Since the last weekend in August, we’ve have 12 Texas Tech football games in the last 14 weeks and only four times did we wake up on Sunday morning happy about what we saw on Saturday. Though no one expected the 2019 Red Raiders to contend for a Big 12 title in year one of the Matt Wells experiment, we certainly had higher hopes for his debut than 4-8.
After all, we were told by the man himself that this was a “reload, no a rebuild”. Of course, what was he supposed to say? Was he supposed to admit that this process was going to take at least two years before we could even think about being relevant in November or that his predecessor left the roster so barren of talent that this team couldn’t field a legitimate two-deep of players that were actually Big 12 caliber?
