Texas Tech had the opportunity to end 2015 by measuring itself against one of the most storied programs in college football, LSU, in the Texas Bowl. The result was a stark reminder that the Red Raiders still have quite a ways to go before they are ready to compete on a national level.
LSU proved to be the more talented and physical team in every facet of the 56-27 Tigers’ victory. As expected, LSU star running back Leonard Fournette had a huge game scoring five touchdowns (4 rushing and 1 receiving) and rushing for a Texas Bowl record 216 yards.
