Veteran receivers finally get their shot to lead Texas Tech offense

Texas Tech football has become known as “wide receiver U” during the “Air Raid” era. But this year’s group of receivers is one of the most unique in program history.

After losing three starters from last year and with no superstar receivers left on the roster, head coach Kliff Kingsbury is having to depend on a group of upperclassmen who are playing significant roles in the offense for the first time in their collegiate careers.

Team captain and sixth-year senior Ja’Deion High had a solid day with 4 receptions and caught the team’s only touchdown pass, a 14-yard reception from Alan Bowman in the second quarter.
