Troy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsMatt Wells has his work cut out for him.
With most media outlets projecting an 8th or 9th place finish in the conference, a 5-7 record and virtually no players in key positions recognized in the preseason All-Big 12 team, the Red Raiders look primed for an underwhelming season in his first year in Lubbock.
But Wells has a couple of things going for him, starting with last year’s freshman sensation Alan Bowman, who, when healthy, should be considered a top-3 quarterback in the league. And, if we know anything about Texas Tech football (or football by itself), we know a great quarterback can make up for an abundance of deficiencies in other areas.
