This week in Texas Tech talk

The shows spent the week dealing with Texas Tech's loss to Cincinnati as an upset and questioning whether the Red Raiders' schedule luck had masked real problems. Texas Tech's secondary has taken heat for giving up 300-plus yard passing games, which could be tested this week against Arizona's Noah Fifita and the Wildcats' quick passing attack. The talk also touched on Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell's social media presence being a distraction from what coach Joey McGuire is trying to build.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

11 clips · 41 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Noah Fifita, Isaiah Mizell, Will Hammond, Dash Fifita, Cole Tabb, JC French.
