MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — The Texas Tech football team opened Big 12 play Saturday against West Virginia. Here is the instant report card from the Red Raiders' 20-13 loss to the Mountaineers.
Offense: D
Tyler Shough could be out with a significant injury for the third year in a row. Tahj Brooks had his second consecutive workhorse game in an otherwise disappointing showing for the unit.
Defense: D
Interceptions by Malik Dunlap and Ben Roberts provided a couple of opportunities. Penalties against Jesiah Pierre, Bralyn Lux and Julien (C.J.) Baskerville in coverage contributed to WVU drives that netted 17 points.
Special Teams: B
Drae McCray gave the kickoff-return game a spark. Gino Garcia chipped in a couple of field goals, and coverage units were fine.
Coaching: F
A Joey McGuire fourth-down gamble in Texas Tech's end led to a Red Raiders' fourth-quarter touchdown. But the offense stumbled around most of the game and the defense broke late.
Overall: F
Texas Tech got outplayed by the team picked last in a 14-team Big 12. The Red Raiders delivered a poor effort offensively.
