Strengths:
Offensive Line
2016 saw the worst Texas Tech offensive line play in the Air Raid era (dating back to the 2000 season). The Red Raiders averaged a Big-12 worst 3.2 yards per carry and an anemic 103.6 rushing yards per game behind a line that featured two redshirt freshmen at the tackle spots in week one.
Furthermore, six offensive linemen left the program during or after the 2016 season due to injury, graduation or dismissal. Two of those players, guard Justin Murphy and guard/tackle Baylen Brown combined for 46 career starts.
