ARLINGTON -- Matt Wells is not Kliff Kingsbury. It's not a surprise that the 45-year-old Wells -- the new Texas Tech coach and former Utah State coach of six seasons -- is different from the 39-year-old native son Kingsbury, who was fired after going 5-7 in Lubbock last season.
Sure, Wells has a tight end in his offense. And athletic director Kirby Hocutt expects both Tech's defense and special teams to improve under Wells' leadership. But what's the change like for the Red Raiders, who have gone from the six-year tenure of Kingsbury that resulted in three straight losing seasons to Wells, who just posted 10 wins at Utah State?
