During Saturday’s “White-Out” – themed game, Texas Tech absolutely dominated a home opponent for the first time since early 2013.
The team performance against the University of Texas–El Paso came as a welcome relief, as last season’s non-conference woes remained fresh in minds of many Texas Tech fans. However, similarly to last week, first-half defensive struggles were once again excruciatingly evident early on. The Texas Tech defense struggled to bring down UTEP’s ball carriers in space, particularly stand-out running back Aaron Jones. By the second quarter Texas Tech would regroup and put on quite the show for the 2015 Celebrate Cotton “White-Out” game.
