Another win, another dominant performance from Joey McGuire's Texas Tech Red Raiders. While this particular Texas Tech football team isn’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination, the Red Raiders have been really impressive all throughout the regular season.
And that includes against the West Virginia Mountaineers in what was Texas Tech’s latest lopsided win (and also what was a complete and total shutout, blowout for the Red Raiders).
The Red Raiders were great on both sides of the ball and there are so many different players who represented the Texas Tech program so well in this matchup. Behren Morton was efficient and effective, dicing up West Virginia’s defense with ease. Then there’s Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech’s Heisman candidate, who was all over the field for the Red Raiders.
Now, Texas Tech is sitting at the top of the Big 12 at 11-1 overall and 8-1 in Big 12 play. This season has been absolutely fantastic.
