When trying to rebuild a program, any head coach needs signature wins to point to as proof that his efforts are yielding tangible results. But so far, Texas Tech football head coach Matt Wells is still looking for such a victory in his third season at the helm in Lubbock.
Fortunately for Wells, this week provides a massive opportunity for a seismic win when the Red Raiders head to Texas to face the Longhorns. And there has not been a more important game against UT since 2008’s classic showdown in Lubbock that ended with Michael Crabtree’s iconic touchdown grab.
