One of the most common complaints voiced by Texas Tech football fans about the Kliff Kingsbury era was that Tech struggled to come up with wins when trailing at halftime. Perhaps we took for granted how difficult such a task can be because of the memorable comebacks we were witness to during the Mike Leach era.
The most improbable of those came in the 2006 Insight Bowl when the Red Raiders rallied from a 38-7 third-quarter deficit to stun Minnesota 44-41 in overtime. At the time, it was the largest comeback in bowl history and it was the program’s first-ever win over a Big 10 opponent.
