It has been 275 days since we last saw a Texas Tech football game. And who wants to remember that farcical performance anyway? Fortunately, in just five days, we will finally have the opportunity to cleanse our pallet of the aftertaste of the failed Kliff Kingsbury experiment and begin focusing on the Matt Wells era.
Unlike last year when Tech opened the season with a loss to Ole Miss in Houston, the 2019 schedule should be far more docile off the bat. That’s because, instead of jumping into the deep end of the pool immediately, the Red Raiders will have games against Montana State and UTEP that should give the new coaching staff and its team an opportunity to shake the rust off and fine-tune their attack before the stakes are ramped up with a week-3 trip to Arizona.
