What a game! Texas Tech and West Virginia gave us an absolute roller coaster, with the Red Raiders eventually escaping with a 53-48 victory.
Quarterback Tommy Castellanos threw for 362 yards and four touchdowns while adding 102 rushing yards. The offense was terrific, but the defense gave up 582 yards and 48 points.
That's where my concern starts.
You can celebrate the victory, and Texas Tech deserves credit for finding a way to win. But championship teams need to get stops when it matters.
Joey McGuire has an explosive offense, but if the defense keeps allowing opponents to move the football at will, things could get ugly against the nation's elite programs.
Texas Tech is now 8-1, but the real test is whether it can fix those defensive problems before the playoff picture takes shape.
Are the Red Raiders legitimate national championship contenders, or will their defense eventually cost them against a top-tier opponent?
