COMMENTARY
LUBBOCK, Texas — Homecoming Saturday at Texas Tech was less than three quarters old when home the fans went.
No sense sticking around for the anti-climax of a 48-17 beatdown. Not when college football’s most lethal passing attack was generating all the enthusiasm of a C-Span lecture. As West Virginia emptied its full blitz package on Patrick Mahomes, the stadium emptied too — fans equal parts convinced the Red Raiders were as woeful as the Mountaineers were legit.
“You love coming into someone else’s home and making it yours for a couple of hours,” said West Virginia linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton.
