In the first of three public scrimmages scheduled for this spring, the Texas Tech football team took the field in Midland, Texas yesterday giving fans a sneak peek at the 2017 squad. While the overall results mean nothing (the defense prevailed over the offense 50-36 based on a scoring system manufactured by the coaching staff) a few players competing for key roles stepped forward.
Most in attendance agreed that the defense won the day.
According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, “The defense curtailed big plays. The longest gain of the day came when [Payne] Sullins hit Quan Shorts for 26 yards up the left sideline”.
