A Big 12 Championship means beating Texas Tech. Patrick Mahomes is gone. Nic Shimonek takes over. The Red Raiders have an offense in transition. Their defense struggles. DC Joe Gibbs needs a boost.
Texas Tech gives WVU’s defense a test. Few teams in the Big 12 have a better offense. Grier needs to keep up with the high-scoring affair. West Virginia dominated Texas Tech last year. A 31-point margin of victory is uncertain.
Grier and Crawford have an easy day. Both can boost their potential All-Big 12 resumes. Ka’Raun White and Gary Jennings have the same opportunity. Texas Tech gives all opposing offenses a shootout.
West Virginia gets the security of playing Texas Tech at home. It’s right between two road games. Homecoming weekend could also build confidence.
