Texas Tech has now beat West Virginia more times in Morgantown (three) than they have in Lubbock (two). The overall record is 5-6 in West Virginia’s favor thanks to a thrilling 6-7 loss back in January 1, 1938 in El Paso, Texas. I wasn’t there. I have no idea if it was actually thrilling or not.
It is also worth noting that Matt Wells is undefeated against other perceived coaching candidates at the time he was hired. 3-0 versus Neal Brown and 1-0 versus Dana Holgerson.
Considering the blowout loss to Texas the prior game and considering all the key injuries the Red Raiders were dealing with, one could argue this game against the Mountaineers was the best Matt Wells has coached since he arrived in Lubbock.
