ARLINGTON — Texas Tech center Jared Kaster said his fellow senior Branden Jackson had a message for the younger Red Raiders in a downcast post-game locker room scene: You can’t let this be a landslide. You can’t let it go all downhill from here.
That emerging optimism Texas Tech had reason to feel after the first month of the season took a hit here Saturday at Tony Romo’s playground with a 63-35 loss to Baylor. The Red Raiders, heartened by their unexpected victory at Arkansas one week and a near-upset of TCU the next, got humbled in their second consecutive game against a top-five opponent.
