The Matt Wells era of Texas Tech football hit a new low on Saturday in Austin and that’s saying something given that Wells already had a loss to Kansas on his ledger. But though there is no shame in losing to the Longhorns as there is in losing to the Jayhawks, there is tremendous shame in losing the way Tech did in the 70-35 laugher this afternoon.
In a game that saw Texas never have to punt, the Red Raiders were out-classed, out-played, and out-worked in a contest that was never in doubt for the home team. And given the context of what this game meant from an overall perspective, it’s easy to see how the embarrassment the program suffered in the state capital surpasses any embarrassment that it has previously endured under Wells’ watch.
