Is Texas Tech the best team in the Big 12 right now?

On this edition of the Red Raiders Daily Blitz, we break down the case for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as the top team in the Big 12 after a 5-0 start and a 29-7 road win over Colorado.

The biggest reason for the optimism?

The defense.

Texas Tech forced four interceptions against Colorado, including a pick-six by John Curry, and shut the Buffaloes out after their opening drive.

That gives the Red Raiders something different from the stereotypical Texas Tech team.

This team can win with defense.

Topics include:

🏈 Why Texas Tech deserves to be in the Big 12 title conversation

🏈 The Red Raiders’ 5-0 start

🏈 How dominant the defense has become

🏈 Why turnovers are changing games

🏈 What Will Hammond and the offense still need to improve

🏈 Whether Texas Tech can make a College Football Playoff run

🏈 How the Red Raiders compare with BYU, Houston, Oklahoma State and Utah

🏈 Why winning ugly might actually be a good sign

Texas Tech doesn’t have to be perfect.

It just has to keep winning.

Texas Tech survives Houston 28-26 in a tense Big 12 opener, moving to 3-0 after a game that exposed some issues but also showed the Red Raiders can win when they’re not at their best.

On this Houston Cougars Post-Game Edition of The Red Raiders Daily Blitz, Tim Hamm breaks down how Will Hammond, Kenny Johnson, J’Koby Williams and the Texas Tech defense made just enough plays to hold off No. 22 Houston.

Hammond finished with 257 passing yards and a touchdown, while Kenny Johnson exploded for 113 receiving yards and a score. Texas Tech also got 168 yards on the ground, including touchdowns from Cameron Dickey and J’Koby Williams.

But this wasn’t clean.

Houston quarterback Conner Weigman threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, and the Cougars finished with 458 total yards while Texas Tech turned the ball over twice.

The Red Raiders still found a way.
