Texas Tech Football: Ballhawk Secondary Helping Defense
It may not have taken Oklahoma rushing for over 400 yards for most Texas Tech fans to realize that the Red Raider defense is, and has been, struggling for some time. Over the years a revolving door of defensive coordinators, and differing schemes has prevented Texas Tech from ever solidifying the framework necessary to field an adequate defensive unit. As such, the Red Raider defense currently ranks 124th out of 127 teams in rush defense. Mind you, this includes the defensive stalwarts of New Mexico, Hawaii, and Old Dominion; all schools that rank higher than Texas Tech in terms of rush defense.
