Three thoughts from Texas Tech’s 59-44 victory over Kansas State on Saturday at AT&T Jones Stadium:
1. Like it or not, K-State intends to keep throwing the ball.
Like many K-State football fans, I was perplexed by the Wildcats’ play-calling against Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders have an abysmal run defense that was allowing nearly 300 yards on the ground per game. Everyone runs on Texas Tech. Yet, K-State attempted more passes (42) than rushes (34), finishing with 289 passing yards and 141 rushing yards.
Kliff Kingsbury said it was Texas Tech’s goal to make Joe Hubener throw, and it accomplished exactly that.
