Texas Tech already has registered five wins on the year, one more victory than it registered during the 2014 season. Previously, the Red Raiders played one of the nation s most difficult three-game stretches that included a win at previously ranked Arkansas and back-to-back losses to consecutive top-5 ranked teams in No. 3 TCU (55-52 loss at home) and No. 5 Baylor (63-35 loss at AT&T Stadium in Arlington). It marked the first time in school history that Texas Tech faced two consecutive nationally ranked top-five teams in back-to-back weeks. Tech enters its game this week after dropping two consecutive games to nationally ranked teams. In West Virginia, Texas Tech faces its seventh Big 12 opponent of the year and plays its 1,010th all-time football game as the Red Raiders own a 549-427-32 all-time football record in 91 total seasons. The Red Raiders have accumulated 55 winning seasons and advanced to 36 bowl games. Last year, Texas Tech finished a disappointing 4-8 overall and 2-7 in the Big 12 Conference. The sub-.500 season marked Texas Tech s only second sub-.500 season in the last 22 years. With a win over West Virginia, Texas Tech will be bowl eligible for the 23rd time in the last 25 seasons. West Virginia enters Saturday s game after dropping four straight contests to four consecutive nationally ranked teams: at No. 15 Oklahoma (L, 44-24), vs. No. 21 Oklahoma State (L, 33-26 in OT), at No. 2 Baylor (L, 62-38) and at No. 3 TCU (L, 40-10). The Mountaineers are coached by former Texas Tech assistant Dana Holgorsen, who served eight seasons under former Tech head coach Mike Leach (2000-07). West Virginia lost a 40-10 contest at No. 2 TCU on Thursday night in Fort Worth.

Sophomore Josh Lambert kicked a career-long 55-yard field goal as time expired to give the Mountaineers the victory. WVU rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter to defeat Tech. TTU s Justin Stockton ran for a 69-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter before West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett threw a 26-yard touchdown to Kevin White and Rushel Shell ran for a 1-yard score to tie it at 34-34 with 2:02 left.

WASHINGTON EYEING ANOTHER 1,000 YARD SEASON Currently enjoying a successful senior season, running back De- Andre Washington continues to move up the national ranking charts. Washington ranks No. 21 nationally and No. 4 in the Big 12 in yards per rush (6.3), No. 18 nationally and No. 3 in the Big 12 in total rushing yards (932) and No. 29 nationally in rushing yards per game (103.6).

He ranks second on the squad in all-purpose yardage with 1,122 yards. Last year, Washington became the first running back at Texas Tech since Ricky Williams in 1998 to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.

WEEK 10: WEST VIRGINIA 2015 TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL TEXAS TECH PILES ON THE POINTS Texas Tech is averaging 47.3 points per game, a mark that ranks fourth nationally and third in the Big 12 Conference. Texas Tech has scored 50 or more points five times this season. That ties a school record for most 50-point games in a season. Texas Tech also scored 50 or more points five times in 2005. Texas Tech has scored at least 25 points in each of its nine games this season, the longest streak for the Red Raiders since 2008. Tech scored 25 or more points in 10 consecutive games in 2008. Texas Tech s 426 points mark the highest total over the first nine games of a season in school history. The Red Raiders totaled 423 points during the same span in 2008. Texas Tech was held to 27 points at Oklahoma on Oct. 24. Previously, the Red Raiders had scored 30 or more points in 10 consecutive games dating back to the conclusion of the 2014 season. It marks the longest 30-point streak for Texas Tech since the Red Raiders went 10 straight games with at least 30 points during the 2010-11 seasons (Nov. 20, 2010- Oct. 22, 2011). Texas Tech is averaging 43.8 points per game in Big 12 play despite already facing four top-25 ranked and two top-5 opponents. With a combined 123 points scored between Texas Tech (53) and Oklahoma State (70) on Oct. 31, Texas Tech set a school record for most combined points scored in a single-game. Tech s 53 points were the most it scored in a losing effort. Oklahoma State came into the game limiting opponents to 18.9 points per game on the year. Texas Tech eclipsed that mark with 4:13 remaining in the first quarter. Texas Tech s 66 points scored against Iowa State ranked for the ninth most points scored in school history. The 66 points were the third-highest total scored in a conference game in program history. The Red Raiders also scored 66 points against Kansas State in 2009, 70 points against Nebraska in 2004 and a program-record 71 points against New Mexico A&M (now New Mexico State) in 1953. Texas Tech s 69 points against UTEP marked the eighth-most for a single game in program history and the most since the Red Raiders amassed 75 points vs. Northwestern State during the 2007 season. In the first half alone this year, Texas Tech has combined to score 263 points (38 vs. Oklahoma State, 17 at Oklahoma, 20 at Kansas, 38 vs. Iowa State, 21 vs. Baylor, 28 vs. TCU, 21 vs. Arkansas, 38 vs. UTEP and 42 vs. Sam Houston State) through its first eight contests. Tech is averaging 29.2 points in the first half alone. Texas Tech has scored 38 or more points in the opening half four times this season and twice during Big 12 play (Oklahoma State and Iowa State). Texas Tech had previously not scored 38 or more points against a Big 12 opponent since the Red Raiders scored 38 vs. Kansas State on Oct. 10, 2009. The Oklahoma State game marked the fourth time this season that Tech had totaled at least 30 before halftime (Sam Houston State, 42; UTEP, 38). SECOND HALF TURNAROUND The second half has been much better for the Red Raider defense this season as Texas Tech has cut opponent scoring and total yards following halftime. Below is a listing of the improvement Tech has shown from the first to second half: Category 1st Half Avg. 2nd Half Avg.

His 12 sacks also ranked fourth among single-season leaders in school history. Robertson also became the first Red Raider during the Big 12 era (since 1996) to register a sack in six consecutive games (Sept. 25-Nov. 1, 2014). He concluded the 2014 season with at least one sack in eight of his last nine games played. With 4.0 sacks for 19 yards on the year, Robertson is now ranked fifth among school career sacks leaders with 20.0. The school record is 34.0 held by Aaron Hunt from 1999-2002. Last year, Robertson led the Red Raiders defense in tackles (81), tackles for loss (14.5-74), sacks (12), quarterback hurries (7) and forced fumbles (3).

BOLD indicates a 2015 opponent. EXPERIENCED OFFENSIVE LINE ANCHORS TECH OFFENSE A major strength for Texas Tech is its offensive line as the Red Raiders returned four of their five starters, including senior All-America candidate Le Raven Clark (47 career starts), senior center Jared Kaster (34 consecutive starts), senior Alfredo Morales (28 career starts) and junior Baylen Brown (20 career starts). Redshirt freshman Justin Murphy started in four of Tech s nine games. In addition, Alfredo s twin brother Tony Morales provides valuable senior leadership and depth. The group has allowed just 13 sacks (70 yards) through its first nine games and ranks No. 34 nationally and No. 3 in the Big 12 in that category despite also leading the country with 446 pass attempts. In addition, the line has only allowed 4.22 tackles for loss per game, which ranks No. 11 nationally. The offensive line is a major strength for the Texas Tech offense as it returned 73 percent of its starts from last year s team. The Red Raiders allowed just 13 sacks in 12 games in 2014, a figure that ranked No. 12 nationally. JUSTIN STOCKTON: BIG PLAY/TOUCHDOWN MACHINE Nicknamed The Flash for his speed, sophomore running back Justin Stockton has scored a touchdown in six of Texas Tech s nine games this season, including three rushing (54-yarder, 4-yarder and 22-yarder) and four receiving (42-yarder, 46-yarder, three-yarder and 50-yarder). On offense, Stockton is averaging 8.5 yards per play (65-554) despite touching the ball only 65 times in nine games. In his two-year career, Stockton is averaging 8.2 yards per play (125-1,020). GRANT RANKS SECOND IN CAREER KICK RETURN YARDS Jakeem Grant continues to climb Texas Tech s career kickoff return yardage list. He currently averages 28.0 yards per kickoff return, which ranks No. 17 nationally and No. 4 in the Big 12 Conference. With his two kickoff return touchdowns on the year, a career-best 100-yard TD vs. Oklahoma State and a 94- yard TD vs. Sam Houston State, Grant ranks No. 2 nationally in season kickoff return touchdowns. Only one players nationally has three kickoff return touchdowns, Tennessee s Evan Berry. Grant sits in sole possession of second place on Texas Tech s career kickoff return list: Career Yardage List Rank Player (Years) Yards 1. Eric Stephens (2009-12); 82 returns 1,979 2.

The 100-yard kick return tied the school record held by five other Red Raiders throughout history. With his 94-yard kick return touchdown in the second quarter against Sam Houston State on Sept. 5, Grant set a new school record for most career kick return touchdowns with three. He was previously tied with Jack Kirkpatrick (1952-55) for the program lead with two. Grant has scored on kick returns of 99-yards (vs. Minnesota on Dec. 28, 2012), 97 yards (vs. Baylor at AT&T Stadium, Nov. 24, 2012), 94 yards (vs. Sam Houston State, Sept. 5, 2015) and 100-yards (vs. Oklahoma State, Oct. 31, 2015). Three of those returns rank among the school s alltime longest kickoff returns. During his freshman season in 2012, he became just the second Red Raider in school history to return two kicks for touchdowns in the same season. Kirkpatrick was the other player to achieve that honor. TEXAS TECH OFFENSE RELIES ON EXPLOSIVE PLAYS Texas Tech s offense leads the nation in all five explosive play categories including most 10-yard gains, 20-yard gains, 40- yard gains and 50-yard gains. Tech ranks second, one play behind Baylor, in most 30-yard gains from scrimmage. See charts below. Combining previous seasons, Texas Tech also ranks No. 2 nationally in most plays gaining 40 or more yards from scrimmage (2014-15) and No. 3 in most 30-yard plays (2013-15).

That streak is currently the second-longest active streak in the Big 12 Conference (TCU, 287). Texas Tech has posted 325-plus yards of total offense in 49 straight games, the longest active streak in the FBS. Texas Tech had 11 different receivers catch a touchdown pass in 2014. Already in 2015, 10 have scored on a TD reception. Texas Tech has played four true freshmen quarterbacks in the last two years while three have gotten starting nods. Mahomes is the first non-freshman quarterback to earn a start in three years. Senior offensive tackle Le Raven Clark leads the team with the most consecutive starts. He currently has a streak of 47 consecutive games started. DEFENSIVE NOTES David Gibbs is in his first year as Texas Tech s Defensive Coordinator. Linebackers Dakota Allen (82) and Micah Awe (76) and defensive backs J.J. Gaines (60) and Jah Shawn Johnson (57) lead the Red Raiders in tackles.

Gaines, who has recovered two fumbles on the year, ranks No. 9 nationally in that category. Both Johnson and Gaines lead the Red Raiders in forced fumbles with two apiece. Johnson was named the Big 12 s Defensive Player of the Week (Sept. 21) following his career-high 16 tackle performance at Arkansas. Senior linebacker Pete Robertson leads the Red Raiders in tackles for loss (11.5-35). Tech has registered 46 tackles for loss totaling 124 yards this year. With nine interceptions on the year, Texas Tech ranks No. 26 nationally. J.J. Gaines ranks No. 24 nationally in interceptions with four on the year. He picked off passes in back-to-back games including one at Kansas and a career-high two in Texas Tech s victory over Iowa State. It was the first time a Red Raider had intercepted two passes in a game since Cornelius Douglas had two picks against Iowa State in 2012. Gaines now has nine interceptions during his career. He is now ranked tied for No. 10 in school history for most career interceptions. Texas Tech returned seven defensive starters from a youthful 2014 unit. Returning starters include Branden Jackson (DE), Pete Robertson (RUSH), J.J. Gaines (SS), Justis Nelson (CB), Keenon Ward (SS), Tevin Madison (CB) and Nigel Bethel II (CB). Last year, Texas Tech used a total of 26 newcomers on both sides of the ball, including nine true freshmen. Of that group, 17 were listed as defensive players. In 2014, Texas Tech used four true freshmen in its secondary as Nigel Bethel II, Derrick Dixon, Jah Shawn Johnson and Tevin Madison all saw action during the season. Madison started the first five games at cornerback before Bethel earned the nod in each of the last seven contests. Dixon, meanwhile, made his first two career starts at Iowa State and vs. Baylor. Over half of the Red Raider defensive players (21 of 35) who recorded at least one tackle in 2014 were classified as a freshman, sophomore or newcomer to the Tech roster. In 2014, Texas Tech boasted one of the youngest secondaries in the country as the Red Raiders used a pair of true freshmen at cornerback (Tevin Madison and Nigel Bethel II) in the starting lineup as well as a true sophomore in Justis Nelson at the other corner spot, a sophomore in Keenon Ward and a junior in J.J. Gaines at the two safety spots. Jalen Barnes and Derrick Dixon, both freshmen, both recorded a start at safety as well. All those players are a year older now. SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES Tech ranks first nationally in blocked punts allowed (zero). Tech s return game is led by kick returner Jakeem Grant, one of the nation s best. He ranks No. 2 nationally in most kicks returned for touchdown (2) and No. 17 nationally and No. 4 in the Big 12 in yards per kick return (28.0). He has registered kick return touchdowns of 100-yards (vs. Oklahoma State) and 94-yards vs. Sam Houston State. Punt returner Cameron Batson ranks seventh in the Big 12 in punt return average (5.7). All-Big 12 punter/kickoff specialist Taylor Symmank ranks No. 2 in the Big 12 in punting as he has averaged 46.6 yards per punt (19-886). He would be ranked nationally, but he has taken limited attempts. Six of his punts have traveled 50 or more yards with a career-long of 68 yards. Only nine of his punts have been returned (47 percent). As a kickoff specialist, Symmank has registered a phenomenal 27 touchbacks in 37 kickoffs with a 64.5 average per kick (37-238). Only 27 percent of Symmank s kickoffs have been returnable (10-37). In addition, Clayton Hatfield has had only 17 kicks returned in 40 kickoffs. Opponents have only returned 26 kicks for 576 yards (22.2 yards per return) on the Red Raiders. Texas Tech s two placekickers Michael Barden and Clayton Hatfield are a combined 11-for-13 on field goals this year. Hatfield, who is 34-for-35 on point after attempts, kicked Texas Tech s longest field goal this season with a 42-yarder against Oklahoma State. The duo has combined to convert 53-of-54 PATs on the year.

TEXAS TECH: A MODEL OF SUCCESSFUL CONSISTENCY Since 1993, Texas Tech has endured just two sub-.500 seasons. On that note, Texas Tech ranks among the nation s top-six programs in regards to experiencing the least sub-.500 seasons since 1993. Only four NCAA FBS college football programs Florida State (0), Southern California (1), Ohio State (1) and Florida (1) have fewer sub-.500 seasons in the last 22 years: SUB.500-SEASONS SINCE 1993 Total School (Years) 0 Florida State 1 Southern California (2000) 1 Ohio State (2011) 1 Florida (2013) 2 TEXAS TECH (2011, 2014) 2 Nebraska (2004, 2007) 3 Texas (1997, 2010, 2014) 3 Texas A&M (2003, 2008, 2009) 3 Georgia (1993, 1996, 2010) 3 Michigan (2008, 2009, 2014) 3 Miami, Fla.

Tech s attendance on Sept. 5 was 60,073, just 381 shy of a sellout. The crowd of 60,073 ranked as the second largest crowd to attend a season opener in school history, ranking second behind last year s sellout crowd of 60,778 against Central Arkansas on August 30, 2014. Prior to the last two seasons, the previous record was 57,528 for the SMU game in 2010. In addition, the 60,073 fans ranked as the 10th largest crowd in Jones AT&T Stadium history. ATTENDANCE IN 2015 OFF THE CHARTS Already in 2015, Texas Tech has registered two of the school s top-11 single-game crowds in school history. Tech drew 61,283 fans for its game against TCU on Sept. 26, the second largest crowd in Jones AT&T Stadium history. The largest crowd was 61,836 versus Oklahoma State in 2013. In addition, the season opener against Sam Houston State on Sept. 5 drew 60,073 fans, the 11th largest crowd in school history. Average attendance through five games is 56,842, which would rank as the fifth highest season average in school history. Tech s average attendance record of 58,934 was set last year (2014) for the third straight season. GROUP OF 23 SENIORS PROVIDE LEADERSHIP FOR TECH Texas Tech has the benefit of a 23-member senior class. It is the largest senior class that Kliff Kingsbury has had since he became head coach three years ago. Ten of those seniors were listed as starters on the 2014 preseason depth chart. Senior leaders for Texas Tech include DeAndre Washington (RB), Le Raven Clark (OL), Pete Robertson (RUSH), Branden Jackson (DE), Jared Kaster (C) and Jakeem Grant (WR). BACK-TO-BACK LOSING SEASONS ARE RARE AT TEXAS TECH Texas Tech enters the 2015 season coming off only its second sub-.500 season in 22 years (4-8 in 2014). A sub-.500 season is a rarity for the Texas Tech football program. Even more of a rarity is back-to-back sub-.500 seasons at Texas Tech. The last time Tech had back-to-back losing seasons was in 1984-85. The Red Raiders endured six consecutive losing seasons from 1979-85. FROM SUB-.500 SEASON TO SUCCESS Since the 1985 season, the last five times Texas Tech went through a losing season, the Red Raiders responded the following year with a.500 record or better. Furthermore, in four of those five seasons, the Red Raiders rebounded with a bowl berth (2012-Meinecke Texas Bowl; 1993-John Hancock Bowl; 1989 All-American Bowl; 1986 Independence Bowl). Here are the seasons: From 5-7 in 2011 to 8-5 in 2012 From 5-6 in 1992 to 6-6 in 1993 From 4-7 in 1990 to 6-5 in 1991 From 5-6 in 1988 to 9-3 in 1989 From 4-7 in 1985 to 7-5 in 1986 PRODUCTIVE EXPERIENCE RETURNS TO TEXAS TECH With 16 starters and 48 total letterwinners returning to the Texas Tech football program in 2015, the Red Raiders have experience back in a variety of position groups and statistical areas. The following chart depicts how much production Texas Tech has returning in each statistical category: Statistical Category Percentage Returning Rushing Attempts 94% (334 of 355) Rushing Yardage 96% (1758 of 1836) Rushing Touchdowns 88% (7 of 8) Completions 95% (317 of 332) Passing Attempts 95% (533 of 559) Passing Yardage 97% (4097 of 4213) Passing Touchdowns 100% (40 of 40) Receptions 75% (249 of 332) Receiving Yardage 72% (3051 of 4213) Receiving Touchdowns 68% (27 of 40) Total Offensive Yardage 78% (4693 of 6049) All-Purpose Yardage 85% (5937 of 6996) Total Points (Scoring) 57.4% (210 of 366) Punt Return Yardage 100% (65 of 65) Kickoff Return Yardage 100% (840 of 840) Offensive Line Starts 73% (44 of 60) Tackles 73% (670 of 924) Tackles for Loss 81% (50.5 of 62) Sacks 88% (22 of 25) Interceptions 83% (5 of 6) Punts 100% (54 of 54) Field Goals 0% (0 of 10) PRESEASON HONORS ROLL IN FOR LE RAVEN CLARK Texas Tech offensive left tackle Le Raven Clark enters the 2015 campaign as an All-America candidate. The two-time All-Big 12 First Team honoree has been named to watch lists for the Outland Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Trophy for the third-straight season. He was also selected to three preseason All-America teams including The Sporting News (Second Team), Athlon Sports (Third Team), Phil Steele (Fourth team). WIDE RECEIVER U Texas Tech easily stakes claim to the tag Wide Receiver U and has the numbers to prove it. Since 2000, Texas Tech receivers have caught 641 touchdown passes and hauled in 77,343 receiving yards both of which lead the nation. In addition, the Red Raiders have two Biletnikoff Awards on display in their trophy case and two of the most prolific receivers in the NFL: Michael Crabtree and Wes Welker. 8 TEXASTECH.COM

He needs just three more touchdowns to move past Robert Hall into sixth place. Threw for 300 yards against TCU for his 10th career 300-plus yard passing game. ATTENDANCE RECORD FALLS FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR Texas Tech fans showed yet again why they are the most loyal fans in the country as an average attendance record was set in 2014 at Jones AT&T Stadium for the third consecutive season. Texas Tech needed just 53,004 in attendance at the final home game against Oklahoma on Nov. 15, but instead enjoyed a crowd of 59,014 in the home finale. The Oklahoma game attendance figure gave Texas Tech a final average of 58,934 which surpassed last year s mark of 57,932. Overall, Tech s attendance has increased in each of the last three seasons. Texas Tech Home Game-by-Game Attendance in 2014: Central Arkansas 60,778 Arkansas 60,277 West Virginia 58,502 Kansas 54,071 Texas 60,961 Oklahoma 59,014 BEST STUDENT BODY IN THE BIG 12 Texas Tech s football student section was ranked No. 10 in the country in a recent poll by USA Today. Tech had the only student section recognized in the Big 12 Conference. College Football Index a poll conducted by USA Today is a cumulative data-based ranking of America s most engaged fan bases in 2014. In 2013, ESPN s Jake Trotter ranked the Red Raider students the best student section in the Big 12. Texas Tech students not only provide a tremendous home field advantage, but they have turned out in record-setting numbers. In 2013, Texas Tech set an average student attendance record of 11,249 and a Jones AT&T Stadium individual game record of 16,092 for the Red Raiders 20-10 victory over No. 24 TCU. In an era where student attendance is in decline across the country, the opposite is occurring in Lubbock at Tech students not only set facility attendance records at football, but also in basketball and baseball. FOUR STRAIGHT BOWL WINS Texas Tech has advanced to bowl games in 13 of its last 15 seasons. The Red Raiders have also registered wins in each of its last four bowl appearances. Tech currently holds the longest active bowl win streak in the Big 12 and the longest in school history. Tech s streak of bowl wins started in San Antonio with a 41-31 win over Michigan State in the 2009 Alamo Bowl. The Red Raiders last registered a 37-27 victory over No. 16 Arizona State in the 2013 National University Holiday Bowl. Texas Tech s 36 all-time bowl appearances ranks tied for No. 17 nationally. KINGSBURY IN ELITE COMPANY Texas Tech Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury is now one of only two NCAA Division I coaches nationally that finished in the Top-10 in the Heisman Trophy voting and played in the National Football League. Kingsbury joins Michigan s Jim Harbaugh as the only two active coaches to accomplish this feat. Harbaugh finished third in the 1986 Heisman Trophy race and played 13 seasons in the NFL. Former South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier was also in this category until he resigned in early October. Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy in 1966 and played 10 seasons in the NFL. KINGSBURY IS YOUNGEST COACH IN POWER 5 CONFERENCES At the age of 36, Kliff Kingsbury is the youngest head coach in the Power 5 and the third youngest coach in the FBS.

He was named the 15th head coach in program history on Dec. 12, 2012. In his second season as head coach, Kingsbury led a young and inexperienced squad to a 4-8 overall record. His potent offense began to develop the balance he had been seeking, as running back DeAndre Washington became the first Red Raider to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season since Ricky Williams did so in 1998. The Red Raider offense finished the season ranked 10th (504.1 yards-per-game) nationally while the pass offense ranked fifth (351.1 yards-per-game). In his first season in 2013, Kingsbury led the Red Raiders to an 8-5 overall record and a stunning 37-23 win over No. 16 Arizona State in the National University Holiday Bowl. He became just the second coach in school history to win a bowl game in his first season as the Red Raiders dismantled the heavily favored Sun Devils in San Diego. His popularity also helped revitalize the Texas Tech fan base as the Red Raiders set a new school record for average home attendance. Kingsbury returned to his collegiate roots after a one-year stint as offensive coordinator at Texas A&M in 2012 where he played a major role in leading freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel to the Heisman Trophy. Under his guidance, the Aggie offense finished third nationally in total offense by averaging 552.33 yards per game. The Aggies ranked 14th nationally in passing offense and 13th nationally in rushing offense, making Texas A&M one of the most balanced attacks in college football. For the second consecutive year, Kingsbury was named the national offensive coordinator of the year. Kingsbury made the move to Texas A&M from the University of Houston where he played a key role in the Cougars recordsetting 13-win season in 2011. The Cougars finished 2011 with a 13-1 record and posted the program s highest final BCS finish in school history (No. 19). Kingsbury served as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Cougars in 2011, and was named the 2011 Offensive Coordinator of the Year by FootballScoop. com. The Cougars led the nation in total offense, passing offense and scoring in 2011, while record-setting quarterback Case Keenum placed seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting and won the Sammy Baugh Award. After a five-year professional football career, Kingsbury entered the coaching ranks in the spring of 2008 when he joined Sumlin s staff as an offensive quality control assistant. He later earned his first full-time position as quarterbacks coach in 2010. Kingsbury was drafted by Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots after a record-setting career at Texas Tech. Kingsbury received multiple honors including Associated Press Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year as a quarterback for the Red Raiders. In addition, he set 39 school records, 16 Big 12 marks and 17 NCAA records during his career at Tech (1999-2002). As a senior he was awarded the Sammy Baugh Trophy, presented annually to the nation s best college quarterback. The first in a long line of record-setting Texas Tech quarterbacks under then-head coach Mike Leach, Kingsbury recorded more than 12,000 passing yards and total offense including over 1,000 pass completions making him only the third player in NCAA history to accomplish all three. Kingsbury also excelled in the classroom as he was one of 14 collegiate football players to receive a post-graduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame as he also garnered Academic All-America Player of the Year honors in 2002. A native of New Braunfels, Texas, Kingsbury graduated from Texas Tech in 2001 with a bachelor s degree in management. OFFENSES UNDER KINGSBURY Since earning his first coordinator position at Houston in 2010, Kliff Kingsbury has annually produced one of the nation s top offenses. A two-time National Offensive Coordinator of the Year honoree, Kingsbury as produced an offense that has ranked 11th or better nationally in each of the past five seasons.

WEEK 10: WEST VIRGINIA 2015 TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL GAME 1 TEXAS TECH 59, SAM HOUSTON STATE 45 LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Patrick Mahomes threw for 425 yards and four touchdowns, two each to Ian Sadler and Devin Lauderdale, to lead Texas Tech past Sam Houston State 59-45 on Saturday. The sophomore also ran for 48 yards on five carries. Jakeem Grant ran for his third career kickoff return for a TD on a 94-yarder. He also scored the Red Raiders (1-0) first TD on a 3-yard run. Jones AT&T Stadium (60,073) September 5, 2015 SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FINAL Sam Houston State 14 17 0 14 45 Texas Tech 14 28 17 0 59 Mahomes completed 33 of 53 passes with one interception. That pick led to the first of two TDs by Sam Houston State s Donavan Williams. Lauderdale finished with 150 yards on eight catches. The Bearkats (0-1), a Football Championship Subdivision team, stayed close in the first half but were shut out in the third quarter. Sam Houston s Jared Johnson completed 18 of 28 passes for 144 yards with an interception. Backup Jerimiah Briscoe threw a 29-yard TD pass to Davion Davis. Mahomes showed his mobility - the facet of his play that coach Kliff Kingsbury likes a lot - in the pocket early in the second quarter. On third and 4 from the Bearkats 10, he looked like he was going to run up the middle but then backed up and went to his right. When that path closed he reversed course and scampered until he saw Sadler just across the goal line. Mahomes squared his shoulders and fired the ball to his receiver to put the Red Raiders up 21-14. Mahomes lone pick came when one of his receivers tipped the ball and it was intercepted by Alfonzo McMillian. Two plays later Williams scored on a 1-yard run. It didn t appear that Grant would be able to return the kickoff far after he got trapped near the far sideline. But he cut back just past his own 20 and ran crossfield to the end zone. It was the first kickoff return for a TD in a season opener since 2001 against New Mexico and the first since the 2013 Holiday Bowl (Reginald Davis). Texas Tech forced three turnovers with all three coming in the second half. J. J. Gaines picked off Johnson in the third quarter and returned it 47 yards for a score, and Thierry Nguema picked off Briscoe in the fourth. Ohio State transfer Mike Mitchell recovered a fumble in the third quarter and Gaines got one in the fourth.

The sophomore completed 18 of 33 passes for 361 yards Mahomes scoring passes went to Jakeem Grant (60 yards), Justin Stockton (46 yards), Reginald Davis (35 yards) and Devin Lauderdale (34 yards).

Washington got 138 yards rushing on 12 carries. Miners running back Aaron Jones scored on a 91-yard rush - the longest running play in UTEP history. He got hurt and left the game just before halftime with a left ankle injury. The Miners (0-2) really needed him in the second half. Jones also scored on a 24-yard pass from quarterback Mack Leftwich, who completed 14 of 22 passes for 164 yards. The game was a far cry from last year s when Texas Tech had to come from behind to beat the Miners 30-26 in El Paso. And it was a much better defensive outing for the Red Raiders, who gave up 637 total yards last week in their 59-45 win over Sam Houston State. On Saturday, Texas Tech gave up 414 total yards. Mahomes came out early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Red Raiders backup Davis Webb, who scored twice on rushing TDs, a 1-yarder and a 5-yarder. Stockman s touchdown pass from Mahomes showcased the sophomore s blistering speed. He caught the ball with at least four blockers near him and he sprinted past them and potential tacklers on his way into the end zone to give the Red Raiders a 17-7 lead in the first quarter. Grant, who almost matched his career-best game (155 yards on 12 catches) by halftime, got the first Red Raiders score. Mahomes found him wide open at the Miners 28, and Grant juked and darted left to outrun his defenders. Grant had 141 yards on seven catches at halftime and didn t catch any passes in the second half. Jones, the Miners leading rusher Saturday with 139 yards on 17 carries, returned to the field shortly after the beginning of the third quarter. He was on crutches and wearing a black boot on his left leg. SCORING SUMMARY QTR Time Team Scoring Play Drive / Time 1st 13:57 TTU Grant, J. 60 yd pass from Mahomes, P.

2015 TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL WEEK 10: WEST VIRGINIA GAME 3 TEXAS TECH 35, ARKANSAS 24 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Patrick Mahomes accounted for three touchdowns as Texas Tech remained unbeaten with a 35-24 non-conference win over reeling Arkansas on Saturday night. The win improves the Red Raiders (3-0) to 9-1 in nonconference action under coach Kliff Kingsbury, and it makes amends for a 49-28 loss to the Razorbacks a year ago. Donald W. Reynolds Stadium (73,334) September 19, 2015 SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FINAL Texas Tech 14 7 7 7 35 Arkansas 7 14 3 0 24 Mahomes finished 26-of-30 passing for 243 yards and a score, and he also rushed for 58 yards and a pair of touchdowns - leading a Texas Tech offense that finished with 486 total yards. Reginald Davis caught a pair of touchdowns, finishing with five catches for 115 yards. Alex Collins had 170 yards rushing on 28 carries to lead Arkansas (1-2), which is now 0-9 under coach Bret Bielema in games decided by fewer than 10 points. The Razorbacks gained 424 yards of total offense, including a 16-of-21 passing performance for 196 yards from quarterback Brandon Allen, but they were unable to rebound from last week s crushing loss to Toledo. Texas Tech, meanwhile, never punted while scoring touchdowns on five of its nine possessions. Its only four non-scoring drives ended with a pair of interceptions thrown by Mahomes, a missed 22-yard field goal and the game-ending series of kneel downs. The Red Raiders averaged 8.4 yards per play against an Arkansas defense that finished last season ranked 10th in the nation, and DeAndre Washington led the Texas Tech rushing attack with 75 carries on 11 carries. Arkansas rushed 68 times for 438 yards in a dominating 49-28 win at Texas Tech a year ago, but the Razorbacks entered Saturday struggling to establish their once-dominant running attack - particularly in a shocking 16-12 loss to Toledo a week ago. Led by Collins, Arkansas once again had its way with the Red Raiders 120th-ranked rushing defense in the first half. Collins had 92 of the Razorbacks 130 yards rushing in the half, helping a short-handed Arkansas offense hold the ball for 22:35 compared to just 7:25 for Texas Tech. The Razorbacks entered the game without injured wide receiver Keon Hatcher and Cody Hollister with foot injuries, and they lost another starter in the first quarter when Jared Cornelius appeared to break his left arm during a 34-yard catch and run. Despite the attrition, Allen threw a pair of touchdowns in the half - including a 24-yard strike to Drew Morgan late in the half to tie the game at 21-all. Texas Tech, meanwhile, made the most of its limited possession. The Red Raiders gained nearly 10 yards per play in the half - 243 on 25 plays - including a 72-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Jakeem Grant to Davis to go up 21-14 in the second quarter.

On fourth-and-goal from the 4, Trevone Boykin s pass was high to Josh Doctson, but he got a hand on it and Green grabbed the ball as he fell out of the end zone. A video review confirmed Green had control of the ball and got a foot in bounds.

He threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score for the Red Raiders (3-1, 0-1). TCU went ahead 48-45 on Kyle Hicks 21-yard run with 8:22 left. Texas Tech answered after two clutch third-down plays when Mahomes found Justin Stockton on a 50-yard scoring pass with 5:55 to go. The teams traded empty possession before the Horned Frogs started at their own 47 and drove downfield for the winning touchdown. The Red Raiders didn t give up after TCU scored. On the final play of the game - after time expired and a defensive penalty on TCU - Mahomes found DeAndre Washington for a 24-yard gain. He pitched it to a lineman, who pitched it to a receiver who got the ball to Jakeem Grant. He was pushed out of bounds at the TCU 10 to end the game. Washington ran for four touchdowns and a career-high 188 yards. Mahomes hurt his left knee early in the first quarter when he dove toward the end zone as he finished a 15-yard run. He got up limping but stayed in for the next play to hand the ball to Washington who scored on a 1-yard run. Texas Tech will continue Big 12 play when they host Baylor next week.

WEEK 10: WEST VIRGINIA 2015 TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL GAME 5 #5 BAYLOR 63, TEXAS TECH 35 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Seth Russell passed for 286 yards and four touchdowns and ran for two more scores, Shock Linwood rushed for a career-high 221 yards and two touchdowns and No. 5 Baylor began its bid for a third consecutive Big 12 championship with a 63-35 victory Saturday. Baylor (4-0, 1-0) entered with the FBS top offense AT&T Stadium (56,179) October 3, 2015 SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FINAL Texas Tech 14 7 7 7 35 Baylor 28 21 7 7 63 in scoring (64.0 points per game), total offense (767.0 yards per game) and rushing yards (379.7 per game). The Bears gained 680 yards, 368 rushing. Corey Coleman caught touchdown passes of 24, 16 and 16 yards. Russell was 15 for 23 with one interception. The Red Raiders (3-2, 0-2) dropped their second straight game after sweeping their nonconference opponents, They lost 55-52 to No. 4 TCU last week. Texas Tech s Patrick Mahomes was 32 of 50 for 415 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Mahomes hurt his left knee last week in the first quarter against TCU, was listed as day to day during the week, but started and played into the fourth quarter. Baylor went into the game as the only FBS school ranked in the top 10 in both rushing and passing offense. The Red Raiders entered ranked fifth in total offense (594.5 yards per game), third in scoring (53.8 points per game) but 122nd in total defense (556.3 yards per game). Linwood gained the fourth-most rushing yards in school history. His previous high was 187 against Texas Tech in 2013. Linwood scored on runs of 79 and 8 yards, both in the first half. The longer score came on the Bears third play from scrimmage, when he broke through the middle of the line, avoided one hand tackle and raced down the right sideline. Baylor gained 333 yards in the first quarter, 499 in the half and scored touchdowns on its first five possessions to build a 49-21 halftime lead. The Bears converted two of Texas Tech s four turnovers into touchdowns. The Bears are 4-0 for the third consecutive season for the first time since 1915-17. This 28-point win was their smallest margin of victory yet. Baylor has won five straight against Texas Tech, all at AT&T Stadium, averaging 58.4 points. The win gives the Bears a 37-36-1 edge in the series, which began in 1929. The Red Raiders came off the TCU loss, in which the Horned Frogs scored the winning touchdown on a tipped pass with 23 seconds to play. They faced top-5 opponents in consecutive weeks for the first time.

Grant had a career-high 166 yards on nine catches. He caught TD passes of 75 and 37 yards for Texas Tech (4-2, 1-2). It was Grant s third 100-plus-yard game this season.

The Red Raiders intercepted Cyclones quarterback Sam Richardson three times - two by J.J. Gaines - and Texas Tech scored touchdowns off two of them. Mahomes was sacked for only the second time this season when he was called for intentional grounding. Redshirt freshman Mike Warren had his third straight game of more than 100 yards for the Cyclones (2-3, 1-1), finishing with a career-high 245 yards on 23 carries. Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson completed 10 of 21 for 139 yards and three interceptions. He had three coming into the game. Joshua Thomas scored two rushing touchdowns for the Cyclones, each from a yard out. Texas Tech s 776 total yards was a school record. Red Raiders pass offense was the best in the country coming into the game but their receiving corps has thinned due to injuries. Ian Sadler and Devin Lauderdale, who have combined for five TDs and 527 yards, did not play. That gave true freshman Jonathan Giles opportunities he might not have had. He caught a 3-yard touchdown from Mahomes and a 21-yarder from backup Davis Webb who took over for Mahomes in the fourth quarter. Giles five catches and 59 yards receiving were career-highs. Mahomes completed 33 of 46 passes with no interceptions. The Red Raiders hadn t won a game since finishing up their nonconference schedule with a win at Arkansas in September. They then dropped games to then-no. 3 TCU - on a deflected reception in the end zone with 23 seconds remaining - before falling to then-no. 5 Baylor last week. Texas Tech scored on its first three possessions and led the whole way. The Red Raiders second touchdown came on the first play of a drive when Mahomes found Grant at the Texas Tech s own 40. Grant cut back to the middle of the field and used at least two blockers to get into the end zone. In the second quarter, Mahomes threw a screen pass on the far sideline to Washington, who cut back to the middle of the field and outran defenders to score.

2015 TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL WEEK 10: WEST VIRGINIA GAME 7 TEXAS TECH 30, KANSAS 20 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Patrick Mahomes threw for 354 yards and a score, De Andre Washington rushed for 157 yards and a TD and Texas Tech held off a latecharging, winless Kansas team 30-20 on Saturday. The Red Raiders (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) racked up 222 yards rushing and a touchdown on the ground. Texas Tech s 30 points were the least amount the team has scored all season. Memorial Stadium (25,186) October 17, 2015 SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FINAL Texas Tech 3 17 3 7 30 Kansas 0 0 6 14 20 Five different Texas Tech offensive playmakers recorded over 50 yards receiving. Zach Austin led the Red Raiders with 80 yards receiving, Jakeem Grant had 71 yards, Devin Lauderdale had 50, Cameron Batson, 58, and Reginald Davis, 57 yards and a score. Texas Tech continued its streak of perfection, as the Red Raiders are 9-0 inside Memorial Stadium, a record dating to 1966. Kansas (0-6, 0-3) is riding a nine-game losing streak and is 0-6 for the first time since 1988. Before this season, Kansas had only started 0-6 three times in program history, in 1954 and 1988. Head coach David Beaty is still waiting for his first win. Freshman quarterback Ryan Willis was 35 of 50 for a career-high 330 yards passing in his second start for the Jayhawks. Willis turned the ball over three times, throwing two picks and dropped a fumble. Running back De Andre Mann gained 107 yards on 15 carries. Kansas had its share of bloopers, most of those coming on special teams. Matthew Wyman missed an extra point attempt and two field goals, a 52-yard attempt and a 34-yard attempt, and Nick Bartolotta shanked a 22-yard field goal wide right. But Kansas wasn t going out without a fight. Kansas had back-to-back touchdowns in the fourth quarter to put them down by 3. With less than five minutes to go, Willis was backed up in his own end zone, which would have resulted in a safety, but he fumbled. Two Texas Tech defenders wrestled for the ball, but the ball rolled to Mann, who ran out of the end zone for a 4-yard gain. But the momentum quickly shifted. On the next play, Willis threw a pick-six and Kansas comeback hopes were dashed.
