Death. Taxes. Things getting weird in Lubbock.
The No. 12 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers went on the road this afternoon and survived a late scare from the No. 25 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders, 42-34.
It wasn’t pretty. There were drops. There were weird calls. Will Grier looked arguably the worst we’ve seen him in his tenure in Morgantown - although he still completed 66% of his passes and threw for three touchdowns - and a lot of it could be blamed on dropped passes by his receivers.
The Mountaineer offense was absolutely on fire in the first half of the game, taking a 35-10 lead into the locker room but as we saw the Red Raiders do last week against the Oklahoma State Cowboys last week, Texas Tech made just the right adjustments to nearly pitch a shutout in the second half.
