For perhaps the first time since the 2014 season when then-head coach Kliff Kingsbury was entering his second season following an 8-win debut campaign, there is realistic excitement over the future of the Texas Tech football program this offseason.

It is easy to understand how people have become bullish on the Red Raiders.
