It’s not often that you see a Texas Tech Red Raider football team dominate with defense. It’s just not something the program has been known for. The Red Raiders have flat out been awful on defense over the past few decades.
And on Saturday afternoon, there was an opportunity for Texas Tech’s defense to prove that nothing had changed.
That’s not what happened though.
The Red Raiders, bolstered by a ton of transfer portal talent, proved that they can be stifling and imposing on defense. Utah’s offense entered the game as one of the most productive in the country.
