Perhaps the Texas Tech football program should just stop playing in the state of Arizona. That’s because the Red Raiders have lost their last three trips to the Grand Canyon State with Saturday’s 28-14 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats being the lastest in a run of frustrating and damaging results in the desert.
Of course, making this outcome so much more devastating than simply a mark in the loss column is the loss of starting QB Alan Bowman for several weeks. The sophomore sustained a shoulder injury on the first drive of the third quarter when he was hit by a blitzing linebacker.
