Saturday, the Texas Tech football program picked up an important victory over West Virginia so let’s take a look at how it came to pass.

It isn’t a stretch to suggest that this weekend’s 34-27 victory over West Virginia was the best win of the Matt Wells era. While last year’s 45-35 triumph over Oklahoma State in Lubbock is the other contender for that distinction, that game felt far more flukish given that Tech benefitted from five Cowboy turnovers as the visitors gave the game away on a silver platter.
