This might turn out to be the worst year for the Texas Tech football program to have seven home games. That’s because the coronavirus pandemic is threatening to limit the number of fans allowed in Jones Stadium this fall (if fans are able to attend at all).
Now, the cynical among us would be quick to point out that a Jones Stadium at half capacity would be nothing new given the paltry crowds that we saw for the final two home games in 2019. But keep in mind that those two games were against TCU and Kansas State (which are far from marquee opponents) and they came at the end of a massively disappointing season.
