That was also an eyebrow-raiser for Erik Ezukanma who had seven catches for 135 yards in the loss. Texas Tech's best player that day was punter Austin McNamara. That 2019 game was a late-season game in Matt Wells' first season that saw an unmotivated Red Raider group get shellacked 49-24. In 2019, the Longhorns were 8 point favorites and in 2017 they were favored by 7.5. At the time of publishing the Red Raiders are 8.5 point underdogs to the Longhorns.
The last two times Texas Tech went to Austin they were in a similar position to the 2021 team according to Vegas.
