Texas Tech football: Hidden moments in Saturday’s win over the Mountaineers

To say that the latest win for the Texas Tech football team was unusual might be an understatement. In fact, Saturday’s 34-27 triumph over West Virginia followed a rather unusual script.

First of all, the Red Raiders passed for just 169 yards. That was 152.7 fewer than they had been averaging over the first four games of the year.

What’s more, this was the first time since the 2000 season that Tech won a game when failing to throw for 200 yards. It was also just the 11th time since the start of that season that Tech had thrown for less than 200 yards.
