The team was just rusty, which was to be expected. I’ll start with the offense, which was the least offensive part of the game.
College Football Playoff predictions: Clemson vs. Alabama III on tap?
Dropping into coverage did nothing, and yes, the blitzes he did run were burnt sometimes.
The last time Texas and Oklahoma lost on the same day was when OU lost to Kansas State and Texas lost to TCU on Oct. 26 last season. The secondary was horrible, and all that can be hoped is they become just bad. Will Tech drop eight back in coverage instead on most downs? Texas Tech's offense should have no problem executing against Houston Baptist. The backs were excellent, each of them performing well. Texas Tech was up 56-41 with less than three minutes left against Texas and it looked like the Longhorns would be the second top-10 team in the Big 12 to be upset today, following Oklahoma’s upset loss at the hands of Kansas State. I have no doubt the offense by Texas time will be far better than what we saw last night. The receivers were rarely covered, and HBU wins this game if they had a better play caller and caught a few more passes.

I think at this point it's fair to say Texas is in the danger zone today. But not blitzing wasn’t working anyways, at least the blitzes made Zappe work to find his wide open receiver.
Beyond that, the hope is in Year 2 under David Yost with a healthy Alan Bowman and returning veteran receivers such as T.J. Vasher Erik Ezukanma, Dalton Rigdon and KeSean Carter that the timing with the passing game will be crisp.
All of these factors play a hand in applying pressure on the quarterback and will be a key not only this week, but likely all season. — Yahoo Sports College Football (@YahooSportsCFB) September 26, 2020, When Oklahoma and Texas open conference play with losses.

Now, for the bad news.
The Huskies run a version of Kliff Kingsbury's offense which relies on a fast tempo and a lot of run-pass option plays.

Texas Tech is scheduled to open the 2020 football season today at home against Houston Baptist. I think Red Raider nation needs a collective hug after that “win.” This article will probably not be that, but I will try not to be a source of further pain.

The Air Raid Podcast #234: Recap - Texas Tech loses in OT to Texas Tech misses opportunity to take advantage of wide-open Big 12 race Breaking down Texas Tech’s heartbreaking loss to Texas His misses deep are a sheer lack of reps, and after another two weeks of practice and another game I expect that to get worked out. Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas Tech kicks off the 2020 football season against Houston Baptist 7 p.m. (CT) today at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, TX. Former Texas Tech staffers Zach Kittley (offensive coordinator), Jared Kaster (offensive line) and Tyler Schovanec (special teams coordinator/running backs coach) all served under Kingsbury at Tech and have taken his offense to Houston Baptist.
Ask yourself, do Kansas State and Iowa State lose to the #FunBelt special in a normal year?
The corners and safeties were overwhelmed by an nonathletic and untalented receiver corp. Air Raids are going to get yards, but letting someone from a program like HBU throw for 500+ yards is baffling. To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy.

I don’t want to talk too much about the defense, because it is depressing, but it cannot be understated how much of a problem this is.
While the game and atmosphere will look very different presentation-wise, the fact the Red Raiders are playing at all, given the circumstances, is a major victory.
Bowman will lead a good offense, but ask Mahomes how hard it is to carry a defense this bad.
The rest of college football media couldn’t escape the wrath as Texas got the last laugh. Texas Tech Red Raiders. While I believe the Huskies' offense will give the Red Raiders a good look, this side of the ball should be a huge mismatch in Tech's favor. Will it be from the down linemen such as Eli Howard, Nelson Mbanasor, Jaylon Hutchings and Tony Bradford? There were more drops than Bowman threw bad balls. As of Thursday morning, Texas Tech was listed as a 39.5 favorite over Houston Baptist, an FCS program who performed well last week at North Texas before falling, 57-31.

What I'm looking for in terms of production this week is 60-plus points and between 650-700 yards of total offense, but the eye test, how the offense looks will be just as telling. “Back in west Texas. “O U T W O R K E V E R Y O N E #WreckEm | #WeUsOurProgram⚫️”
Tech defensive coordinator Keith Patterson has the most questions to answer.
Texas had survived, but plenty of Twitter accounts are now going to find themselves being retweeted by Old Take Exposed after leaving Texas for dead.
Main Navigation Menu. Sure, this is one of those keys that can be applied every week as a basic tenet of the game, but given Texas Tech's struggles with tackling, historically, and the fact Houston Baptist is going to run a lot of receiver screens and short passing routes it will be especially key this week. — Patrick Mahomes II (@PatrickMahomes) September 26, 2020. © 2005-2020 CBS INTERACTIVE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Toggle calendar overlay. — Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) September 26, 2020. I am most excited for Townsend, he looks dynamic and explosive. That might be enough to get to bad, but that is about it.
Will this team do a better job of disguising their coverages this year? What I want to see is if Texas Tech can apply consistent enough pressure on the quarterback to force Zappe into mistakes or if he's going to be able to sit back in the pocket comfortably and run this offense we all know can be very potent.
— Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs) September 26, 2020, — Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) September 26, 2020. Bowman was respectable in his first outing. Getting Demarcus Fields back will help get there, as will seeing Schooler in red and black for the first time.
Texas football pulled off a 15-point comeback to beat Texas Tech in overtime and prove all of Twitter wrong in the process. His refusal to come after Zappe for large portions of the game was idiotic.
Are we all okay? Last night went about as bad as anyone’s nightmare scenario, the only saving grace is it is always better to suck in a win than it is to wake up to a loss. Remove; In this conversation.
Other questions I have is how often will they bring the inside linebackers such as new guys Colin Schooler and Krishon Merriweather? Your privacy is safe with us. The guy had not played live football in a year, he was rusty.
They got push, they just looked out of sorts at times. If Patterson can’t scheme better, and if no one on the secondary gets pissed off and makes a change in their game Tech will fail to win more than one more game. The official Football page for the Texas Tech University Red Raiders.
Texas improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12 and holds a one-game lead over Oklahoma, so there’s extra incentive to have a big celebration tonight for Tom Herman‘s team who avoided the upset.
The offensive line was not great, but that looked like a trial and error situation. Sam Ehlinger connected with Brennan Eagles on the touchdown to draw within eight then hit him on the two-pointer after Joshua Moore hauled in the touchdown reception. Read ==> Wells sets the stage for season opener, talks depth chart. No to mention all the disruptions to the practice schedule made going full speed in practice as much as usual in fall camp a difficult proposition. The defensive line was awful at generating push, but 3-men rushes rarely succeed. First off, Houston Baptist gave up 360 yards and four touchdowns on the ground alone last weekend to North Texas so I expect to see Texas Tech's offensive line to push the Huskies' defensive line around and open big holes for SaRodorick Thompson and the other running backs.
Yost called a solid game, anyone who thinks otherwise is ignoring just how hard it is to get an offense rolling in Week One. How about the guys expected to play Raider, the overhanging strong side outside linebacker/defensive end hybrid? Your favorite teams, topics, and players all on your favorite mobile devices. Anyone too hungover after last night, both physically and emotionally?
But then Texas mounted a furious comeback, scoring 15 points in the last 2:39, including the game-tying two-point conversion with 40 seconds remaining. Today, we will be grading the offense in another tough loss. I want to see this program take another step in that area and the first litmus test is Houston Baptist.
They're going to rack up some yards. If he can’t this year, which was supposed to be largely a bye year, will become an indictment of his tenure. But from a game management perspective, he was far better than last year.
We were headed to overtime where Texas quickly put away the Red Raiders with another Ehlinger to Moore touchdown and a turnover on downs from Texas Tech on the ensuing possession. Take the first game of the pandemic season with a grain of salt. The official 2020 Football Roster for the Texas Tech University Red Raiders Skip To Main Content. I'm also curious where that pressure is going to come from.
