Mayfield elected to transfer to Oklahoma because of "miscommunication," Brewer announced his transfer in January, and walk-ons Tanner Tausch and Mike Richardson left the program this spring.

(Brewer's rates were inflated by a small sample size, of course.) This could be advantageous for the defensive scheme!

In 2012, Texas Tech started 6-1, lost four of five, won its bowl game, finished 8-5, and carried an F/+ ranking of 45th. These were huge wins and could lead to other huge wins.

Texas Tech was established in 1923, quelling the festering separatist spirit, but to this day it still feels different from the rest of Texas — certainly from Austin or College Station. Coincidentally, Leach's arrival at the school in 2000 closely correlated with an end to a streak of bad luck for the Masked Rider's mount which began when Double T died.

White is a petite young woman with dark brown hair down to the middle of her back. When combined with another backloaded schedule (all five top-40 opponents came in the final five games of the regular season), this resulted in another late-season slide, just like the 1-4 finish in 2012 and the 1-7 finish in 2011. "The rider that year said if he had put his foot out he would have hit him. Even the small towns in east and central Texas are within a few hours of cities that top a million people, but for the small towns in West Texas, Lubbock's the biggest thing going.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Double T then disappears from view into the tunnel at the other end of the field.
For Tech, fan indignance is slowly turning into fan indifference. After a couple of injuries, the run defense was the weak spot for the 2012 squad, and the differences got magnified in 2013. Plenty of schools get through a year with one quarterback, and after last year's relative success, Tech could probably survive if it had to hand the reins to Mahomes for a while.
And so anything within that 300-mile radius is all pushing its allegiance and its energy towards Texas Tech. Knowing what you're going to see, after reading a dozen articles about it, in no way makes it any easier. "We saw the rider and the horse turn and run back toward the tunnel exit, and then we just heard this "Ahhhh," this exclamation in the crowd, and then you saw people running down toward the tunnel."

They certainly don't in 2014, not with two 100-carry, 35-target running backs returning (well, sort of -- Kenny Williams is probably playing linebacker), along with four wideouts who were targeted at least twice per game (including Jakeem Grant, a high-efficiency option with high potential for breaking short passes for long gains). Rhode said that safety procedures had been thoroughly reevaluated after the 1994 incident, and that's how the Masked Rider has continued to ride. All of this can better illustrate why SBNation’s poll came up in favor of the football program’s direction, but it certainly isn’t the barometer for success this season. Simply put, on all phases of the game, this was yet another shaky performance for the Texas Longhorns and Herman within the first two weeks of a season. "And with all due respect to the male riders, I thought the female riders looked better doing it. Probably a surprise to no one: the polling shows a clean 3/4 split between those of us who believe Tech is headed in the right direction under Matt Wells and those of us who believe the opposite.

It's 8:56 in the third quarter and Tech has tied it up, 17-17. While nothing has materialized just yet, there is no doubt an appetite across the board for those markets to come into the fold. “Now, as far as where Tech can finish depends a on the health of quarterback Alan Bowman.
