Dropping the ball: Texas Tech wide receivers still having problems catching the football

It looked like a sure-fire touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes fired the ball right where it should be, through the Cover 2 defense and into the outstretched hands of Devin Lauderdale in the corner of the end zone.

But, as Lauderdale was getting his feet down and falling out of bounds, the ball popped loose of his grasp and fell helplessly onto the ground at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia on Saturday.

With less than a minute left in the third quarter, Lauderdale’s drop cost the Red Raiders a touchdown that would have tied the game.
