MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia’s red zone offense against Texas Tech was almost too bad to be true.
“We didn’t do a very good job inside the 20,” said WVU coach Neal Brown. “If you get into a scoring match, you have to score in the red zone.”
Entering Saturday, the Red Raiders possessed one of the nation’s most porous red zone defenses. Opponents had scored on 88.8 percent of their trips inside the 20-yard line, making Texas Tech 112th in the country in that category.
Apparently, nothing mends what ails such a struggling defense quite like this year’s WVU offense.
