National Anthem, Colin Kaepernick was one of the nation’s most dangerous quarterbacks who, in week-two of the 2008 had sights on upsetting the No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders in Reno.
