On a day that saw the wind chill in Manhattan, Kansas dip into the teens, the Texas Tech football team turned in its most uninspired performance in a game that it desperately needed to win. The Red Raiders did not score a point after a 42-yard Clayton Hatfield field goal put them up 6-0 with 1:26 to play in the first quarter.
After the offense was able to move the ball effectively on its first two possessions of the game, Tech was unable to muster any life racking up just 181 total yards, the fewest in the Kingsbury era, and turning in the ball over three times in the second half.
