Texas Tech Football: Game Balls For Week 3

Texas Tech is now 3-0 after coming away with a three-point victory over the Houston Cougars on Saturday. The Red Raiders put an end to Houston’s nation-leading 16-game home win streak and made a statement by winning in a hostile environment against a tough opponent.

As expected, the game was physical throughout and Houston’s elite defensive line put stress on the Texas Tech offense for much of the game. Quarterback Nic Shimonek faced the most challenging test of his career and he responded by going 29/45 for 321 yards and two touchdowns.

Shimonek was good but not good enough to earn one of our meaningless and imaginary game balls.
