Texas Tech football: Red Raiders fall to Longhorns to end the 2019 season

Mercilessly, the Texas Tech football team saw it’s 2019 season come to an end on Friday. In fact, were there another game next week, Matt Wells might not have enough healthy bodies to field a full team.

After jumping out to a promising 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Red Raiders just did not have the manpower to hold the Longhorns at bay as UT outscored Tech 49-10 the rest of the way. Jett Duffey passed for 399 yards and two touchdowns but had a key first-half fumble that ended a promising drive right before the end of the second quarter when Tech was trying to tie the game at 28-28 before the break.
