Texas Tech’s Homecoming game paid a fitting homage to Lubbock — for all the wrong reasons.
Lubbock natives, redshirt junior quarterback Sawyer Robertson and redshirt sophomore linebacker Kyler Jordan, took to the field as team captains with the Bears and won the opening coin toss. Jordan chose Baylor over the Red Raiders coming out of Cooper High School; Robertson, a four-star recruit and Gatorade Player of the Year from Coronado High School, never received a Texas Tech offer at all.
Robertson walked into Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday with a newfound swagger, playing the best game of his college career and securing a 59-35 victory in the town he once called home.
