Look, Texas Tech defensive coordinator Shiel Wood may not care too much about stats, but we can certainly use them to brag a bit about the way the Red Raiders are playing on the defensive side of things this season.
It’s early (very early, in fact), but Texas Tech’s defense is among the best in the Big 12 so far. The Red Raiders have been thriving on that side of the ball (which is something that just doesn’t seem to happen all that often in Lubbock).
It’s refreshing to see. It’s encouraging to see. I’m glad to see that Texas Tech can be incredibly explosive and dangerous on offense while also still playing disciplined and effective defense.
