One of the reasons this year’s Texas Tech football team is facing the prospect of missing out on a bowl bid is that the current version of the Red Raiders simply has no margin for error. That was evident again in Saturday’s 33-31 loss to TCU in Lubbock.
Falling to 4-6 on the year and 2-4 in Big 12 play, Matt Wells’ team now has to win its final two games against Kansas State and Texas to qualify for a 13th game. That seems unlikely because as we saw against the Horned Frogs, for the Red Raiders to win Big 12 games this year, almost everything has to go their way while they make virtually no mistakes.
