Though the 2019 Texas Tech football season was rather disappointing at just 4-8, there are reasons for fans to believe that the program is on the cusp of taking a step forward. That’s not to suggest that 2020 is likely to bring about a magical run to a Big 12 championship but rather, it is to say that this program should expect to return to a bowl game this fall.
After all, the Red Raiders were a botched call away from taking down Baylor in Waco in 2019 and were tied or leading in the fourth quarter of losses to Arizona, Kansas, and TCU.
