Red Raiders start camp vowing to make up for rare losing season

Alfredo Morales wants to show his face around Lubbock again and be able to do so proudly.

Not that the Texas Tech offensive lineman has a big ego. He just feels he owes the city something with the Red Raiders coming off a 4-8 football season.

“Walking around town, seeing the disappointed fans, the disappointed coaches, I think we let a lot of people down,” Morales said Tuesday at the team’s on-campus media day. “It was a bad experience that we never want to experience again.”

Tech’s not used to losing big. The sub-.500 season was its second in 22 years.
