After one of the most frustrating games in recent memory, Texas Tech football fans are likely to be upset about Saturday’s 40-31 loss to Iowa State. But while many are certain to crow about the disparity in penalties (10 for 105 yards against the Red Raiders; 4 for 25 yards against the Cyclones), the blame for this loss falls squarely at the feet of Kliff Kingsbury and the Texas Tech offense.
Despite receiving a special teams touchdown on a blocked punt in the 1st quarter and a defensive touchdown on a strip sack in the 4th quarter, the Red Raider offense mustered just 17 points on the afternoon.
