Deep Shots or Die Trying | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Coach Joey McGuire is pushing for more deep shots to keep defenses off balance, even if they don’t always complete — using a 32-yard game-winner as proof of what’s possible. With explosive plays scarce this season and yards mostly coming after catch, McGuire blames both play-calling and the QB’s hesitation to take risks. Rookie QB Will Hammond, still playing it safe after an early interception, needs to trust his playmakers — while a struggling run game demands more big throws from the passing attack. The team’s yards per attempt are down nationally, partly due to Hammond missing spring practice and partly because the offense hasn’t adjusted to a weaker ground game. Facing a tough Houston run defense, the unit must dial up variety and depth in the passing game — or risk staying stuck in mediocrity.
