Entering the 2019 Texas Tech football season, most fans agreed that a six win-showing was the minimum of what would be deemed acceptable from Matt Wells’ first year. If that’s going to happen, the Red Raiders are going to have to go 3-1 in November, which is a time of year that has caused problems for this program for quite some time.
I Wells doesn’t manage to get his team to bowl eligibility this season, he will become the first Red Raider head coach to fail to do so since Jerry Moore in 1981. That year, Moore went just 1-9-1 in what was a truly awful debut season.
