It appears that Mother Nature will be throwing quite a challenge at the Texas Tech football team Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas. According to AccuWeather.com temperatures are expected to be in the 30’s with wind gusts of 15-20 MPH out of the North dropping the wind chill into the 20’s by kickoff.
That is less than ideal for Texas Tech’s “Air Raid’ offense and almost a carbon copy of the weather that greeted the Red Raiders the last time they made a November foray to the Midwest. Two years ago, on a cold windy day in Ames, Iowa, the Red Raiders were unable to handle the adverse conditions and suffered a 66-10 defeat to Iowa State.
