You may have heard by now but there’s a former Texas Tech football star set to start at QB in this week’s Super Bowl LIV. But while everyone in West Texas and around the world is in the throws of Pat Mahomes madness, there will be a couple of former Red Raiders on the other side of the field or at least the sidelines. What’s more, one of them is just as legendary of a college football figure as is Mahomes, if not greater.
Coaching for the San Francisco 49ers will be former Texas Tech football players Wes Welker and Kris Kocurek, both of whom played at Texas Tech in the 2000s.
