It’s no secret that Texas Tech struggled with field goals in 2017. As a team the Red Raider kickers were 12/22 (54.5%) on kicks last fall. Everyone in the stands rolled their eyes or groaned when the field goal team was sent onto the field. It was atrocious, aggravating, and comical for Red Raider fans everywhere. While 2017 is behind us, can we expect any improvement from Clayton Hatfield and company this year?
Clayton Hatfield was the clear starting kicker going into last season, but after a hip injury sidelined him for numerous games, Texas Tech struggled to put the ball through the uprights.
