When the 2015 Big 12 football schedule was released, it was immediately clear that Texas Tech would face an unusual challenge; unlike any other team in the conference, the Red Raiders will play eleven consecutive games before finally having a bye week.
Now, five games into that stretch injuries are beginning to take a toll on Texas Tech’s depth chart. Currently, there are at least eight Red Raiders battling injuries; head coach Kliff Kingsbury hopes to have some of the recovering players available for this week’s game against Iowa State. However, there are still other players may be sidelined for a significant period of time.
