Texas Tech had some games last season where the offensive playcalling was, well, perhaps a bit frustrating to put it politely. But there is a concern besides how Kittley Called games that has been a bit less noticeable but is a serious issue. Texas Tech’s offensive formations are boring, and easy to read. Tech had… read more

Tim DeRuyter came to Texas Tech a veteran defensive coordinator. With experience at Oregon standing out in particular, the Red Raider faithful were excited to see what he can do.
