Welcome to the party, Tyler Shough!
Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY Sports Texas Tech had a lot of questions coming into this game against FIU. They tried to answer quite a few of them this week after a 54-21 victory.
In my preview, I referenced 3 different areas to watch for. My three questions were:
Can Tech have long sustained drives?
The answer to this was yes. Tech held the ball for 32 minutes and 26 seconds, also gaining 31 first downs in the process. On the Hub City Homers pod this week, we discussed that Tech needed those 7+ play drives and boy did they deliver. 5 drives of 7 or more plays, all of them ending in points. The Red Raiders were able to keep the offense on the field much better than they did the first 2 weeks.
