Taking down the then No. 16 ranked Utah Utes on the road was enough to get Joey McGuire’s Texas Tech Red Raiders a bit more attention from the ESPN number crunching computers behind the Football Power Index.
For those who weren’t paying attention to one of the biggest Big 12 games of the season over the past weekend, the Red Raiders went into Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah and surged past the Utes on their way to securing a 34-10 road victory.
That’s huge. It’s gotten Texas Tech some recognition from humans and also apparently ESPN’s Football Power Index is now moving the Red Raiders up a few spots.
