Red Raiders’ Slow Start Has History | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech fans are buzzing after a modest season opener, but don’t panic—history says slow starts often lead to big comebacks. Last year’s playoff-bound squad opened with a win over a lower-division team and still faced early doubts, just like this year’s squad, who beat Abilene Christian by 23. The defense held up impressively, limiting rushing yards despite key losses, while new transfer Jamond Mathis made an immediate impact with sacks and tackles. Plus, fewer pre-snap penalties mean smarter play—and that’s exactly what the Red Raiders need as they head to Oregon State. Early hiccups? Expected. Big wins? Coming.
