2013 Texas Tech Football 2013 SEASON IN REVIEW The Red Raider football team will makes its 36th bowl appearance in program history when it faces No. 16 Arizona State beneath the lights of Qualcomm Stadium in downtown San Diego in the National University Holiday Bowl set for Dec. 30. Upon returning to the South Plains where he helped launch the high-flying air raid offense as one of the top quarterbacks in program history, Kingsbury and the Red Raiders enter the Holiday Bowl with the No. 2 passing offense in the country averaging more than 390-yards per game. It’s an attack that mimics Tech’s only previous appearance in the Holiday Bowl in 2004 when the No. 23 Red Raiders, led by Sonny Cumbie at quarterback, upset No. 4 Cal in one of the most memorable bowl games in program history. Cumbie, after going 39-of-60 for a career high 520 yards, was named the Offensive Player of the Game as the Red Raiders piled up 576 total yards in the victory. Meanwhile, current Tech special teams coordinator and safeties coach Trey Haverty also caught eight passes for 147 yards to lead all receivers while Mike Smith – Tech’s current codefensive coordinator and linebackers coach – tallied four tackles on defense. Cumbie’s 520 yards still stands as a Texas Tech bowl record for most yards gained by a Red Raider while his 60 attempts also remain a record. Now, the Red Raiders make their return to the Holiday Bowl in search of their secondstraight 8-win season. Texas Tech’s 2013 season jumped out to a fast start as the Red Raiders took down SMU 41-23 in Dallas as Baker Mayfield became the first walk-on true freshman quarterback to start a season-opener for a BCS school. The Austin, Texas native completed 43-of-60 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns against the Mustangs in an effort that would earn the young freshman ESPN’s College Football Best Debut Award. His 43 completions broke the Texas Tech record for most by a Red Raider in a starting debut. The win proved to be quite the spark as Tech went on to win seven-straight games and climb into the top-10 of the national rankings appearing at No. 9 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, and debuting at No. 10 in the BCS Standings. That run included a thrilling 20-10 victory over No. 24 TCU in the Red Raiders’ Big 12 home opener at a raucous Jones AT&T Stadium. Another true freshman quarterback, this time Prosper, Texas native Davis Webb, provided the highlight of the game with a game-winning 19-yard pass to Bradley Marquez in the corner of the end zone. With the victory over the Horned Frogs, Tech moved to 3-0 on the season after handling Stephen F. Austin 61-13 the week prior. The Red Raiders carried that momentum forward to a 33-7 victory over Texas State - also at Jones AT&T Stadium - before facing its first Big 12 road test of the season against the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence. The Jayhawks jumped out to a 10-0 lead in front of a homecoming crowd at Memorial Stadium, but the Red Raiders quickly responded and did so emphatically. Mayfield connected on 33-of-51 passes for 368 yards before leaving the game with an injury. Webb didn’t miss a beat though throwing for two touchdown passes in backup duty, while the rushing attack of Kenny

Williams and DeAdre Washington combined for 64 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. The offensive attack totaled 54 unanswered points in the victory as Tech marched onward to its first 5-0 start and first 2-0 start to Big 12 play since the 2008 season. The Red Raiders returned home with a No. 20 national ranking and Webb, in his first career start, threw for 415 yards and three touchdowns as Texas Tech outlasted the Cyclones 42-35 to move to a perfect 6-0 on the season, and become the first Big 12 team to secure bowl eligibility. In the win, Tech also had three players rush for at least 80 yards for the first time since 1973. Furthermore, Kingsbury became the first Texas Tech coach in school history to win his first six games. Kingsbury and the Red Raiders climbed into the top-15 of the USA Today Coaches Poll as they made their first-ever trip to the state of West Virginia for a Big 12 battle with the Mountaineers in Milan Puskar Stadium. Webb continued to impress becoming the first true freshman quarterback in Tech history to surpass 400 passing yards in back-to-back starts as he threw for 462 on the day guiding the Red Raiders to a 37-27 come-from-behind victory over the Mountaineers. His passing total broke a school and Big 12 freshman record. Tech trailed 27-16 with four minutes remaining in the third quarter, but Kenny Williams rushed for two touchdowns and Webb connected with tight end Jace Amaro for a 10-yard touchdown to cap off the 21-point comeback effort. With the seventh-straight victory, Tech moved to 7-0 for just the fourth time in school history. Amaro, who later would be named a First Team All-American tight end, caught nine passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns becoming just the second Red Raider since 2000 with at least eight receptions in six straight-games. After debuting at No. 10 in the first edition of the BCS rankings, the Red Raiders suffered their first loss of season in a tough battle at No. 17 Oklahoma, 38-30. The game marked the first in the stretch of three top-20 opponents in four weeks. Tech returned home for a showdown with No. 12 Oklahoma State, but the Cowboys left Jones AT&T Stadium as the first team to defeat the Red Raiders on their home field in 2013 with a 52-34 victory. The slide would continue as the Red Raiders went on to drop games to Kansas State (49-26), No. 4 Baylor (63-34) and at Texas (41-16) with the final two coming away from home. The Red Raiders’ final regular season game snapped a streak of 26 consecutive games of scoring at least 20-points which dated back to 2011. Mayfield returned to the starting quarterback role against No. 4 Baylor, while the two combined for 4,630 passing yards on the season. Each have thrown for exactly 2,315 yards. Meanwhile Amaro, who was named a semifinalist for both the Biletnikoff and John Mackey awards, enters the postseason with 1,240 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He was named to seven midseason All-America teams while leading the Big 12 with 98 receptions. The Red Raiders will look for their ninth bowl victory since the 2000 season when Tech takes on No. 16 Arizona State in the 36th edition of the Holiday Bowl inside Qualcomm Stadium.

2013 Texas Tech Football 2004 HOLIDAY BOWL FLASHBACK BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer SAN DIEGO - Maybe Mack Brown isn’t such a villain, after all. If No. 4 California was angry and frustrated after being snubbed by the BCS and denied a Rose Bowl berth, it had to have been flat out humiliated after No. 23 Texas Tech pulled a 45-31 upset in the Holiday Bowl on Thursday night. The Golden Bears (10-2), who were 11-point favorites, simply had no answer against the Red Raiders (8-4) and their efficient spread offense, which uses four wide receivers most of the time. Tech senior Sonny Cumbie threw for a career-high 520 yards and three touchdowns, including a 60-yarder to Joel Filani, and safety Vincent Meeks set up a score with a 48-yard interception return. Cumbie was 39-of-60 and broke the Holiday Bowl attempts record of 59 set by BYU’s Ty Detmer in 1989. He was short of Detmer’s Holiday Bowl record of 576 yards, also set in 1989. Cal had been in position to go to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 46 seasons, but was leapfrogged in the final Bowl Championship Series standings by Brown’s Texas Longhorns, who ended up in Pasadena to face Michigan on Saturday. The day the BCS pairings were released, Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Brown “was a little classless” for begging for poll votes to help his Longhorns, and that the system was “faulty.” The Longhorns, by the way, beat Texas Tech 51-21 at Lubbock on Oct. 23. Texas Tech fans mocked Cal with chants of “Overrated!” in the closing minutes. Cal’s J.J. Arrington became just the third running back in Pac-10 history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. The senior from Nashville, N.C., carried 25 times for 173 yards, for 2,018 yards. Southern Cal’s Marcus Allen had 2,427 yards in 1981 and Charles White had 2,050 in 1979. Both won the Heisman Trophy. Arrington scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter, his 15th rushing TD of the season, a school record. He had been tied with Lindsey Chapman and Russell White. The Golden Bears were undisciplined on defense - they had two personal fouls on one Tech drive - and Rodgers looked confused at times. California was without career receptions leader Geoff McArthur, who broke his left leg in the fourth quarter of a 26-16 win at Southern Mississippi on Dec. 4.

Texas Tech (8-4) had four scoring drives that took less than two minutes each. Trailing 14-7 after the first quarter, the Red Raiders scored 24 straight points and had a commanding 31-14 lead by early in the third quarter. Cumbie threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jarrett Hicks for a 17-14 lead with 8:57 left before halftime. The short drive was set up by Meeks’ interception return. Tech piled it on with Taurean Henderson’s 2-yard run late in the second quarter and Cumbie’s 60-yard scoring pass to Filani on the opening drive of the second half for a 17-point lead. Filani caught the ball at the Cal 40 and raced past cornerback Daymeion Hughes into the end zone. Hicks also had a 9-yard TD catch in the first quarter. Rodgers threw an 11-yard TD pass to Garrett Cross and scored on a 1-yard TEAM STATISTICS TT CAL FIRST DOWNS....................................................................................... 30 27 RUSHES-YARDS (NET)......................................................................21-77 39-221 PASSING YDS (NET)............................................................................. 520 246 Passes Att-Comp-Int................................................................... 60-39-0 42-24-1 TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS.......................................................81-597 81-467 Fumble Returns-Yards........................................................................0-0 0-0 Punt Returns-Yards...........................................................................2-11 2-11 Kickoff Returns-Yards........................................................................5-96 7-126 Interception Returns-Yards..............................................................1-48 0-0 Punts (Number-Avg)......................................................................3-46.0 7-38.4 Fumbles-Lost.......................................................................................1-1 0-0 Penalties-Yards..................................................................................8-50 5-59 Possession Time.............................................................................. 28:41 31:19 Third-Down Conversions............................................................... 7 of 15 5 of 13 Fourth-Down Conversions.............................................................. 1 of 1 0 of 0 Red-Zone Scores-Chances...................................................................6-6 5-5 Sacks By: Number-Yards.....................................................................3-6 1-9

2013 Texas Tech Football ON THIS DATE IN TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL HISTORY Tech has played three bowl games on Dec. 30, and ironically the last time Tech played on Dec. 30 was in the Holiday Bowl in 2004 during a win over No. 4 Cal. Tech also played on Dec. 30 in 2003 during a 38-14 win over Navy in the Houston Bowl and first played on this date in 1972 in the Sun Bowl against No. 16 North Carolina during a 28-32 loss in El Paso. DECEMBER 30 (2-1 Overall; 0-0 Home; 0-0 Road; 2-1 Neutral) 2004 vs. No. 4 Cal W 45-31 Holiday Bowl 2003 vs. Navy W 38-14 Houston Bowl 1972 vs. No. 16 North Carolina L 28-32 Sun Bowl GOING BOWLING Texas Tech will be making its 36th bowl appearance in school history and its second in the Holiday Bowl. The 36 bowl trips ranks 17th nationally and is the third highest amongst Big 12 Conference teams. Only Texas (52 bowls) and Oklahoma (47 bowls) have made more postseason trips than the Red Raiders. In the 35 previous bowls, Texas Tech has compiled a 13-21-1 overall record and won its last three bowls (2009 Alamo, 2010 Ticket City and 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas), five of its last six and captured bowl wins in eight of its last 10 bowl games since 2002. TEXAS TECH 2004 HOLIDAY BOWL CHAMPS Texas Tech won its first and only appearance in the Holiday Bowl - a 2004 victory over No. 4 Cal. The Red Raiders, led by Bowl MVP quarterback Sonny Cumbie, trailed 14-7 after one quarter and followed with 24-unanswered points on their way to a 45-31 victory. Cumbie ended his collegiate career in style passing for a career-high 520 yards on 39-of-60 passing with three touchdowns while taking down Cal and future NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers (24-of-42, 246 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT). Tech receivers Trey Haverty (8 catches, 147 yards), Joel Filani (5 catches, 144 yards, TD) and Jarrett Hicks (9 catches, 69 yards, 2 TD) also helped lead the way. THE MATCHUP Tech and Arizona State will meet for the second time on Dec. 30 with the only previous meeting in the 1999 season opener in

Tempe when ASU defeated Tech, 31-13. During that game, Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury – a redshirt freshman at the time – made his collegiate debut in a backup role at quarterback (2of-5,15 pass yards) against ASU. TEXAS TECH VS. THE PAC-12 The Red Raiders are 37-17-2 all-time against current members of the Pac-12, with its most recent game against a league opponent coming in 2004 – also Tech’s first appearance in the Holiday Bowl – against No. 4 Cal, which Tech defeated 45-31. • Tech is 1-1 against Pac-12 opponents in bowl games, dropping the Cotton Bowl following the 1994 season to Southern California, 55-14. • Tech has played 10 of the current 12 members of the conference, with Stanford and UCLA as the only programs it hasn’t played. Colorado, who was an original member of the Big 12 Conference (1996), played its last season last season in the Big 12 in 2010, the same season Tech picked up its first and only win over Colorado in Boulder (27-24). • The Red Raiders most common opponent from the league is Arizona, who Tech leads 26-4-2 in the all-time series. • Tech has wins over the following league members: Oregon State (1-0), Washington State (2-0), Cal (1-0), Arizona (26-4-2), Utah (2-0) and Colorado (5-5). MODEL OF CONSISTENCY With a 7-5 overall record, the Red Raiders have assured themselves of a winning season for the 18th time in the last 19 years. That level of consistency is unmatched by any major program in the state of Texas. Tech had its Big 12 record of 16 consecutive winning seasons snapped in 2011 when the Red Raiders finished 5-7 overall under head coach Tommy Tuberville. • Additionally, Texas Tech is bowl eligible for the 20th time in the last 21 seasons. TEXAS TECH PASSING OFFENSE SETS BAR HIGH The Texas Tech offense is widely known as one of the most potent attacks in all of college football. Texas Tech is the only FBS program to rank among the top seven teams in the NCAA in passing during the last 13 years (2001-2013). Tech has led

the nation in passing six times (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008) and ranked second three times (2009, 2012, 2013) during that span. Tech ranked fifth in 2011 and third in 2006 while ranking seventh in 2010 and 2011. Since 2002, Texas Tech has finished in the top 15 nationally in total offense every season. No other Big 12 program has a streak longer than three years. ASU MARKS 31ST BOWL OPPONENT FOR TECH ALL-TIME Texas Tech enters this year’s bowl game having faced a total of 30 opponents in bowl games – including two from the Pac-12 (Cal, USC) while facing four opponents more than once with three games against Ole Miss (1986, 1998, 2008) and facing Minnesota (2006, 2012), Iowa (1996, 2001) and Georgia Tech (1965, 1970) twice each. TECH HEADS TO CALIFORNIA FOR THIRD BOWL GAME PLAYED BOWLS IN SEVEN STATES Texas Tech will be making its third appearance in a bowl game in California, after playing in the 2004 Holiday Bowl, and its first appearance in the Golden State, in the 1948 Raisin Bowl (lost 20-13 to San Jose State). Overall, the Red Raiders have played bowl games in seven different states. • Texas: 5-16 • Florida: 4-2 • Arizona: 2-0 • California: 1-1 • Louisiana: 0-2 • Alabama: 1-0 • Georgia: 0-0-1 STREAK OF FOUR STRAIGHT IN TEXAS SNAPPED The Red Raiders upcoming bowl appearance at the Holiday Bowl snaps a streak of four straight bowl games for Tech in the Lone Star state (2008 Cotton Bowl, 2009 Alamo Bowl, 2010 TicketCity Bowl, 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas) – which matched the longest streak of consecutive Texas bowl games for Tech in school history (1937 Sun Bowl, 1938 Cotton Bowl, 1941 Sun Bowl, 1947 Sun Bowl).

TWO NFL STADIUMS IN BACK-TO-BACK YEARS For the second straight season the Red Raiders will play in a pair of NFL stadiums, this year playing in AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) and Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego Chargers) for the bowl game. Last season the Red Raiders played at Cowboys Stadium and also Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans.

KLIFF KINGSBURY BIOGRAPHY liff Kingsbury (@TTUKingsbury), Texas Tech’s second all-time leading passer, returns to his alma mater and becomes the 15th head football coach in school history. At age 34, Kingsbury is the youngest head coach in a BCS conference and the second youngest in the FBS behind Toledo’s Matt Campbell. Texas Tech director of athletics Kirby Hocutt announced Kingsbury as the Red Raiders head coach on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012. Kingsbury returns home after a one-year stint as offensive coordinator at Texas A&M where he played a huge 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 Kliff Kingsbury Head Coach 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, 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. With Kingsbury calling the offensive plays, the Cougars averaged 599.1 total yards per game, including 450.1 through the air, while scoring over 49 points per game. The Cougars scored over 70 points in two games in 2011, and finished the season with a 30-14 win over Penn State in the TicketCity Bowl. Kingsbury was instrumental in the continued development of Keenum, who finished his illustrious career as the most prolific passer in NCAA FBS history. In his one season with Kingsbury as his QB coach, Keenum completed 428-of-604 passes for 5,631 yards and 48 touchdowns, all NCAA FBS bests. In his first season as QB coach at Houston in 2010, Kingsbury prepped a true freshman signal caller, David Piland, to an average of 330.1 yards passing per game, which ranked No. 3 nationally. He was named to the Sporting News Freshman All-America team. After an eight-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. A sixth-round draft pick in 2003 by the New England Patriots, Kingsbury played for five NFL teams and also saw action in the Canadian Football League and the All-American Football League. 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.

2013 Texas Tech Football WEBB BREAKS SEVEN BIG 12 FRESHMAN RECORDS Quarterback Davis Webb made an immediate impact during his first collegiate season as he broke seven school and Big 12 Conference freshman records – both single-season marks and single-game records. Webb – a true freshman – set the following Big 12 freshman records. • Passing Yards in a Single-Game: 462 (at West Virginia) • Passing Attempts in a Single-Game: 71 (vs. Oklahoma State) • Completions in a Single-Game: 45 (vs. Oklahoma State) • Total Offense in a Single-Game: 478 (at West Virginia) • Total Offensive Plays in a Single-Game: 75 (at West Virginia) • 300-Yard Passing Games: 5 • 400-Yard Passing Games: 3 AMARO/WARD 178 COMBINED RECEPTIONS The receiving duo of tight end Jace Amaro (98 receptions) and wide receiver Eric Ward (80) finished first and second in the Big 12 in receptions and also marked the most combined receptions (178) of any receiver duo in the five major BCS conferences in the country, including the Pac-12, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC. WARD NEARS RECORD FOR RECEPTIONS BY RECEIVER Senior Eric Ward enters his final game in a Red Raider uniform at the Holiday Bowl and will have the opportunity to leave Texas Tech with the most career receptions by any Tech receiver. Ward, who has 252 career receptions in 47 games is chasing current Denver Broncos receiver and former Tech legend Wes Welker who caught 259 passes during his four-year career from 2000-03. The all-time receptions record at Tech belongs to running back Taurean Henderson who made 302 receptions from 2002-05. AMARO CLOSES IN ON ALL-TIME NCAA (TE) RECORDS Jace Amaro is closing in on two all-time single-season NCAA records by a tight end in both receptions and receiving yards. Amaro enters the bowl game with 98 receptions and 1,240 receiving yards. The all-time NCAA record in these categories by a tight end is 111 receptions and 1,329 receiving yards – both are held by Rice tight end James Casey who set both records during the 2008 season. Amaro needs 14 receptions and 90 receiving yards to break both all-time records. Here are other records Amaro is closing in on: • Needs six yards to move past Danny Amendola (2007) into fourth place on the Tech single-season receiving yards list. • Needs 22 yards to move past Lloyd Hill (1992) into third place on the Texas Tech single-season receiving yards list. • Needs 61 yards to move past Joel Filani (2006) into second place on the Texas Tech single-season receiving yards list. • Needs one reception to move past Taurean Henderson (98) into third place on the Texas Tech single-season receptions list. • Needs 13 receptions to move past Danny Amendola (2007) into second place on the Tech single-season receptions list. SMITH FINISHES SENIOR CAMPAIGN STRONG Senior linebacker Will Smith is having an impressive final collegiate campaign leading the Red Raiders and ranking third in the Big 12 with 106 tackles. Smith also has five sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries and two pass breakups. • Recorded a career-high 18 tackles in the regular season finale at Texas. It was the most tackles by a Red Raider in a singlegame since 2005 (Dwayne Slay, 18 at Baylor). • He has either led or tied for the team lead in tackles in 8-of-12 games this season. • His 106 total tackles are the most by a Red Raider during a regular season since 2005 (All-American Dwayne Slay - 114). • Became the first Red Raider to have six straight games with

at least eight tackles since 2002 (Lawrence Flugence - 9 straight games). • Enters the Holiday Bowl with 34 tackles in his last two games (18 at Texas/16 vs. Baylor) - the most by a Red Raider since 2002 (Flugence, 36). BUSTIN CLOSING IN ON SEVERAL SCHOOL RECORDS Ryan Bustin, who broke the school’s single-season field goals record in just the ninth game of the season, is closing in on several other all-time Texas Tech single-season field goal records. Bustin is 22-of-26 in field goal tries this season needing just one field goal attempt to set a new all-time record. His current field goal percentage of .846 is already better than the all-time record of .824 of Lin Elliot who made 14-of-17 tries in 1990 – a record that has stood for the past 23 years. Bustin became the first kicker in school history to be named to the Lou Groza Award semifinalist list. RYAN BUSTIN SCHOOL RECORDS • Single-Game Points (Kicking): 18 (4 FG, 6 PAT) at KU (2013) • Single-Game Field Goals Made: 4 (2x in 2013) – 12x history • Single-Season Points Scored by a Junior: 114 (2013) • Single-Season Points (Kicking): 114 (2013) • Single-Season Field Goals Made: 22 (2013) RED RAIDERS IN THE STARTING LINEUP • Senior DL Kerry Hyder leads all active Red Raiders with 40 career starts and 37 consecutive starts. • Senior WR Eric Ward leads all active Red Raiders on offense with 35 career starts. • Sophomore OL Le’Raven Clark has the most consecutive starts by an active Red Raider on offense (25). • Tech has seven players on defense that have started every game this season (Hyder, Porter, Eguavoen, Smith, Jones, Jackson, Robertson). • The Red Raiders have four players on offense that have started all 12 games this year (Clark, Marquez, Kaster, Fortenberry). • A total of 18 players have started on defense while 19 players have made starts on offense.

Additionally the stadium record was set twice during the year - first against Texas State (60,997) and then again last week against Oklahoma State (61,836). • Texas Tech also set a new all-time attendance record for student attendance with an average of 11,249 this season in six home games. RED RAIDERS KNOW OFFENSE When it comes to offense, Texas Tech alums know something about it.

Texas Tech students showed a national television audience on ESPN just how enthusiastic they are for this new era of Texas Tech Football. A total 16,092 students rolled through the gates to set a new school record that topped the one set the previous Saturday against Stephen F. Austin. Against SFA, 14,915 attended the game which broke the previous record of 12,910 against SMU in the 2010 opener. DEFENSE KEYS WIN OVER TCU Texas Tech fans witnessed one of the best defensive performances in recent memory in Thursday night’s win over TCU. In the post-game news conference, Coach Kingsbury called the performance “the best defensive performance I have been a part of since I’ve been a coach.” Tech’s defensive performance held TCU to just 10 points despite compiling 401 yards of offense. • Texas Tech held TCU scoreless in the first quarter and the last time the Red Raiders held an opponent scoreless in the first quarter was against New Mexico in 2012. The last time that happened in a Big 12 Conference game was against Missouri in 2011. • The Red Raiders held TCU scoreless in the first half marking the first time for Tech since 2010 (vs. Weber State)... It was the first time Tech held a Big 12 opponent scoreless in the first half since 2009 (vs. K-State). • Texas Tech held TCU scoreless for the first 37:49 of the game ... the last time Tech held an opponent scoreless for a longer period of time was against SMU in 2008. In that game, the Red Raiders held SMU scoreless for 46:56. • The 10 points allowed by the Texas Tech defense is the fewest in a Big 12 Conference game since 2007 when the Red Raiders defeated Texas A&M 35-7. • Senior linebacker Will Smith finished the game with a career high nine tackles. His previous career high of eight was set in the bowl game last year against Minnesota. MAYFIELD MAKES HISTORY IN DEBUT AT SMU Freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield entered the history books on Friday night by making the start against SMU in the season opener. Mayfield became the first true freshman to start a season opener for Texas Tech and it is believed that he is the first true freshman walk-on that has ever started a season-opener at quarterback for a BCS program. The last true freshman to start a game for Texas Tech was Aaron Keesee in 1984. Keesee made his first start against Arkansas on Oct. 13, 1984, and kept the starting job for the remainder of the season. Ron Reeves was the first true freshman in school history to earn a starting role as he did so against Baylor on Sept. 29, 1978. Career Debut

• Passed for 413 yards on 43-of-60 passing with four touchdowns through the air and one rushing touchdown without throwing an interception in career debut in season opener at SMU (8/30). • ESPN College Football: Best Debut Award TEXAS TECH RECORDS • 43 completions in a starting debut (previous record was 40 by current offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie against SMU in 2004). • 413 passing yards on the road for a freshman. • 429 yards of total offense for a freshman. WHERE HIS DEBUT RANKS • 413 passing yards and 43 completions both ranked second in the country among all FBS quarterbacks following week 1 of the season. • Became the fifth Red Raider to pass for over 400 yards in a career debut (Cumbie, Hodges, Potts, Sheffield). • Became the fifth Tech quarterback to throw for at least four touchdowns in a career debut (Cumbie, Hodges, Harrell, Sheffield). • 60 passing attempts ranks second in school history for a quarterback making a debut start (Sonny Cumbie – 66, vs. SMU, 2004). • 413 passing yards rank 52nd all-time in school history for a single game and 17th all-time on the road. • 413 passing yards ranks second in school history by a freshman (Billy Joe Tolliver – 422, vs. TCU, 1985). BACKGROUND Baker Mayfield, QB, 6-2, 220, Austin, Texas (Lake Travis HS) • Enrolled at Texas Tech in the fall of 2013 • Led Lake Travis to a 25-2 record during two seasons as the starting quarterback, including a perfect 16-0 season in 2011 and a state championship. • Threw for 6,255 yards in two seasons at Lake Travis. • Turned down scholarship offers from Washington State, Florida Atlantic and Rice. TECH’S LAST TRUE FRESHMAN QB Aaron Keesee, QB, 6-1, 170, Ballinger, Texas (Ballinger HS) • Was a true freshman and scholarship player for the 1984 season. • Took over as quarterback during the second half of the Texas A&M game in College Station (W, 30-12) during week 4 of the season… Tech was 2-2 following the A&M win. • Named AP SWC Offensive Player of the Week after passing for 3 TD and rushing for one against A&M. • Became the first Tech freshman quarterback ever to pass for three touchdowns in one game. • Started the rest of the season. • Team finished 4-7 overall and 2-6 in the SWC. • 1984 Stats: 10 games, 70-of-140 (.500 comp %), 755 passing yards, 6 TD, 7 INT, 55-yard pass (longest pass reception of the season) *** Billy Joe Tolliver was redshirted during the 1984 season and then took over as the starting QB the following season in 1985 as Tech’s second-ever four-year starting quarterback.

2013 Texas Tech Football MAYFIELD NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK Following his strong performance at SMU, Baker Mayfield was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week. It marks the first time that a Tech player has taken home the weekly honor in the first week of the season since Carlos Francis did so in 2000. The last freshman quarterback at Tech to win a Big 12 Player of the Week award following his debut was none other than Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury took home that honor in 1999 after a win over Oklahoma in Tech’s season finale (his first career start). CAPTAINS NAMED FOR 2013 Texas Tech Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury announced his 2013 captains just before the season opener against SMU. Serving as permanent captains this season are Eric Ward (Wide Receiver), Kenny Williams (Running Back), Kerry Hyder (Defensive Line) and Terrance Bullitt (Linebacker). Each week a member of the special teams unit will serve as a game captain as a reward for their performance in the previous game. EXPERIENCE ON THE SIDE OF THE DEFENSE When it comes to experience, the Texas Tech defense has the market cornered. On the defensive side of the football, Tech returned 158 career starts compared to just 79 career starts on offense. Breaking that number down even further, the Tech defense returned 85 total starts from the 2012 season compared to 61 starts from the offense. DEFENSE LOOKING FOR STABILITY First-year defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt is looking to bring some stability to the Red Raider defense. Wallerstedt will be the fifth defensive coordinator at Texas Tech in the last five years. Ruffin McNeil, now the head coach at East Carolina, was the last defensive leader to stay more than one season. Following McNeil’s departure in 2009, Tech defenses have been led by James Willis (2010), Chad Glasgow (2011) and Art Kaufman (2012). Wallerstedt spent the 2012 season as the linebacker coach at Texas A&M after moving from the Air Force Academy where he served as defensive coordinator and associate head coach for four seasons. TECH OFFENSE PACKS A PUNCH The Texas Tech offense is widely known was one of the most potent attacks in all of college football. With the return of Kliff Kingsbury, Red Raider fans are eager to see what offensive records will soon be shattered. • Texas Tech is the only BCS program to rank among the top seven teams in the NCAA in passing during the last 12 years (2001-12). • Tech has led the nation in passing six times (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008) and ranked second twice (2009, 2012) during that span... The Red Raiders ranked fifth in 2001 and third in 2006 while ranking seventh in 2010 and 2011. • Since 2002, Texas Tech has finished in the top 15 nationally in total offense. No other Big 12 team has a streak longer than three years.

KINGSBURY IS THE YOUNGEST COACH IN THE BCS At the age of 34, Kliff Kingsbury is the youngest head coach in the BCS and the third youngest coach in the FBS. With just five years of collegiate coaching experience, he quickly rose through the ranks and was named head coach at Texas Tech on Dec. 12, 2012.

TECH HELMETS REACH A MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY The iconic Double T on the Texas Tech football helmet has reached its 50th anniversary. The Double T, one of the most recognizable brands in all of college sports, was first placed on a Tech football helmet back in 1963 by then head coach JT King. Prior to the 1963 season, the player’s numbers had traditionally been placed on each side of the helmet.

HYDER, CLARK EARN PRESEASON ACCOLADES Senior defensive lineman Kerry Hyder has been named to the preseason watch lists for the Outland, Lombardi and Nagurski trophies while sophomore offensive lineman Le’Raven Clark has earned a spot on the Outland and Lombardi list. Hyder, a senior from Austin, had a strong junior season and that landed him numerous postseason accolades in 2012 and has him projected as one of the top defensive lineman in the nation in 2013. Last season, he picked up several first team All-Big 12 honors by numerous publications after posting 56 total tackles with 14 for loss. His 14 tackles for loss ranked him fifth in the Big 12 Conference and his five and a half sacks placed him seventh in the league. He logged 10.5 of his 14 tackles for loss in conference play and that put him in third place in the Big 12. Clark, a sophomore from Rockdale, is coming off a stellar freshman season that earned him First-Team Freshman AllAmerica honors by the FWAA and Second Team Freshman AllAmerica honors by Scout.com. He started all 13 games in 2012 and was part of an offensive line that helped pave the way for a running back corp that rushed for 1,674 yards - the most by Tech since the 1998 season. TECH ENTERS 2013 WITH NO QUARTERBACK STARTS Entering the 2013 season, Texas Tech was one of 11 schools nationally that did not have a quarterback on its roster with at least one career start. Baker Mayfield started the season for Texas Tech in the opener at SMU.

KINGSBURY ERA BEGINS WITH A WIN IN DALLAS For the second time in four years, a Texas Tech head football coach made his debut against the SMU Mustangs. Tommy Tuberville made his coaching debut in a 35-27 win over SMU at Jones AT&T Stadium in 2010. Kingsbury is the 15th head coach

Under Armour, the exclusive apparel provider for Texas Tech Athletics, has given Red Raider Football uniform options that are both rich in tradition and in line with the latest fashion trend in college football. Coach Kingsbury has a clause in his contract that gives him “creative license in the design of the football team’s equipment and team uniforms.” Facts On This Year’s Uniforms • Under Armour and Tech partnered to develop a new uniform design to usher in a new TTU football era with Coach K. • The inset shape on the new jersey was designed to replicate the “guns up” sign given by TTU supporters, players and staff. Since the team is being led by a former Red Raider, it felt like the right time to have a uniform inspired by their unique sign –[2] guns up. • The shape of the insets at the front shoulders replicate the left and right hands giving the signs of guns up – the shorter insets (closer to collar) represent the thumb, while the longer (outer) insets represent the index finger • This uniform was designed to be consistent not only from jersey to pant, but from base layer, helmet, and sock. Hence the striping detail on each match. • Pant and baselayer call out “GUNS UP”

Taking the reigns as the 52nd Masked Rider in school history is Corey Waggoner of Lubbock. Waggoner is the first rider from Lubbock since Katie Carruth (2001-02) and the just the seventh in program history. Texas Tech is also introducing a new horse this season as “Fearless Champion” takes over for Midnight Matador who was retired midway through the 2012 season. Midnight Matador served the Masked Rider program for 11 seasons and was the longest tenured horse in the history of the program. REMEMBERING JOE KIRK FULTON Texas Tech will pay tribute this season to the first Masked Rider in program history – Joe Kirk Fulton. Fulton passed away on Aug. 3 at the age of 81. The Masked Rider tradition, one of the greatest in all of college sports, was born in the 1954 Gator Bowl when Fulton led the team onto the field on a jet black horse while wearing a black hat, mask and scarlet cape. In the game story the following day, a writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution said, “No team in any bowl game ever made a more sensational entrance.”

DALLAS, Texas - Baker Mayfield, believed to be the first walk-on true freshman quarterback to start a season opener for a BCS school, threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns while running for another score as Texas Tech beat SMU 41-23 on Friday night. It was quite a debut for the 18-year-old Mayfield and new Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, the former Red Raiders quarterback and at 34 the youngest coach at a BCS school. Mayfield, who completed 43 of 60 passes, made a nifty cut to avoid a defender on his 11-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter before throwing two TDs in the final 6 minutes - 3 yards to Jakeem Grant and 22 yards to Reginald Davis, who caught the pass near the line of scrimmage on the right side and ran across the field, breaking two tackles before scoring. Texas Tech has won 15 games in a row against its former Southwest Conference rival. SMU has lost 17 in a row against Big 12 teams since a win over Kansas in the 2000 opener that was the first game played in its current stadium. With presumed starter Michael Brewer dealing with a back issue, the Red Raiders knew they would be starting a freshman in an opener for the first time in school history. When Mayfield started ahead of Davis Webb, the appearance was even more historic. Mayfield certainly seemed at ease under the Friday night lights - just like the past two seasons as a starter at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, while winning a state championship. The 43 completions were the most by a Texas Tech quarterback in his career start. That is the same high school where SMU’s Garrett Gilbert won two state titles. Gilbert, starting his second season as a graduate student at SMU, completed 41 of 62 passes for 388 yards. He scrambled 23 yards for a touchdown with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, but the Mustangs didn’t get in the end zone again until Prescott Line’s 2-yard run with 1:05 left in the game. Gilbert transferred to SMU from Texas, where he played in the BCS championship game as a freshman four seasons ago against Alabama when he took over for an injured Colt McCoy. He started all 12 games for the Longhorns in 2010 and got a medical redshirt after starting only two games in 2011 before a shoulder injury. Kingsbury threw for 12,429 yards and 95 TDs in 43 games with the Red Raiders from 1999-2002. Last season, he was Texas A&M’s offensive coordinator with Heisman Trophy-winning freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel. The last time Texas Tech has played a regular season game on a Friday was in 2002, when Kingsbury threw for 407 yards and six touchdowns in a 49-0 win at New Mexico. Both teams had 14-play opening drives that ended with field goals. Baker was 7-of-9 passing for 46 yards on his first series, the last pass a drop by Davis near the 10 that would have been a first down. Baker was sacked on the next play before Ryan Bustin kicked a 43-yard field goal. The Mustangs then got to the 10 before Chase Hover’s 27-yard field goal. Hover also had kicks of 34 and 51 yards before halftime, but was wide right on a 27-yard attempt to end the first drive of the third quarter. After that short miss, Tech drove 80 yards in 13 plays with Mayfield throwing a 10-yard TD to Brad Marquez for a 20-9 lead.

LUBBOCK, Texas - Baker Mayfield threw for three touchdowns and 367 yards -- all in the first half -- and Kenny Williams rushed for two more scores as Texas Tech beat Stephen F. Austin 61-13 on Saturday night. Mayfield, a walk-on freshman, threw TD passes of 42, 25 and 60 yards. He completed 21 of 30 passes. His favorite receiver, Jace Amaro, finished with eight catches for 142 yards and a touchdown. Williams’ scores of 1 and 18 yards came in the first quarter. Stephen F. Austin (0-2) couldn’t keep up with the prolific offense of the Red Raiders (2-0). The closest the Lumberjacks were was 14-7 after 75-yard pass from wide receiver Tyler Boyd to Mike Brooks, who scampered untouched along the sideline for the score. The start of the game was delayed about 45 minutes because of lightning in the area. The Red Raiders offense, which scored on their first four possessions, struck the balance that first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury has been seeking. Texas Tech finished with 731 total yards, rushing for 237 and passing for 494. Jakeem Grant put Texas Tech on the scoreboard first when Mayfield found him in the flat on the near sideline and he ran it in from 42 yards. Amaro, who also didn’t play in the second half, pulled in a 25-yard touchdown when Mayfield found him wide open over the middle at about the 15-yard line and he ran it in untouched to make it 21-7. Bradley Marquez, who finished with 94 yards on two receptions, caught a 60-yard TD pass from Mayfield in the second quarter that helped push the lead to 45-7 at the half. Mayfield adds a dimension to Texas Tech’s offense that it hasn’t had in more than a decade. He rushed for 66 yards on nine carries. On the ensuing kick Carlos Thompson, a true freshman receiver, returned the ball 67 yards to set up a 5-yard score by Quinton White to put the Red Raiders up 54-7. Minden got the only TD for the Lumberjacks in the second half, hitting Marquis Mosley on a 36-yard score midway through the fourth quarter to make it 61-13. SFA was unsuccessful in going for a two-point conversion. Mayfield’s performance in the first quarter was a carryover from his fourth-quarter performance last week in Red Raiders 41-23 win at SMU. In that game he completed 15 of 18 passes for 175 yards and two TDs. His first quarter Saturday night he completed 13 of 15 for 191 yards and two touchdowns. Davis Webb, another true freshman, took over for the Red Raiders in the second half. His first series ended on an interception by Patrick Brown on the Lumberjacks’ 4. Near the end of the third quarter he got his first TD pass, hitting Reginald Davis on a 23-yard scoring strike to put the Red Raiders up 61-7. The Red Raiders, who got just 11 turnovers all last season to finish near the bottom of the nation’s 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools, came up with their first of the season against the Lumberjacks. A fumble recovery by Jackson Richards in the first quarter led to Williams’ second score. It was the first forced fumble and recovery by the defense since 2011 against Baylor.

LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech backup quarterback Davis Webb practiced taking snaps and going to his knee in a victory formation along the sideline while his defense was on the field. Webb had just thrown his first touchdown pass, a 19-yarder to Bradley Marquez that broke a tie with 3:48 remaining and sent the Red Raiders to a 20-10 victory over No. 24 TCU on Thursday night. The victory formation wasn’t overconfidence. The freshman had just never won a college football game before. Webb came on after freshman walk-on Baker Mayfield left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury to his left knee or ankle. Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury doesn’t make freshmen available to the media. The score came after the Red Raiders (3-0, 1-0 Big 12) thought they’d scored on a 49-yard TD pass from Webb to DeAndre Washington, but he dropped the ball at the half-yard line. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty took them back to the TCU 14. Two plays later, Webb

hit Marquez. TCU (1-2, 0-1) scored its only touchdown when B.J. Catalon ran in from 17 yards to make it 10-all with 6:28 remaining. TCU’s Trevone Boykin went 23 for 36 for 194 yards and two interceptions. He rushed for a career-high 101 yards on 20 carries. Mayfield went 21 of 40 for one touchdown and 216 yards. He threw three interceptions. Webb went 3 for 4 for 77 yards and a touchdown. Ryan Bustin made a 37-yard field goal to put the game out of reach with 2:43 remaining. The Horned Frogs had their chances. A 69-punt return for an apparent touchdown by Brandon Carter in the fourth quarter was called back after officials ruled he’d signaled for a fair catch. The Horned Frogs had 13 penalties for 115 yards. Carter had another punt return wiped out -- a 28-yarder in the third quarter on a clipping penalty. Mayfield threw his third interception early in the fourth quarter off a tipped ball and into the hands of Derrick Kindred. But TCU got no points off it when Jaden Oberkrom missed wide right on a 55-yard field goal try. Boykin scrambled for a first down on a 30-yard run to the Red Raiders 32 late in the third quarter, but Jackson Richards intercepted his pass shortly after and returned it 20 yards. Jace Amaro caught nine passes for 97 yards to lead Texas Tech. Eric Ward, the Red Raiders’ leading receiver coming into the game, went without a catch. He was covered most of the night by Jason Verrett, TCU’s standout defensive back. Texas Tech went up 10-0 in the first quarter, but both teams’ second quarters were plagued with penalties and punts by both teams. Mayfield found Kenny Williams in the flat along the near sideline on the Red Raiders’ initial series, and he picked up some blocks and evaded at least one tackler to score a 50-yard touchdown. After the Red Raiders stalled at TCU’s 22 on their third possession, Bustin kicked a 39-yard field goal to put Texas Tech up 10-0. Mayfield threw interceptions in three different quarters, but TCU failed to capitalize on either. Boykin was stymied on the ground and through the air and failed to get the Horned Frogs going.

SCORE BY QUARTERS Texas State Texas Tech

LUBBOCK, TEXAS - Kliff Kingsbury is glad Texas Tech’s defense is stepping up, especially when the Red Raiders’ offense struggled like it did Saturday night. Backup quarterback Davis Webb threw for two touchdowns and 310 yards for Texas Tech. He threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ward in the third quarter and a 10-yarder to Bradley Marquez in the fourth after Texas State failed on a fake punt deep in its own territory. Webb finished 19 for 43 and had two interceptions. Texas Tech’s defense got the lone touchdown of the first half when linebacker Will Smith returned a fumble 9 yards. Ryan Bustin added four field goals for the Red Raiders (4-0). Texas State (2-1) struggled against a stingy Red Raiders defense that gave up only 232 total yards. Bobcats running back Robert Lowe scored on a 49-yard run -- a career-long rush for the sophomore. Bobcats quarterback Tyler Arndt was responsible for two of the team’s three turnovers. He was 12 for 23 for 108 yards. Texas Tech finished with 552 total yards. Jace Amaro caught nine passes for 86 yards and Marquez caught six passes for 84 yards to lead the Red Raiders. Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was replaced by Webb early in the second quarter, returned to the game late in the fourth quarter. He was 14 for 20 for 124 yards and one interception. On the Bobcats’ opening possession of the second half Lowe’s run pulled Texas State within 13-7. Lowe went up the middle before cutting to the far sideline, and he evaded a couple of tacklers once he got inside the 10-yard line. An ensuing onside kick initially was ruled recovered by the Bobcats but they touched the ball before it had gone 10 yards, so the Red Raiders took over on Texas State’s 44. Webb found Marquez for a 39-yard reception before the 4-yard TD that put Texas Tech up 20-7. Texas State had just one turnover coming into the game. By halftime the Bobcats had lost two fumbles and Arndt was intercepted by Pete Robertson at the Red Raiders 1-yard line in the first quarter. On its ensuing possession Mayfield moved the Red Raiders to the Texas State 46 and then was intercepted by Xavier Daniels. Four plays later Arndt fumbled and it was recovered by Terrance Bullitt at the Red Raiders 33. Texas Tech held the Bobcats from getting into the end zone when Texas State had first-and-goal from the Red Raiders 1. On the first play of Webb’s second series, Justin Iwuji intercepted him at the Texas Tech 35 and returned it to the 11. After getting a first down at the Red Raiders 1, Texas Tech held the Bobcats from getting into the end zone for four plays, preventing them from cutting into the Red Raiders’ 10-0 lead. Arndt couldn’t complete a pass to Brandon Smith on fourthand-goal and the Red Raiders took over on downs. Texas State running back Terrance Franks fumbled at the Bobcats’ 9-yard line and Smith scooped it up and went in for the score to put the Red Raiders up 10-0 early in the second quarter. The Bobcats had taken over after Mayfield ran the ball and lost a yard on fourth-and-1.

0-1). Backup Davis Webb threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ward and a 4-yard scoring pass to Dylan Cantrell. The Red Raiders also scored twice on short runs by DeAndre Washington while rolling up 518 total yards on an exhausting 100 plays. The turning point may have come with about 5 minutes left in the second quarter when the score was tied 10-all and Kansas punter Trevor Pardula, facing a fourth-and-12 from the Kansas 17, fielded the snap but took off running. The junior kicker, who two weeks earlier averaged a school-record 57.6 yards on five punts, was tackled on the 16 and a moment later Mayfield scored on a 19-yard quarterback draw. Eric Ward caught seven balls for 122 yards, tight end Jace Amaro caught nine for 96 and Jakeem Grant added seven catches for 92 yards for Tech. Ryan Bustin kicked four field goals for the Red Raiders, making him 13 for 15 in five games. Tech tied it 10-all on Kenny Williams’ 1-yard run midway through the second quarter on a 42-yard drive aided by two key Kansas penalties. A roughing-the-passer infraction on defensive end Kevin Young gave Tech a first down on the 14,ans then Dexter McDonald was flagged for pass interference in the end zone. Bustin made a 23-yarder to get the Red Raiders going in the second. He also had a 25-yarder as time ran out in the second quarter, giving Texas Tech a 20-10 halftime lead. In each instance, the Red Raiders failed to reach the end zone after driving to first-and-goal from inside the 10. Tech had a first down on the 8 but JaCorey Shepherd broke up Mayfield’s third-down pass in the end zone. Mayfield connected for two long gainers in the final minutes of the half, giving Tech a first down on the Kansas 2. But three straight running plays lost 2 yards and Bustin was called in to kick his second field goal. The Jayhawks seized a 10-0 homecoming lead in the first quarter on a 36-yard field goal by Matthew Wyman and Jake Heaps’ 25-yard TD pass to Jimmay Mundine. It was the first points the Jayhawks had scored in the first quarter all year and the first time the Red Raiders trailed. On the 79-yard touchdown drive, the Jayhawks were flagged five yards for false starts on back-to-back plays, resulting in a third-and-12 from the 50. But Heaps hit Tony Pierson for a 25-yard gain and then connected with Mundine on the next play.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - The game against Iowa State was Davis Webb’s first start and his coach liked what he saw. Webb, Texas Tech’s backup quarterback, threw for three touchdowns and 415 yards in place of the injured Baker Mayfield to lead No. 20 Texas Tech over Iowa State 42-35 on Saturday. Webb was 35 for 56 with an interception andKenny Williams,DeAndre Washington and SaDale Foster each ran for a score for Texas Tech (6-0, 3-0 Big 12). The Red Raiders are bowl eligible at their earliest date since 2008 in their first season under coach Kingsbury. The Cyclones (1-4, 0-2) got a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from Jarvis West and 12 points off three turnovers by the Red Raiders. The Cyclones pulled within 42-35 on a touchdown pass from Sam Richardson to E. J. Bibbs with less than 2 minutes left. Richardson was 15 for 38 for 168 yards and a touchdown. Mayfield twisted his right knee in last week’s win at Kansas. In addition to Webb there’s redshirt sophomoreMichael Brewerin the mix. Brewer reinjured his back but played in late in last week’s win. The same questions about who will start will be back for next week’s game at West Virginia, Kingsbury said. Kingsbury doesn’t let his freshman talk to the media. Mayfield and Webb have each thrown five interceptions. The Red Raiders finished with a season-high 251 yards rushing, with Washington, Williams and Foster each gaining at least 80. Jace Amarocaught nine passes for 143 yards. It was the first time in 25 games that the Cyclones allowed an opponent to score more than 40 points. That was the longest active streak in the Big 12. Rhoads thought the turnovers gave the Cyclones a chance to win. Texas Tech scored four out of five times it got into the red zone. Texas Tech went up for good in the third quarter on a 12-yard touchdown catch byBradley Marquez. After Marquez’ touchdown, the Red Raiders appeared to score again on a fumble return bySam Eguavoenafter Richardson lost the ball at the Cyclones 35. But officials reviewed the play and ruled Richardson was attempting a side-arm pass. Iowa State had just 139 total yards at halftime, to 354 by Texas Tech. But big special teams plays kept the Cyclones in the game. West returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. It was the first non-onside kick return for a touchdown for Iowa State since 1994. In the second quarter, an Iowa State punt hit Texas Tech’sKeenon Warddownfield. It was recovered for the Cyclones by Levi Peters, and a few plays later Aaron Wimberly scored on a 4-yard run off the option pitch from Richardson to make it 14-14.

LAWRENCE, Kan. - How costly Texas Tech’s 54-16 victory over Kansas is going to be is not yet known. Minutes after the No. 20 Red Raiders scored 54 straight points to swamp the hapless Jayhawks and remain unbeaten, coach Kliff Kingsbury said he could not be sure how badly quarterback Baker Mayfield was hurt. The true freshman had already passed for 368 yards when he was helped off the field with just seconds to go in the third quarter. Mayfield has started every game for the Red Raiders (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) who are 5-0 for the first time since 2008 and possibly poised for a breakthrough season behind a true freshman walk-on. Mayfield was hurt when tackled while passing. There was no penalty. He hobbled very slowly off the field with someone helping him under each arm. He was 33 of 51 with one interception. With Mayfield in command after Kansas took a 10-0 lead, the Red Raiders surged, and went to 14-1 all-time against the Jayhawks (2-2,

MORGANTOWN - W.Va. - With many solid quarterbacks that have worn a Texas Tech uniform, Davis Webb made Red Raiders history in his first road start. Webb became the first Texas Tech freshman to surpass 400 yards passing in his first two starts, throwing for 462 yards in the 16thranked Red Raiders’ 37-27 win over West Virginia on Saturday. Texas Tech (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) scored 21 unanswered points after falling behind by double digits late in the third quarter to move into sole possession of first place in the conference. At a school that’s seen three different quarterbacks reach 5,000 yards passing in a season - including head coach Kliff Kingsbury - and three others surpass 4,000 yards, those passers accomplished little as freshmen or redshirt freshmen. Webb broke the school freshman single-game record of 422 yards set by Billy Joe Tolliver against TCU in 1985 and surpassed the 415 yards Webb had last week against Iowa State. For the day, Webb completed 36 of 50 passes, including a pair of 10-yard scoring passes to tight end Jace Amaro. Fellow Texas Tech freshman Baker Mayfield, who missed his second straight game with a twisted knee, had 413 and 367 yards in his first two games this season, respectively. Texas Tech’s Ryan Bustin kicked three field goals and Kenny Williams had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs, including the go-ahead score with 9:20 left in the game. Dreamius Smith ran for two touchdowns for the Mountaineers (3-4, 1-3), who punted on four straight possessions in the second half to let Texas Tech take over. Kingsbury was the Red Raiders’ quarterback from 1999-02. Holgorsen was the team’s wide receivers coach from 200004 and added offensive coordinator duties from 2005-07. Holgorsen is credited with helping Kingsbury join him on Kevin Sumlin’s staff at Houston in 2008. West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett, starting his third straight game, continued to be plagued by accuracy troubles and a habit of floating the ball up for grabs downfield. His receivers bailed him out at times and he finished 27-of-43 for 254 yards. Instead, West Virginia found success in its running game against the Big 12’s top rush defense. West Virginia found the end zone on its first two drives of the second half. Smith followed a block from Charles Sims and slipped through a crowd around left end on a 12-yard scoring run put the Mountaineers ahead 27-16 late in the third quarter. But West Virginia generated little offense the rest of the game. Trailing 27-23, Webb found Amaro for a 37-yard completion and Brad Marquez for 16 yards early in the fourth quarter to set up Williams’ second straight short scoring run. The outcome was still in doubt until Webb found Amaro with a 10-yard scoring pass with a minute left. Amaro, who also had a 10-yard TD catch in the first quarter, finished with nine catches for 136 yards - his sixth straight game with at least eight receptions. He increased his league-leading catch total to 56. Marquez had eight catches for 112 yards. Texas Tech jumped ahead 13-0 but lost two second-quarter fumbles that allowed the Mountaineers to tie it at halftime.

NORMAN, Okla. - Blake Bell knew he would likely have to match Texas Tech’s high-powered offense with big plays of his own if Oklahoma was to knock the Red Raiders from the ranks of the unbeaten. The Sooners quarterback did just that in a 38-30 victory Saturday, providing one of several spectacular moments for No. 17 Oklahoma as it reasserted its position as one of the Big 12 Conference’s best. Bell accounted for 293 yards of total offense for the Sooners (71, 4-1), throwing for 249 yards and two touchdowns in handing the 10th-ranked Red Raiders (7-1, 4-1) their first loss of the season. None of Bell’s plays were bigger than his 76-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Saunders in the first half, a play that put Oklahoma up 14-7 and gave it a much-needed boost of momentum after offensive struggles in recent weeks. Saunders finished with six catches for 153 yards and Damien Williams rushed for 97 yards and two touchdown for the Sooners, who forced three turnovers. The Red Raiders entered the game riding a wave of momentum under first-year coachKliff Kingsbury, and they were eager to prove they were worthy of their lofty ranking. The three turnovers, however, came back to haunt Texas Tech. Davis Webbfinished 33-of-52 passing for 385 yards for the Red Raiders, who were led byJace Amaro’s119 yards receiving on eight catches.Eric Wardadded nine catches for 106 yards. Texas Tech led 7-0 after the first quarter and the offensive shootout was on between two of the Big 12’s best - the defending conference champion Sooners and upstart Red Raiders. The teams combined for 986 yards of total offense, with Oklahoma outgaining Texas Tech 526-460. After watching the Red Raiders rally from 21-7 down to take a 24-21 lead, Lacoltan Bester provided the Sooners with a highlight-worthy rushing touchdown to match Bell’s earlier pass to Saunders. Bester initially thought about passing to Bell after taking the handoff on the end-around, but he eventually reversed course and cut back through seemingly the entire Texas Tech defense. The result was a 35-yard touchdown run that put Oklahoma up 28-24. Webb followed by throwing his second interception of the game - a tipped pass off the hands of Ward that Oklahoma’s Gabe Lynn pulled in for the turnover. Williams followed seven plays and 58 yards later with a 3-yard touchdown run to put the Sooners up 35-24, a lead that held up behind an Oklahoma offense that finished with 277 yards rushing on 50 carries. Bell, who finished with 44 yards rushing on nine carries, and the rest of the Oklahoma offense struggled in the first quarter, gaining just 58 yards on four possessions. It was a similar script to a loss to Texas two weeks ago, as well as last week when the Sooners fell behind 13-0 to Kansas early before rallying. This time, however, it was Oklahoma’s offense that stole the show against a Texas Tech team that entered the game known for just that. The Red Raiders did their best to show they belonged among the Big 12’s best and in the national spotlight. Once again behind Webb, who has played sinceBaker Mayfieldwas injured against Kansas on Oct. 5, Texas Tech took a 7-0 lead - thanks to a 3-yard touchdown pass from running backKenny Williamsto Ward.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Clint Chelf threw for two touchdowns and a season-high 211 yards and ran for two more scores to lead No. 18 Oklahoma State past No. 15 Texas Tech 52-34 on Saturday night. Desmond Roland ran for three touchdowns, a week after getting four for Oklahoma State (7-1, 4-1). Chelf scored on a 67 yard quarterback draw, and was 18-for-34 passing with two interceptions. The win keeps Oklahoma State in the Big 12 title hunt and makes the road for Texas Tech (7-2, 4-2) more difficult. The Red Raiders have lost two straight. Cowboys returner Josh Stewart set up the last of Roland’s touchdowns after returning a punt 46 yards in the third quarter. Davis Webbwas 45 for 71 for 425 yards and a touchdown, with two interceptions, for Texas Tech. Jace Amarofinished with 174 yards and a touchdown on 15 catches for the Red Raiders. Stewart jump started the second half for the Cowboys on his punt return that took Oklahoma State to the Red Raiders 11. Roland ran the ball four straight times, the last for a 1-yard touchdown to put the Cowboys up 35-24. Stewart returned the Red Raiders next punt 17 yards and on third-and-9 from the Cowboys 33, Chelf called his own number and rambled up the middle for a 67-yard touchdown. Twice the two teams traded interceptions and Texas Tech got touchdowns after both of its picks. Texas Tech gave up a season-high 281 yards rushing and a season-high five touchdowns on the ground. The Cowboys tallied 492 total yards, the most the Red Raiders have given up all season. It was the Cowboys fifth straight win over the Red Raiders. Oklahoma State is the first team to beat Texas Tech three straight times in Lubbock since Nebraska (1994, 1996 and 2000). The Cowboys took a record crowd of 61,836 out of the game early, jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. Oklahoma State converted touchdowns on a fumble and after a blocked punt. The Cowboys first three scores came on two 1-yard touchdowns by Roland and a 6-yard pass from Chelf to Tracy Moore. Webb’s first interception was negated three plays later. Chelf never saw defenderPete Robertson, who returned it 21 yards to pull Texas Tech within 28-17. The freshman found receiverEric Wardin the flat on about the Cowboys 35 and Ward raced up the near sideline and outran a defender for a 38-yard score to make it 21-10 on the first play of the second quarter. The Red Raiders cut the deficit to 28-24 whenKenny Williamsscored on a 2-yard run with 2 minutes left in the half.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Kliff Kingsbury thought his Texas Tech offense needed igniting after the No. 25 Red Raider fell behind early to Kansas on Saturday. So he substituted freshman quarterback Davis Webb for another freshman, Baker Mayfield. Webb had started the previous four games after Mayfield injured his left knee. The Red Raiders, who gave up more than 277 yards on the ground for a third straight game, need to find a way to stop the run next weekend when they travel to Dallas to take on No. 5 Baylor. Jake Waters and Daniel Sams each ran for two touchdowns and Waters passed for another score to lead Kansas State over Texas Tech 49-26. Sams’ TDs came on a 1-yard rush and a 5-yarder, and Waters scored from 1 yard and 13 yards. Waters threw a 20-yard touchdown to Tramaine Thompson. John Hubert, who scored on a 63-yard run early in the game, finished with 157 yards on 23 carries to lead the Wildcats. Ty Zimmerman scored a 43-yard touchdown after intercepting a pass from Texas Tech backup quarterback Baker Mayfield early in the fourth quarter. The win was the third in a row for the Wildcats (5-4, 3-3 Big 12), while the Red Raiders (7-3, 4-3) dropped their third straight game. Wildcats coach Bill Snyder was impressed with the Red Raiders. Mayfield, who came in for starter Webb late in the second quarter, was 34 for 44 for 276 yards and two interceptions. Waters was six of nine for 65 yards passing. He rushed for 38 yards on eight carries. Sams finished with 81 yards on 11 carries. The Wildcats put the game out of reach when Mayfield was intercepted for the first time at Texas Tech’s 43-yard line and Zimmerman returned it for a score less than a minute after a previous Kansas State touchdown. Texas Tech slowed Kansas State’s rushing game early in the third quarter. The Red Raiders, who were shut out in the second quarter, came away with points on each of their first two possessions of the second half. Mayfield ran for a 4-yard touchdown and Ryan Bustin kicked a 31-yard field goal to pull within 35-19. Tyler Lockett led the Wildcats in receptions, getting 44 yards on four receptions. The Wildcats got just 48 yards rushing in the third quarter and the bulk of those came on a key third-and-5 at the Red Raiders 30-yard line following an unsuccessful onside kick by Texas Tech. Sams started right but juked back left and went for 27 yards and a first down. Two plays later, on the first play of the fourth quarter, Sams scored from a yard out to put the Wildcats up 42-19. Kansas State scored touchdowns on all but one of the Wildcats’ six first-half possessions - their lone unsuccessful one when they took over on downs with a second remaining. On the Wildcats’ second play from scrimmage, Hubert ran left and scampered untouched along the far sideline for his 63-yard touchdown. Eric Ward led Texas Tech with 11 catches for 107 yards.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Bryce Petty threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores as No. 4 Baylor stayed undefeated, overcoming its first double-digit deficit of the season in a 63-34 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night. The Bears (9-0, 6-0), even without several key offensive players, stretched their school-record winning streak to 13 games. They are the outright Big 12 leader after No. 23 Texas absorbed its first conference loss earlier in the day, and are one of six undefeated FBS teams. Shock Linwood, effectively the Bears’ third-string running back, ran 29 times for 187 yards and a touchdown while Devin Chafin, another redshirt freshman, had 11 carries for 100 yards and two TDs. Levi Norwood had TD catches of 40 and 58 yards, and also returned a punt 58 yards for a score. Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4) lost its fourth straight game since a 7-0 start for first-year coachKliff Kingsbury, who was the Red Raiders’ starting quarterback when Baylor coachArt Brileswas the running backs coach at Tech from 2000-02. Baylor played its first game since Briles this week got a new 10-year contract through the 2023 season, and was down 14-0 after 8 minutes before getting on a roll. The coach is in his sixth season with the Bears, who had 12 consecutive losing seasons since the inception of the Big 12 when he arrived. Petty was 17-of-31 passing for 335 yards, and put Baylor ahead to stay when he hit wide-open Antwan Goodley for a 31yard TD pass and a 21-20 lead with 4 seconds left in the first quarter. Goodley’s Big 12-best 11th TD catch came immediately after K.J. Morton intercepted a pass. Baker Mayfield, starting as Tech’s quarterback for the first time since its fifth game, completed 28 of 51 passes for 314 yards and four touchdowns. His only pick came when he threw a pass right into the chest of the leaping Morton. Bears kicker Aaron Jones became the NCAA career leader for extra points with nine more, pushing his career mark to 260. The previous record was the 253 by Art Carmody of Louisville from 2004-07, which Jones passed with his three in the first quarter. Jones has made 175 in a row, the NCAA’s longest active streak. Texas Tech led 14-0 after standout tight endJace Amarohad touchdown catches on the Red Raiders’ first two drives. There was a 6-yard TD on a halfback pass fromKenny Williamson the 15th play of a game-opening 75-yard drive before Amaro got wide open for a 20-yard score from Mayfield the next time they had the ball. Amaro took a crushing hit from Ahmad Dixon while holding on for an 18-yard catch to the 4, two plays before Mayfield’s 3-yard TD toJakeem Grantwith 4:28 left in the first half got the Red Raiders within 28-27. After staying down on the field for several minutes, Amaro got up and walked to the sideline on his own power, though slowly. He did get back in the game, but didn’t have another catch. He finished with four catches for 55 yards.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Case McCoy passed for two touchdowns and ran for another and Texas kept its Big 12 title hopes alive Thursday night with a 41-16 win over Texas Tech. Joe Bergeron ran for 102 yards and a touchdown for the Longhorns (8-3, 7-1 Big 12), who end their regular season on Dec. 7 at No. 9 Baylor. If Texas wins that game and No. 7 Oklahoma State loses to No. 20 Oklahoma, the Longhorns would win their first league championship since 2009. Texas Tech (7-5, 4-5) ended its regular season with its fifth consecutive loss under first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury. The Red Raiders came in with the nation’s top passing offense, but Texas sacked freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield seven times. Texas Tech’s biggest play came on a 51-yard touchdown on a fake punt by Ryan Erxleben in the first quarter. Mike Davis caught touchdowns of 47 and 7 yards for Texas. Malcolm Brown also rushed for 128 yards for Texas, which pounded out 281 total yards on the ground. Anthony Fera kicked field goals of 37 and 49 yards, tying the Texas record by making 15 in a row this season. Jackson Jeffcoat had three sacks for Texas which chased Red Raiders quarterbacks all night with a swarming pass rush. Mayfield completed 24 of 44 passes for 237 yards for the Red Raiders, who haven’t won in Austin since 1997. Any chance of a Big 12 title seemed remote when Texas began the season 1-2 and coach Mack Brown was mocked by fans for talking about winning the league crown just a few minutes after an embarrassing home loss to Mississippi. But Texas reeled off six wins in a row and didn’t stumble until a 38-13 home loss to Oklahoma State on Nov. 16. That loss rekindled speculation that Brown’s job could be in jeopardy and whether Thursday night could be his last home game after 16 seasons. Texas responded to that 25-point home loss - the worst of Brown’s tenure - with a 25-point win that sets up at least the potential for a title and a Bowl Championship Series berth. Thursday night also was the final home game for a senior class that signed with Texas just a month after the Longhorns lost to Alabama in the 2009 season championship game. That group likely expected to contend for Big 12 and national championships every year, but instead has 30-19 overall with an 18-16 mark in the Big 12. If they don’t win the Big 12 title, they will be first Texas senior class since 1989 to not win or share a conference or division championship. The Longhorns gave themselves a chance by rolling over an in-state rival playing its first game on Thanksgiving, a schedule slot that had been reserved for so long for Texas A&M. The fake punt gave Texas Tech an early 7-0 lead before the Longhorns responded with Fera’s first field goal and McCoy’s long touchdown pass to Davis in the first quarter. Texas pushed the lead to 20-7 when Joe Bergeron rumbled 12 yards for a touchdown, a play set up by a 43-yard completion from Jaxon Shipley to Davis on a double-reverse pass. McCoy’s second career rushing touchdown came in the third quarter and his 7-yard TD pass to Davis in the third made it 34-10 and put the game out of reach. McCoy had three turnovers in Texas’ loss to Oklahoma State, but was mistake-free against the Red Raiders and finished 10 of 19 passing for 139 yards.

2013 Texas Tech Football

CLIPPINGS

2013 Texas Tech Football Date: 12-12-12 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Texas Tech names Kingsbury new head coach Kliff Kingsbury spent a fun-filled 2012 season coaching up a dodging, darting Heisman Trophy winner that came to be known as Johnny Football. Now he’s on to his next assignment: Trying to make Texas Tech football just as exciting. Kingsbury can’t wait for the opportunity, even if his age — 33 — is a question mark. On Wednesday, Texas Tech made Kingsbury the youngest head coach at a BCS conference school, bringing him home to the place where he threw for 95 touchdowns a decade ago. “It’s been a whirlwind,” Kingsbury said of the last few days, “but I couldn’t be happier — beyond ecstatic to be back — and it feels like home.” Kingsbury’s hiring came just four days after Tommy Tuberville’s resignation rocked the Tech football world. Kingsbury, wrapping up his first year as Texas A&M offensive coordinator, agreed to a four-year contract to be Tuberville’s replacement. The dollars were not immediately disclosed. Tech announced Kingsbury’s hiring with new-age technology befitting such a young coach: via a video posted Wednesday on Twitter. In the video, Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt says, “Red Raider Nation, I’m excited to introduce to you, our new head football coach.” The camera pans to Kingsbury, who says, “Wreck ’em, Tech,” and gives a Guns Up hand sign. Two hours later, Hocutt was standing next to Kingsbury in a hastily arranged news conference at Lubbock’s Chaparral Jet Center. “I couldn’t be more excited,” Hocutt said. “We found the right person, the right fit for Texas Tech. We found a winner in every sense of the word, and we’re excited to have Kliff Kingsbury back home and as the leader of our football program into the future.” Tuberville jolted Tech on Saturday morning with a resignation that seemingly no one saw coming, bolting for Cincinnati. Hocutt promised to find a replacement who loves Tech and appreciates West Texas culture. Kingsbury is that, and it took Hocutt only 100 hours, practically on the dot, to produce him. The last time Kingsbury played in Jones AT&T Stadium, he threw six touchdown passes in a 42-38 upset of Texas in 2002. He said he’s wanted to be back ever since. “I loved it out here,” said Kingsbury, who threw for more than 12,000 yards as Tech’s first Mike Leach-era quarterback. “I love the people of West Texas. I’ve lived in a bunch of different cities, and some of the finest people I’ve ever met in my life are out here, and some of the best relationships that I still have today were formed out here, so I’m thrilled to be back.” That’s all well and good, but the honeymoon can’t last unless Kingsbury gets the Red Raiders back on a better trajectory than their 12-12 mark the last two years. According to Tech, there’s only one head coach in Division I younger than Kingsbury — Toledo’s Matt Campbell, by less than four months. Kingsbury’s sure to face questions about his age going forward. “Yeah, I think everybody’s entitled to their opinion,” he said. “I know what I’ve done, I know what I’m about to do and, like I said, just the fact that Texas Tech believed in me and gave me this opportunity, I’m going to make it work.” Kingsbury’s task is a tall order, not only because of his shortage of experience. Tech fans have been a divided bunch since Leach’s controversial firing three years ago and Tuberville’s upand-down results in three seasons. “Red Raiders are Red Raiders,” Kingsbury said, “and we should all be pulling the same direction. That’s what I want, and I know that it’s time to do that again. You know, we’re a proud group and it’s time to get that thing back on track.” Returning to Tech means leaving behind Johnny Manziel, the A&M quarterback who set the Southeastern Conference on fire and became the first freshman to win the Heisman. Kingsbury plans to return to College Station today to say goodbye to the players he coached this year. Asked if he had any hesitation about forgoing another few years with Manziel, Kingsbury said, “If it was any other school. If it was any other school, there would have been. He understands. He knows how I feel about him. He’s as good a player as I’ve ever seen and probably the fiercest competitor I’ve ever been around. “So it was definitely hard with that, but this is where I belong and where I want to be.” When Tuberville bolted, he added to an unwanted piece of Tech history. He joined the ranks of Tech coaches such as David McWilliams and Steve Sloan who left the program of their own accord, after a short tenure. “I think Texas Tech’s in better shape,” said Tech Board of Regents Chairman Jerry Turner, a former Red Raiders player. “I think it is so critical that we have somebody who really wants to

be here and who loves Texas Tech. Kliff Kingsbury meets both of those criteria, and he has been successful. I can only conclude that hopefully we’re moving into a new era for football at Texas Tech, so I’m excited about it.” The deal to bring home Kingsbury was finalized during a three-hour meeting Wednesday among Kingsbury, Hocutt, Tech Chancellor Kent Hance and interim President Lawrence Schovanec. The get-together took place at Hance’s house in Austin. Hance has known Kingsbury the new coach’s entire life. Kingsbury’s uncle, Mike Miller, was a chief of staff for Hance’s state Senate term in the mid-1970s. “I think it’s a great day for Texas Tech,” Hance said. “We have someone that wants to be here and that is not going to be shopping around every year. I’ve known him all of his life. I could not be happier. What happened last Saturday was a blessing in disguise, and I feel better about Texas Tech football than I’ve ever felt.” On day three without a coach, Hocutt mapped out a busy Tuesday in which he flew out to interview Kingsbury in Houston, Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris in Anderson, S.C., and Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray in Nashville, Tenn. Morris was a successful Texas high school coach before he moved into college coaching in 2010, and Gray grew up in Lubbock as an Estacado High School star. The popular choice among Tech fans, however, seemed to be Kingsbury. There was only one sticking point: Kingsbury’s been a coach for only five years, because his playing career lasted up to 2008. During the time he spent as an NFL player, Kingsbury learned under New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and under Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy when McCarthy was offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints. “It was a little concern,” Hance said, “but I tell you, his enthusiasm for the job and his desire for the job overcomes anything as far as experience is concerned. “And you look at his experience ... He’s been under Belichick and (A&M coach Kevin) Sumlin. He’s been under a lot of great coaches. They all speak highly of him. It’s just a great situation.” As a coach, Kingsbury spent four seasons at Houston, the first two as offensive quality control assistant and the last two as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. At U of H, he worked with Case Keenum, who set NCAA career records for passing yards, passing touchdowns, completions and total offense. Kingsbury’s star kept rising this fall with Manziel’s smashing college debut. Even the chance to ride the Johnny Football train didn’t mean as much to Kingsbury as his dream job. Turner said he thinks Kingsbury will put an end to Tech’s recent history of fearing its head coaches are frequently looking at other jobs. “I think players will be excited about it,” Turner said. “I certainly hope recruits will be excited about it. I’m confident he will want to get in front of as many recruits as quickly as he can. “You’re never going to succeed if you’re led by somebody who is looking over the fence all the time. I don’t anticipate that’s what Kliff is going to do.”

2013 Texas Tech Football Date: 07-16-13 Publisher: Grantland Author: Holly Anderson The Favorite Son Kliff Kingsbury takes the Raider reins 1. The Short Way Back The first permanent head coach hired at Texas Tech following the acrimonious ousting of Mike Leach will not linger long in the collective memory of Lubbock, and that’s neither a bad thing nor a slight directed at Tommy Tuberville. This is highly unscientific, but it still just seems off to us that he was ever there at all, so entrenched in American football culture was The Way Of The Leach. Safe and splashless, the move was a perfectly executed “nothing to see here” gambit on the part of Tech’s administration, and begat a mostly serviceable tenure: two largely forgettable 8-5 seasons sandwiched around one losing 5-7 campaign before losing Tuberville himself to the Cincinnati job. By that time, the Red Raiders also had a new athletic director — and Kirby Hocutt, who’d previously displayed a penchant for mining young talent by luring Al Golden to Miami from Temple, pulled a spiritual 180 from the T-Tubz era by plucking a coaching cousin of Leach’s, another young gun from the Air Raid coaching tree. Kliff Kingsbury had toiled in the coaching ranks since just 2008, when he was hired at Houston as an assistant and reunited with OC Dana Holgorsen. He was elevated to co-OC and quarterbacks coach in 2010 before following head coach Kevin Sumlin to Texas A&M in 2012. You are probably already familiar with what happened next. For his part, Kingsbury, who will turn 34 just prior to the start of the season, believes the narrow age gap between him and his charges makes him more relatable to players. “I still feel like I could play at times. So I don’t feel very far removed from it. When we’re in meetings, I look around and say, ‘Hey, I was just sitting there not too long ago, and I know what you’re going through, and I’ve been in the exact same situations, in the exact seat you’ve been in.’ And so I try to take that into account, and when I deal with them I try to keep it on that level.” Despite Kingsbury’s early success at mentoring such dissimilar talents as Case Keenum in Houston and Johnny Manziel in College Station, handing over a Big 12 program to a first-time head coach under the age of 35 might have caused some pearl clutching but for one other, crucial factor: Kingsbury’s ascension is not an arrival, but a return. He was the starting quarterback of the Red Raiders for three full seasons under Leach (2000-02), a Baugh Trophy winner, and an Academic All-American — and those credentials lend Kingsbury’s hire a kind of local credibility that he hasn’t been alive long enough to earn on the sidelines. It’s not hard to imagine a hometown hero overwhelmed by the kind of expectations that are bound to be placed on Kingsbury at Tech. But despite his inexperience and the scrutiny he’ll face, he insists he feels less pressure, not more, coming back to Lubbock. “I tell everybody, pressure is being OC at Texas A&M when you used to quarterback at Texas Tech. So being back, where I’m very familiar with this place and what we’re trying to accomplish, I just feel at home.”

Sumlin did a great job of letting Johnny be Johnny.” • Coachspeak has not fully kicked in yet. He already knows better than to divulge his favorite hangout spots in Lubbock (“I don’t want to piss anybody off”), but Kingsbury will confess his favorite road-game destination: “Actually, Kansas State. It’s their fans. They’re pretty choreographed, they do great cheers and chants, and they’re always rowdy. That’s a great atmosphere.” The wait for a coach to go on record saying he likes going to a rival school because their crowds are sparse and leave early, letting his guys work in peace, continues. • Player to watch: Jakeem Grant. Did consecutive kicks returned for touchdowns last season captivate anybody more than Jakeem himself? Whatever happened, it worked: Kingsbury was wowed by the diminutive sophomore in camp. “I knew he was good, but I was really blown away by how quick and how fast he is, watching him in spring ball. We’re gonna make sure he gets as many catches as he can handle. He’s that dynamic of a player. He had a great spring, and is really becoming a better receiver for us. But he’ll still get his touches on special teams and any other way we can get it to him.” • This may come as a terrible shock, but we have yet to encounter a coach who envies Mark Helfrich his paint chip selection task. Administrative matters, Kingsbury says, “have taken up a lot more time than I’d thought, but nothing to do with colors of walls. Which is definitely good for me.” • Get the look. Kingsbury sources those V-neck T-shirts from American Apparel and Urban Outfitters. As one does. 3. Designated Talisman Grantland: What inspired you guys to have this done? Kingsbury: I just had a big space on my wall, and he had done a smaller thing for me, and I just asked him if he could do an 8-foot-by-5-foot painting, and he said yeah, I’ll knock it out. He showed me some ideas, and I liked the whole “sun’s up, guns up” theme, and so we wanted to portray that, and he did an incredible job. Got it done. Grantland: What do you remember about that night? Kingsbury: I was actually here for that game; I was coaching at the University of Houston, and we had a bye week, so I came up. It was pretty much the pinnacle of Texas Tech football as we’d known it, the modern generation, and just to see the fans and the joy and the roll everybody was on was just an awesome feeling 4. Stay Tuned • Red Raiders football commences: Friday, August 30, at SMU. • Conference play commences: Thursday, September 12, at home versus TCU. • Mandatory viewing: Is “the entire rest of the Red Raiders’ Big 12 schedule” too vague an assignment? There’s no better conference if you just want to turn on, sit back, and watch the scoreboards light up like pinball machines, and Tech will need touchdowns aplenty to get through consecutive games against West Virginia, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Baylor. We’d pick the Pokes or Bears games for maximum pointsplosion potential.

And now for the first question on everybody’s mind when an Air Raid cousin comes to town: How y’all gonna score? There are no Johnny Footballs (Johnnys Football?) readily apparent in Tech’s practices, but as Kingsbury shepherds Michael Brewer and Davis Webb through a starting quarterback race, remember that Manziel himself was a late surprise to his own coaches. Receiver depth would seem to indicate that Kingsbury will be pass-happier here than at A&M, but he’s made his way so far by working with what he has at hand. “I think we take a lot of pride in adapting to our personnel. Last year we had one of the best offensive lines I’ve ever seen in college football, and obviously a quarterback who could run, and great backs, and we ended up leading the SEC in rushing, which, nobody would’ve seen that coming at the beginning of the year. But we’ll play to our strengths. When we were at the University of Houston, Case Keenum had a bunch of great receivers, and was great at finding ‘em and broke every NCAA record passing. So I’m excited to see what we’ve got at fall camp, and we’ll adjust our offense accordingly.” And nobody touch those fire extinguishers by the scoreboard. They might be needed again sooner than you imagine. 2. Deleted Scenes • This didn’t used to be part of the job. How do guys like Kingsbury prepare guys like Johnny Manziel for having every syllable they utter and every character they type parsed by a ravenous smartphone-armed public? “That’s the million-dollar question. I don’t know if you can, really. I think it’s a thing where he’s got to learn on his own and figure it out. And luckily, Johnny’s a smart kid, very savvy. You let him learn on his own, and you try to guide him as much as you can, but you don’t want to put clamps on him and say, ‘Hey, you gotta do this, you gotta do that.’ I think Coach

2013 Texas Tech Football Date: 08-01-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Matt Wallerstedt prepares for the season as Tech’s fifth defensive coordinator in five years Tech defensive players say they’ve gotten a good vibe from the coaches and vice versa When he stepped on campus this past winter, Matt Wallerstedt had ideal preparation for the player relations required to be Texas Tech’s fifth defensive coordinator in five years. He’d just come from Texas A&M, where the Aggies had had four defensive coordinators in six seasons — five in six if you count the DC who was hired and left before coaching a game. How do you sell yourself to guys who have heard a new pitch every year? “It wasn’t quite this drastic, but it was similar at A&M,” Wallerstedt said recently. “Sean Porter and Jonathan Stewart, I think I was their fourth linebacker coach in their career there at A&M. “I’m sensitive to it. As a player, number one, I know how anxious and how nerve wracking it can be. It’s a whole new group (of coaches). They’re not the ones that recruited you and all that stuff, let alone learning new verbiage and all that.” Nevertheless, Tech defensive players say they’ve gotten a good vibe from the coaches and vice versa. They started to put their plan in place during 15 sessions of spring practice. “Kerry Hyder’s been around a lot of packages,” Wallerstedt said, referring to the Red Raiders’ fifth-year senior defensive lineman. “He thought, collectively as a group by position, this was the fastest he had seen everyone learn the schemes.” The urgency gets turned up several notches this weekend. Tech players report back for training camp Friday and the first preseason practice — open to the public — is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. “The transition’s been easier every year,” Hyder said, “especially with so many older guys coming back. With so many guys on the staff that are from Tech ... they know where we’re coming from. Problems, they know how to address. This has been the easiest transition I’ve been through with coaches.” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury has said more than once the defenses with which Wallerstedt was associated in recent years gave the offenses that Kingsbury coached the most problems. That was a big impetus for the hiring, not to mention the two landed on the same staff last year at A&M. Wallerstedt thinks basing out of a 3-4 will give the Red Raiders the week-to-week adaptability they need in the Big 12. He admits the fit might not be perfect for the personnel he inherited. The Red Raiders lack the massive noseguard and 6-foot-5, 300-pound defensive ends that are the 3-4 prototypes. The one player they had who fit the description of the 3-4 defensive end, Delvon Simmons, transferred to Southern Cal after the spring semester ended. With no supersized linebackers either, the Red Raiders are small across the front seven in general. “But I’ve been in that situation at Air Force (2008-11),” Wallerstedt said, “where we were undersized every week and saw a lot of success with guys who were playing with good technique. The scheme will be aggressive enough and confusing enough to make the quarterback earn his scholarship and keep the offensive linemen guessing. We’re going to have to play full speed and know where our fits are and play aggressive. “I think the biggest thing here is the takeaway numbers have to go up. We’ve talked about that and stressed that since we hit the ground here. If we can get the takeaway numbers up, we can win a couple more games from that alone.” Hyder was a first-team choice last year, and defensive end Dartwan Bush was secondteam all-Big 12. Hyder says he’ll play in the 290-pound range this season. Bush is small for a 3-4 end, but Kingsbury said he expects the senior to flourish in Wallerstedt’s scheme. And noseguard Dennell Wesley will matter as much as they do. “Our noseguard is critical in this package,” Wallerstedt said. “Dennell’s going to have to have a big year.” It’s oversimplifying to say the Red Raiders will be a 3-4 team — or a 3-4 team that blends in a 4-3. They’ll show more looks than that. As for how much they’re in what front, “That’s going to be probably dictated by the game, what their offenses are trying to do, and we’ll be in more fronts than that,”Wallerstedt said. “We’ll be multiple. I think in the Big 12, this marries up better. “Two years ago, when A&M was in the Big 12, Tim DeRuyter was doing a lot of the same things we’re going to be doing here,” Wallerstedt said. “They based out of the three-man front, but did a lot of four-man front, too. “(Second-year A&M coordinator) Mark Snyder did the other way with it. With A&M in the SEC, thinking it was going to be more smash-mouth football, he put more big bodies up there and

branched it out to the three-man front.” Given that he’s the fifth voice the fifth-year seniors have heard, Wallerstedt said he’s happy with the reception players have given him. He and co-defensive coordinator Mike Smith have offered them what he describes as a fun package, a more high-risk, high-reward approach than usual for Tech. Kingsbury called former defensive coordinator Art Kaufman “a heck of a coach,” but said he wanted to “bring in our own style.” “We want to do it on defense,” Wallerstedt said. “We don’t want to be on the coattails of the offense. I know Kliff is going to score a lot of points and do great things. We want to keep building on what Art started last year and take the defense to new heights.”

Carlton: Texas Tech’s Eric Ward opted to return to school to improve his academic — and NFL — stock

Red Raiders’ Marquez fulfills dream playing football and baseball

Eric Ward’s calculations were a little different from most of his peers’ when he faced a decision about the NFL draft earlier this year. After receiving a grade somewhere between the third and fifth rounds, he weighed an early entry against another season and a degree at Texas Tech — a master’s degree. “Me personally, if you can get your master’s debt-free and have the chance to enhance your spot, why not?” the senior receiver said. “The NFL is always going to be there. If the NFL is not there, at least you have a master’s because the NFL isn’t for long.” Ward could easily boost his draft stock in addition to his academic credentials. He’s caught 166 passes for 23 touchdowns the last two seasons, including 82 receptions and 12 TDs last season. With a big final season, he could challenge Wes Welker (259 career catches) for second on the all-time Tech list. Beyond the numbers, Ward was the surprise hit of Big 12 media days last week in Dallas — funny, engaging and confident but not cocky. Among his best offerings: On new coach Kliff Kingsbury: “He’s not one of those rah-rah-rah guys,” Ward said. “That really scares players. Should I go talk to the coach or is he going to scream at me? He’s just laidback and easy to talk to.” On his blocking. “I light people up. Don’t believe me, YouTube it. YouTube it!” Ward said to laughter. “I like to block because, ‘Why not?’ That’s what you’re out there to do.” On his message to younger teammates: “Show appreciation,” Ward said. “Don’t be unappreciative. Sometimes people try to walk over their privileges.” Ward has a compelling story. He’s married to his high school sweetheart from Wichita Falls and has one child. College success wasn’t a given. “He came in and grew into it,” said co-offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie, who has watched Ward develop. “He’s a great ambassador. He’s a good story that hopefully gets better.” Ward (6-0, 204 pounds) caught just six passes as a redshirt freshman in 2010. Cumbie remembers him catching footballs, tennis balls, anything to improve his hands while doing his best to refine his route-running. Former Tech quarterback Seth Doege praised Ward’s unselfishness last season. “Guys trust him,” Doege said. “He wants to win; he’s competitive.” Along with tight end Jace Amaro, Ward figures to be a security blanket to Michael Brewer, the presumed heir apparent at quarterback. Consistency may be the last thing Ward has left. “He came here as a raw, unpolished receiver,” Cumbie said. “The finished product is him deciding he wants to be one of the best receivers in the conference.” Ward also remains focused on his master’s in interdisciplinary studies, with a focus on special education, sociology and exercise sports sciences. He was uncharacteristically five minutes late as Tech was preparing to leave Lubbock for Dallas and Big 12 media days. His explanation: a class. On a Sunday. More specifically, Ward had to spend a day functioning as someone sight-impaired, including navigating the South Plains Mall. He wants to be prepared for his next career. “You can’t play football forever,” Ward said, “but you have a master’s forever.” Top Tech receivers With 172 career catches, senior Eric Ward could finish his career among the top receivers in Texas Tech history. The current top five: Rk., Player Years Rec. 1. Taurean Henderson 2002-05 302 2. Wes Welker 2000-03 259 3. Detron Lewis 2007-10 238 4. Michael Crabtree 2007-08 231 5. Nehemiah Glover 2001-04 223

Stadiums filled to their maximum potential play host to dreams of kids big and small, from the 4-year-old who just got his first bat for tee ball and is swinging it all through the house, despite the warnings from his parents, to the 50-year-old man who angrily looks back at his football injury, confident that if he would have remained healthy he would have made it to the NFL and had a handful of Super Bowl rings. For those whose dreams became reality, their testimonies are full of telling the story of when they made it and how much fun it is to do what they love. Not many of them, however, mention more than one sport in their stories. It is hard to be a professional athlete, and be good, in two different sports. Enter Michael Jordan. He made fools out of opponents on the hardwood, but looked a fool as he rode the pine for the Birmingham Barons, a minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. One athlete, however, captured the nation with his ability to bulldoze opponents on the gridiron and smash the cover off of baseballs in ballparks. Bo Jackson certainly did know. Living two dreams is a rarity in sports, but Texas Tech junior wide receiver Bradley Marquez is making that a reality. “It’s just in me,” Marquez said. “I’ve been doing it for many years. I understand now it’s a lot higher competition, you know, playing minor league baseball and Division I football.” On July 28, Marquez wrapped up his summer with the Kingsport (Tenn.) Mets, a Rookie League affiliate of the New York Mets. He went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Overall, he recorded a .250 batting average in 27 games played, with six extra base hits, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases in four attempts. Marquez was drafted out of high school and offered a $325,000 signing bonus. He was guaranteed $100,000 of that and would have received the rest if he chose to become a full-time baseball player by Sept. 15. Instead, he returned home to West Texas and now dons the Red Raider red and black for the 2013 Texas Tech football season. By no means does that mean his baseball career has come to an end. “We always feel bad for Bradley because as soon as he starts heating up at the plate, we drag him back to football,” Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. With Marquez being an Odessa native, “dragging” him back isn’t a difficult task. “I’m excited to be here and ready to get back on the field for sure,” Marquez said. When asked if he would stay at Texas Tech for four years, Marquez answered “Absolutely.” His time with the Mets has taught him lessons applicable to football that many Division I athletes are still trying to figure out. “It’s professional baseball so the professionalism of everything and just the maturity, growing up and that kind of thing is probably the biggest thing that’s helped me,” Marquez said. “Baseball’s a mental game, and it’s something I had to work with. I struggled with it early in the season. I have some tricks that I’ve kind of learned to get myself focused on the moment and not things that have happened in the past.” This attitude has caught the attention of Kingsbury. “He’s a great young man and a great representative of Texas Tech,” Kingsbury said. “That’s what you want your players to be on and off the field.” Marquez understands that a Division I athlete and minor league baseball player is a combination that doesn’t get rolled often. Especially after his season-ending injury last year, a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee in the West Virginia game, Marquez understands that he cannot take anything for granted. “It’s a blessing. It truly is,” Marquez said. “I’m blessed and definitely do not take any day for granted because it can be taken away from you very quick, just as my injury happened unexpectedly and so it’s just one of those things. I’m truly blessed and happy for the opportunity I have because sometimes a lot of people don’t have this. It’s a blessing.” While Marquez is working out in Lubbock in preparation for the upcoming season, he is keeping an eye on his baseball team. Kingsport is currently two games behind first-place Greeneville in the Appalachian League West Division. On Aug. 30, the Kingsport Mets will be wrapping up their regular season while Marquez and the Texas Tech Red Raiders will begin their season at SMU.

Simmons’ departure tough on Jackson, but opens door for 2013 season Sophomore getting comfortable in Wallerstedt’s 3-4 scheme

Tech TE Amaro overcomes injury, setbacks to become stronger Junior has renewed mental focus, expects to finally be big contributor for Red Raiders

When Delvon Simmons decided to transfer from Texas Tech after the spring semester, the Red Raiders were affected in several ways. They lost a returning starter, a big body for their new 3-4 defense and a young player in whom they’d invested much development time. On a personal level, it impacted defensive end Branden Jackson, given he and Simmons were lifelong friends from McKeesport, Pa. Jackson admits he thought about leaving right after his buddy did. Then it occurred to him: He had no good reason. “I won’t lie. I contemplated it,” Jackson said. “He was my best friend. We’ve been through so much. I felt like if he was going, I was going with him. That’s my brother. “But at the end of the day, I’m my own man and I wasn’t going to leave a program that hasn’t done anything wrong to me, treated me with class, treated me great and a place where I’ve begun to make a name and I’m comfortable.” The Red Raiders would love to see Jackson, a 6-foot-4, 248-pound sophomore defensive end, come into his own this season. The Raiders aren’t as deep as they’d like on the defensive line, and Jackson, aside from his talent, has had a couple of years to get comfortable. That’s something Simmons never did, apparently, before he left in May. He wound up at Southern Cal. “I just felt like when he first got here, Lubbock wasn’t what he was used to,” defensive end Dartwan Bush said, “and I guess it didn’t get any better for him over the years, so he did what he thought was best for him.” Bush also describes himself as “really close” with Simmons. Then again, Bush hadn’t known him since childhood. “As tough as I try to act, that’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve had happen to me,” Jackson said. “Me and Delvon grew up together, played Little League, played high school and everything, decided we wanted to come to school together. Him leaving, it hurt me. That was my rock. That was who I leaned on whenever I was hurt. “But as soon as he left, all the team came together and they were like, ‘We’re a team. I know that’s your brother, but we’re all your brothers. Just because he’s gone doesn’t mean you don’t have anyone.’ “That kind of helped me get through that. I talk to him every day. I wish him the best of luck, but I’m down here, and I love where I am.” Jackson expects to love it even more this season, partly because he thinks he’s a good fit for the defense Matt Wallerstedt has installed. He’s been tried at the bandit position, a combination defensive end-outside linebacker, and as a down defensive end in the three-man front. “This defense, this is my favorite,” said Jackson, who had 19 tackles last year. “I love this defense. It reminds me a lot of an NFL-style defense with all the adjustments and all the movement — the movement of players and (the offense) not knowing who’s playing what. “It’s a really fun defense. It’s really active. It might be confusing for those who don’t understand football. For those who do, they know we’re doing a lot.” Based on what he’s seen the last few months, Jackson expects to be used in a variety of ways and to be turned loose to attack offenses from several angles. From time to time, he might even be at a third or fourth position beyond the two he’s played so far. “I don’t even have a listing,” Jackson said. “Everyone says, ‘You play linebacker. You play defensive line.’ I always tell them. I play a-t-h. I’m just an athlete. I’ll be everywhere.” Now he just has to get it all down. He spent virtually all spring at the bandit spot, competing for the starting job with sophomore Pete Robertson. After Simmons’ departure, coaches decided to move Jackson to end, where he’s second on the depth chart behind Bush. A high school linebacker, Jackson had never played end until he got to Tech. That change also means a change in position coaches: from Mike Smith, the co-defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach, to defensive line coach John Scott. “I’ve been in and out of coach Scott’s office,” Jackson said, “talking to him, trying to get some tips on what I can do and a jump start so I can catch up to the guys who have been doing it all spring.”

Junior tight end Jace Amaro is one of the most physically imposing offensive players in the Big 12 Conference at 6-foot-5 and 257 pounds. But he’s also one who has a lot still to prove, and he knows it. Quite frankly, he’s appreciative of the chance he has to play the game after all the negative things that have happened to him on and off the field. Highly touted as a high school senior, Amaro came to Texas Tech and played as a true freshman. The first year didn’t quite go as he had expected as he had just seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown. “Freshman year was just really rough,” Amaro said. “I had always been the big guy, the guy that got all the attention and got put in the game just because I was good. That just didn’t happen for me. I played very limited time.” Things didn’t get any better for Amaro as a sophomore. In March 2012, Amaro and fellow teammate, freshman running back Kenny Williams, were arrested on felony credit card abuse charges. Neither were charged, but it put him under the spotlight in a negative and unfamiliar way. “Going into my sophomore season, 2012, there were a lot of obstacles, just not on the football field but off the field, too,” Amaro said. On the field, it looked as if Amaro would have his breakout year that fall. Halfway into the season and already near 400 total yards with four touchdowns, Amaro sustained a spleen injury that would sideline him for the remainder of the regular season. In his absence, he was agonizingly forced to watch his team go from 5-1 to 7-5. He was finally cleared to play in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Houston against Minnesota, where he caught two passes for 15 yards before being ejected for punching a Minnesota safety in the third quarter. “People may get the wrong impression of me,” Amaro said. “You can ask my coaches and my teammates (and they’ll say) that I’m the last guy to do any of those things, to have that approach, to have that mentality.” It’s been eight months since the punch and over a year since the arrest, and a new Amaro seems to have taken over. Turns out, the time he spent on the sidelines made an impact. “Being injured, that’s just one more thing to be grateful for,” Amaro said. “Every single practice you have or every time you’re out there, you have a chance to play. That really dealt to me, and I feel like that grew me up pretty quick because I saw my team lose and that’s just the last thing I wanted to see. “I feel more involved, I feel more mature and a better football player. I’m a much better person and I have a better mindset. My mentality is stronger than it was before. I feel like I’m really ready to go this season.” Entering spring practice, Amaro was a little hesitant coming off his injury, but as the weeks progressed, he started to return to his old self. “He’s come a long way,” head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “During the spring coming off that injury was still a little tentative to start, and by the end of spring he was getting at it pretty good. From what I’ve heard, he’s had an incredible summer. He looks great and he’s a big part of our offense.” Sophomore quarterback Michael Brewer has also noticed a change in Amaro and hopes this season is the one for him. “Everybody saw the potential season that Jace was going to have last year before he got hurt,” Brewer said. “He looks better than he did before. He looks bigger, faster, stronger and with the physical ability that he has is hard to match. It’s going to be tough for defenses to game plan him. I’m looking forward to him having a big year.” Because of his absences from the field, Amaro was left off the John Mackey Award watch list, given annually to the best tight end in the country. Some felt it was a slight, but Amaro said he understood why he wasn’t on the list. “Personally, I would like to play a full season first before I get recognized on those things,” Amaro said. “That’s a great honor to be on that watch list, but I’ve really only had one great game.” Outside of himself, Amaro notices the change surrounding Red Raider football. “I feel like we always had a little bit of doubt in our mind going into each fall camp,” Amaro said. “When everyone’s excited, you feel like you have something to prove. You feel like you should play harder, and I think that’s going to be one big difference this season than in the past seasons that I’ve been here.”

Williams: Morales working his way back

Out of the shadow: Bush in position for big senior year Hyder is teammate’s biggest advocate

Every time Texas Tech offensive line coach Lee Hays looked out his office window this summer, chances were good he’d see Alfredo Morales working on the Texas Tech practice fields. Whenever Hays ambled through the football building, it seemed as if Morales would be going to or coming from the weight room. The Tech offensive guard had surgery right after the 2012 regular season ended to repair a torn posterior labrum in his right shoulder. He was cleared just before summer conditioning started in June. Hays has been keeping his fingers crossed ever since that Morales wouldn’t have any setbacks. Morales, a 6-foot-3, 321-pound sophomore from Arlington Houston, spent the first month of last season as the Red Raiders’ starting left guard, and he spent the first week of the current preseason practice trying to reclaim that spot. “I’m excited to see what he can do,” Hays said before training camp started. “I really like his work ethic. He’s really battled to get back in there. He has really been grinding, trying to get back.” A season’s worth of good health for Morales would be welcome for an offensive line counting on a handful of mostly underclassmen. You can envision a starting five with Morales and Beau Carpenter manning the guards, Jared Kaster at center and Le’Raven Clark at left tackle. That would leave right tackle as maybe the biggest question mark. In any event, after he missed spring practice rehabbing the shoulder, Morales sounds upbeat about what he’ll be able to contribute. “I came back from it pretty strong,” he said this past week. “We have a great training staff. Steve Pincock made my shoulder a hundred percent. I’m confident with it and I’m back. I’m glad to be back. I love playing football.” Morales admits that, as much as he loves football, missing the spring made him feel left out. On the other hand, he feels better for having gone through the experience. Now that he’s back, Morales says he won’t give the surgically repaired shoulder a second thought. “I don’t worry about getting injured,” he said. “I just play the game I love. If I get injured, I get injured. I play the game of football full speed.” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury didn’t get to evaluate Morales in the spring, but still got a sense for what he was all about. Kingsbury described Alfredo and his twin brother, offensive lineman Tony Morales, as “tough players” who “bring an attitude I like.” With only one senior and a couple of juniors in the offensive line, the Raiders can use a little nasty attitude up front. And if it comes from an underclassman eager to be back in the fray? So much the better.

Texas Tech defensive tackle Kerry Hyder doesn’t mind the spotlight that comes with being a returning all-conference performer. He’d rather share the attention with fellow senior Dartwan Bush and, frankly, is a little stumped Bush doesn’t get more notice anyway. If opposing coaches have more double-team blocking in store for Hyder this year, then Hyder has a response: Go right ahead. “If they do that, they’ve got to worry about Dartwan on the other side,” Hyder said. “A lot of people don’t know, we had the same amount of sacks and he had only two less tackles for losses than I did. Dartwan had an under-the-radar great season last year and nobody really noticed.” Well, the media maybe. Hyder was first-team All-Big 12 and Bush second-team All-Big 12 on The Associated Press team chosen by 18 writers who cover the league. This summer, the 6-foot-2, 288-pound Hyder was one of the four defensive linemen named preseason all-Big 12 while Bush (6-1, 260) didn’t make it. “I wouldn’t say (I’m) overshadowed,” Bush said. “Kerry’s a really good player, you know? I just take what I get. I don’t really complain. I feel like I do deserve a little more than I get, but at the end of the day, he’s a good player. I’m just glad he’s getting his attention.” During the Red Raiders’ 8-5 season in 2012, Hyder was third on the team with 56 tackles and led Big 12 defensive tackles with 14 tackles for loss and six sacks. Bush was sixth on the team with 41 stops while racking up 12 tackles behind the line and six sacks. His sacks and tackles-forloss totals ranked in the top eight in the conference. Both seniors will flank the noseguard in Tech’s new 3-4 front, Hyder playing tackle and Bush end in defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt’s terminology. Bush expects to be used a lot as a 5-technique, lining up on the outside shoulder of an offensive tackle. Bush is small for a 3-4 end, but Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury says Wallerstedt’s scheme will have Bush isolated one on one often enough to yield big plays. The defensive staff plans to bring plenty of pressure from the second level, possibly diverting some of the pass protection from the front three. “With what we do defensively, a guy like Dartwan Bush, if we keep him fresh in the course of the game ... . The only thing we’ve seen (potentially limiting) from Dartwan is if he holds himself back,” Wallerstedt said. “If he stays fresh, then he’s hard to block.” Wallerstedt is aware that the Red Raiders’ big dog of the defensive front thinks Bush is better than some might realize. “Kerry Hyder is his biggest endorser,” Wallerstedt said. “He’s saying, ‘Here’s a guy who had all the same numbers I had. Here I am, preseason this and that,’ yet the guy on the other side, he expects big things from him. “Dartwan, we need to get him to play at a high level every snap. He could really throw up some big numbers this year.” Bush might be in the right place at the right time. Being a senior with 17 career starts, he has the know-how to succeed. And the defense the Red Raiders have installed might give him the means to go out with a bang. “I feel like the opportunities are great for me, personally — and (for) everybody on the defense,” Bush said, “because they’re letting us go. We’re not standing back, reading people, seeing what they do. We’re attacking them. “They’re letting us go — inside, outside, just getting to the quarterback. It’s a good defense.”

2013 Texas Tech Football Date: 08-11-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Krista Pirtle Pumped-up Pete: Tech’s Pete Robertson is always ready for the game Robertson lives every day like it’s his last and plays every game like it’s his last Living every day like it’s your last and playing every football game like it’s your last aren’t phrases that sophomore linebacker Pete Robertson saw on a Nike ad and thought were pretty cool. Those life lessons were instilled in him by his mother. “I come out every day excited,” Robertson said. “My mom told me to take everything you do and do it 100 percent. Do it to the fullest. I just come out and have fun every day because you never know when you’re going to have your last day, you know? So I come out here and enjoy it every day.” That excitement is something head coach Kliff Kingsbury likes to see from his outside linebacker. “Pete’s always talking and always fired up to be out there,” Kingsbury said. “That’s what you like.” “Pistol Pete” is what co-defensive coordinator Mike Smith calls him. “He’s high motor and he’s getting after it,” said Smith, who coaches the outside linebackers. “He’s averaging two or three sacks at practice. The guy just loves football, man, and he wants to get better. He’s learning. He’s picking up the defense.” Even though the West Texas heat is a formidable opponent, the excitement the coaching staff has brought to Texas Tech football makes practice more enjoyable for Robertson. He especially appreciates Smith, his position coach. Smith graduated from Tech in 2004 and returned after spending some time both playing and coaching in the NFL. Robertson’s favorite part of Smith’s coaching philosophy of the bandit position — an outside linebacker or standup defensive end — is the freedom he allows of his players. “With Coach Smith, he’s a wonderful coach,” Robertson said. “You know, he played here a few years ago, then got drafted to Baltimore and then got a chance to coach some good guys like Jason Taylor and (Bart) Scott. At my position, he was at the next level. He takes my position and makes it way better. I just enjoy playing every single day.” Robertson moved to the starting position at bandit once sophomore Branden Jackson was moved to defensive end during the summer. The two spent spring practice dueling for a firstteam spot. Now slotted number two behind Roberton is Navarro College transfer Andre Ross. “Me and Andre, right now, I’m going with the ones because he came from a junior college right now,” Robertson said. “Don’t get me wrong, Andre is a heck of a player. My cousin played with him in junior college, and I talked to him and asked what kind of player he was. He said he was a heck of a player. Right now, he’s going with the twos and I’m going with the ones, but we rotate in and out.” One of Robertson’s best assets is speed, but he might have little, if anything, on his backup in that regard. “Andre’s fast. Faster than me,” Robertson said. “When I saw him get one good burst off the line, I knew he’s got something in him. I want to say I’m the stronger out of us two but he’s got the speed.” Robertson also likes the way defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt has things drawn up for this season. Robertson said Wallerstedt perfected the scheme during his time as an assistant at Air Force and Texas A&M. “You never know when we’re coming, who is coming or where we’re coming,” Robertson said. “He’s just got it set up perfect. Every time we send a blitz, it’s going to be at the perfect time.” While Robertson feels like he has the strength and speed to handle the job come Aug. 30 against SMU, he’s focusing on getting his weight up. At 6-foot-3, he is currently at 225 pounds but looks to maintain a weight of 235 pounds during the season. “Right now, with the heat and us running around, and I’ve got to eat a little more, I’m going in at 224, 225,” Robertson said. “I’ve got that package of the strength and the speed, I just want to get my weight up to 235 where I can hold it and handle those big offensive linemen.” Smith would like to see his weight increase but knows that the talent that comes from Robertson is one of a kind. “He can do everything,” Smith said. “He’s such a great athlete. He was a high school quarterback, then a safety, then a defensive end. He’s just great in space. When he comes off that edge, he’s screaming off of it. And when I say screaming, he really does scream when he comes off it. “He brings energy to the defense. He’s out there talking, getting the defense fired up. He

gets in the offense a little bit. He just loves the game. A guy that loves the game, you can’t hide it.” For the Red Raiders on the defensive side of the ball, a different vibe is eminating early in August. While most of the buzz around Lubbock has been about Kingsbury, the new video scoreboard and the offense, the defense has gotten the better of the offense several days during practice, according to players. The secondary is young, but the front seven returns a wealth of experience. With that dynamic, you would think that the older guys have taken a leadership role over the young ones, but that might not be the best description. There’s a camaraderie on the defensive side of the ball that unites them both on and off the field. “We hold our ones up every time we come together,” Robertson said. “I don’t think we’ve had this much fun on defense in a long time. Every single one of us is like a brother, even from the defensive line to the linebackers to the safeties. We’re like long-lost brothers. We’ve all got love for each other, so we have fun out there together.” Date: 08-12-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Texas Tech’s Bruce Jones won’t back down 5-7, 180-pound Red Raiders cornerback not afraid to take on the big guys Bruce Jones didn’t catch the opponent’s name and can’t remember the jersey number — just that he was a grain-silo sized offensive tackle from Kansas State. It very well could have been Cornelius Lucas, who is listed at 6-foot-9 and 328 pounds. This guy sure seemed 6-9 and 328. Which made him skeptical to see someone 5-7, 180 willing to scrap. When the big fella stepped into Bruce Jones’ gap that afternoon last October, the Texas Tech cornerback shifted down into the box to engage him. Jones charged forward and unloaded with everything he had. “I tried to run through him ,” Jones said, laughing at the recollection. “I gave it my all, and he barely moved. He was like, ‘OK, I see you working, but you’re just too little for me. That’s all it is. You don’t have any business in here.’ “I tried so hard to just move him a little bit,” Jones said. “He did not budge. He was huge.” Nevertheless, the story illustrates a point regarding Jones: He doesn’t back down or beg off from confrontation. For a short cornerback, he’s a willing and sure tackler, and if that’s a surprise, then well, you don’t know Jones the way Sadale Foster does. The two were opponents starting around age 16 and then teammates in college. “Ever since I’ve known him, he’s been a scrappy guy,” said Foster, the Tech running back and receiver. “He wants to get in there and be that guy that’s trying to make big hits. Bruce is a guy who’s probably around 5-8, but the way he plays the game, in his mind, he feels like he’s 6-3. I love that about him. He has confidence unlike anyone else.” That rock-solid self-assurance might come in even more handy this year. Jones is a senior, Tech’s returning leader in pass breakups and the acknowledged No. 1 corner on a roster with no other established corners. On the other hand, Jones doesn’t see his approach for 2013 being much different than it was in 2012. “It’s the same as any year, I would say,” Jones said. “A little bit more is expected out of me, from myself and from coaches, just because I’m a senior. I feel like it’s my time to do it. But as a corner, you’ve always got a lot of responsibility.” Maybe it’s not surprising that 27 of Jones’ 31 tackles last season were solos. Cornerbacks often patrol a lonely territory. However, quite a few of those stops came when Jones zeroed in off the corner to smack a running back or a quarterback on an option keeper. He had a sense for how to do that. When Jones played at Roosevelt High School in Eastvale, Calif., coaches put him at linebacker for his first year as a varsity starter. He made first-team allconference, and if Jones’ memory is correct, he got the second-most votes at the position. The linebacker who garnered the most support of the league’s coaches was Vontaze Burfict, who later starred at Arizona State and now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. “I ended up making a big impact, and it was crazy,” Jones said. “Especially back then. I think I only weighed just 160 pounds at the time, playing middle linebacker and outside. It was fun. Good memories.” If Jones’ willingness to knock heads wasn’t established before then, it was from then on. Even today, he says, the time spent as a linebacker comes into play when he’s tangling with much bigger players in the Big 12. “Oh, yeah. Of course,” he said. “If you watch film, anytime I stepped down into the box, when there was a tight end to my side, I usually fitted up my gap right or made the tackle. I’m

2013 Texas Tech Football just used to playing in those trenches. “You’ve got to have the mental commitment to do it nowadays, because of how big the linemen are. I have that commitment.” The tenacious approach is something Jones shares with Foster. Both are 5-7, a tick or two more than 180 pounds. Neither needed a year of indoctrination to immediately help the Red Raiders last season. “We both have short man’s complex,” Foster said. “The little things get to us. We’re passionate about the game. We both want the best for the team. “Being short or undersized, that’s never been a problem to us. We’ve never seen it as anything that hinders us or makes us any different from anybody else on the field. We see it as something that makes us want to work harder and be better, to open people’s eyes and let them know people our size can play as well.” Date: 08-14-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Spurring the pace: Tech implements tactical changes to make offense go faster ‘NASCAR’ out, but quicker tempo in store Texas Tech football players ran a fast-paced offense the last three years, or maybe they just thought they did. New Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury intends to pick up the pace even more, and if workouts are any indication, it’s already more a reality than a goal. “It’s a couple of notches faster than what we’re used to,” offensive lineman Beau Carpenter said, “and it’s like coach Kingsbury says: The whole offense is a two-minute drill the entire time, so we’re running downfield, getting set, just trying to wear out the defense.” Last year in the FBS, 11 teams averaged 80 or more snaps a game, whereas Tech averaged 76.5, down about six plays per game from the year before. Kingsbury wants to be back in the low 80s. The last three years, when Tommy Tuberville was head coach and Neal Brown was offensive coordinator, Tech ran some hurry-up, but went into “NASCAR” mode only in spurts. The Red Raiders are saying this year’s offense will be more fast-tempo more often. They can give specific reasons why, according to co-offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie: Communication of plays figures to be more efficient, and the offense will make fewer substitutions. If that’s not enough, coaches will harp on skill-position players to curb spontaneous celebration after a successful play and get back to the line of scrimmage for the next snap. “He (Kingsbury) says that’s one of the most intimidating things,” Carpenter said, “is catching a pass, immediately throwing it back to the official and getting lined right back up.” A non-stop fast pace might not be a panacea. Of the 11 teams that averaged 80 or more plays a year ago, only four won more than eight games and three finished 5-7. Nevertheless, it can be viewed as a way for team such as Tech, which doesn’t play with a lot of blue-chip linemen, to reduce the advantage of teams that do. “I think you can dictate how the defense lines up to it,” Cumbie said. “You get simpler looks. If you can wear their defensive line out ... . “It’s so hard to simulate in practice, going against it, from a scout-team preparation standpoint. Whether you’ve got two huddles, three huddles, however you want to do it, it’s hard to simulate it.” In recent years, the Red Raiders had the quarterback and all skill-position players looking to the sideline before the snap for different signals from different coaches. That part will change. Now it will be the quarterback checking the sideline, and everyone else getting the call from the quarterback. “The communication of the plays from the sideline to the quarterback’s different,” Cumbie said, “and I think that really helps speed up the pace of play. And all the skill guys are looking to the same spot for the plays, so I think that helps you push the tempo a little faster.” Within series, the Red Raiders also plan to reduce the swapping of personnel packages that they’ve employed in recent years. “You just try to let your guys roll a little more,” Cumbie said. “We just try to let those guys stay in and the good guys play as much as they can, as long as they’re not hurting us, so that’s the big thing. You don’t sub as much.” Of course, the whole group can operate only as quickly as its subsets — or its slowest individual. Carpenter, a junior who’s trying to nail down a starting job at right guard, said the linemen know they have to keep up. “It’s definitely a faster pace than what we’re used to,” Carpenter said, “and it’s something you’ve got to slowly get adjusted to. But that’s what fall camp is for.” Playing fast A list of the FBS teams that ran 80 or more plays per game last season, with final record and

Sophomore Michael Brewer’s back injury has clouded the picture, leading to more uncertainty about who’ll start the Aug. 30 season opener at SMU. In all this drama, people begin to focus on who is throwing the football instead of who will be catching it, though the second half of the equation seems much more settled. Senior wide receiver Eric Ward is on the Biletnikoff Award watch list, back for his senior year after back-to-back 80-catch seasons. Lining up on the outside opposite Ward is junior Bradley Marquez, back from his summer with the Kingsport Mets, a minor league affiliate of the New York Mets. “We’re outside receivers all together and we help each other out,” Marquez said. “(We’re) definitely looking up to Eric Ward, you know. He’s the man and he’s definitely the guy that we all look up to and can provide us with some good insight and experience.” The duo of inside receivers — 6-foot-5, 257-pound junior Jace Amaro and 5-foot-6, 163-pound Jakeem Grant — can cause frustration for opposing coaches in different ways. Amaro can barrel over tacklers while Grant can zip right by them. For many, the lasting image of Grant from the 2012 season had to do with his kickoffreturn touchdowns in each of the final two games. But now he wants to improve on his total of 33 pass receptions. “I’m ready to add to my receiving capability,” he said. “Show them that I’m not only a kickoff return specialist; I can catch the ball, make moves and score touchdowns. I can turn a 5-yard route into a 60-yard gain. I’m a quick-twitch guy. Stuff that I can show the world that Jakeem Grant is not just a specialist.” Ward, Marquez, Amaro and Grant — that makes four threats the defense has to watch for, and then there is the running game. “I feel like across the board we’re probably one of the top skill positions from quarterback to running back,” Amaro said. “Our running backs are deep. You’ve got Kenny (Williams), DeAndre (Washington), and I just personally don’t think they’re going to be able to guard every single one of us. If they do choose to guard me, it’s just going to open up Eric, Jakeem or Bradley, and I just feel like they’re not going to be able to do that.” In other words, opposing teams will have to pick their poison when it comes to defending the Red Raiders. While the starting four are experienced and have had success, bringing along the lessproven depth has been one of the focuses of August workouts. Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said this summer he feels good about Jordan Davis and Sadale Foster behind Amaro and Grant, respectively, and Reginald Davis backing up Marquez. Kingsbury and wide receivers coach Sonny Cumbie have been hoping to see sophomore Derreck Edwards or redshirt freshman Dominique Wheeler provide a suitable substitute for Ward at split end. They’ve indicated that someone from the February signing class also could factor in. Practices have been closed since day two, and neither Tech players nor coaches have been available to the media since last Friday. However, Cumbie said last week that one of the true freshmen, D.J. Polite-Bray, was off to a good start. Grant said he’s confident some of the young pass catchers will emerge. “I feel like we have a few freshmen like D.J. Polite-Bray,” Grant said. “To me, he came in this

2013 Texas Tech Football summer and worked hard. I feel like he could play. He’s a great receiver. He’s a quick-twitch guy but he’s a taller guy. “We have (Reginald) Davis and (Dominique) Wheeler. Those guys are also very good guys. Reggie has good hands and is a good jumper. He can make you miss. He can beat you deep on a go ball, and Wheeler is the same exact as Reginald Davis.” True freshmen Gary Moore and Dylan Cantrell built expectations before camp started, the 6-foot-5 Moore with his on-campus summer workouts and Cantrell with a big performance in the Texas High School Coaches Association all-star game. Whether it’s this season or in years to come, Moore’s height offers a different dimension. “He’ll be a great guy,” Grant said. “He can run routes. He’ll be a good jump-ball guy. We have a great depth of guys that’s going to be making an impact on this offense and going to be a real threat to our opponent’s defense.” With all the options for four receiving slots, the competition is high in preseason, for the projected starters to stay sharp and for new names fighting to get into the rotation. “It’s a healthy, good battle amongst all of us,” Marquez said. “The biggest thing is we want to see each other be successful. We want to help each other out. Sometimes other guys may do things a little bit better than others and they can help you out with how they do things and help you better your craft. We have a great relationship in our position group as a whole and so we just have pretty much a family in here.” Date: 08-16-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Tech preparing to start true freshman quarterback Walk-on from Lake Travis pushing for job Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury acknowledged on Friday that Michael Brewer has a back injury, and the likelihood grew that the Red Raiders will open the season with a true freshman starting at quarterback. Second-semester freshman Davis Webb and newcomer Baker Mayfield, a walk-on despite a prolific high school career, have been splitting snaps. Brewer has been the presumptive 2013 starter since he backed up Seth Doege last season, but Kingsbury said he has not practiced in a week. “He aggravated his back,” Kingsbury said. “That’s an injury he’s been dealing with. It’s kind of day to day at this point.” Kingsbury had said he expected to name a starting quarterback after the team’s second preseason scrimmage, scheduled for Saturday, but now that won’t happen. “It’ll be a game-time decision now,” he said. “We’ll let them play it out these next few weeks and go from there.” Before the early training camp developments, Brewer was in a battle for the job with Webb. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Prosper product took advantage of being a mid-term graduate who went through spring practice. Now Webb is in a battle with the 6-1, 210-pound Mayfield, who two years ago led Austin Lake Travis to a 16-0 season and the Class 4A Division I state championship. That season, he passed for 3,700 yards and 45 touchdowns with four interceptions and ran for 745 yards. Mayfield and Lake Travis were derailed last season in their bid for a sixth consecutive state title, two of which were engineered by Brewer. Mayfield passed up scholarship offers to Rice, Florida International and Washington State while holding out hope for an offer from TCU. Ultimately, he walked on at Tech. Though his name might be unfamiliar to Tech fans, Kingsbury and co-offensive coordinator Eric Morris, who coached at Washington State last season, have followed him for a long time. “We went after him hard,” Kingsbury said. “When I was at the University of Houston, I recruited him as a sophomore. Coach Morris offered him at Washington State. He kind of got left out there at the end, but we knew he was a scholarship-type player, so we’re excited that he’s here obviously.” Lake Travis, playing in Class 5A for the first time, was upset last in bi-district last season, finishing 9-2. Mayfield passed for 2,497 yards with 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions. “He was a great player in high school,” Kingsbury said. “He can run around, make plays, real confident, strong arm. Like I said, he’s a scholarship-type athlete. We really lucked out on that deal.”

Date: 08-22-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Krista Pirtle Foster ready to contribute any way he can for Red Raiders Expect to see talented back lined up at receiver and in the backfield as well as returning punts Senior Sadale Foster is willing to do whatever it takes to bring success to Texas Tech football. During the offseason, Foster became a jack of all trades, or at least of three positions — running back, receiver and punt returner. “It wasn’t much talk about it, you know,” Foster said. “Coach asked me if I could do it, and he knew that I’ve done it before in junior college. I told him I could do it. I just told him that I would do anything to help the team. I did half of it, half at running back in the spring. Any way we can mix it up to get me the ball is good.” Foster is currently listed behind sophomore Jakeem Grant at inside receiver. Both are very similar in size, Foster is listed at 5-foot-7, 181 pounds and Grant is 5-6, 163. Grant adds that both are “quick twitch” guys, meaning they are better in short bursts of strength and speed. “I love my new role at receiver,” Foster said. “I’m just trying to embrace it and do everything I can to be on the field to help my team win games.” In the backfield, Foster is one of many talented athletes. Senior Kenny Williams and sophomore DeAndre Washington are listed atop the depth chart while newcomers Tyler Middleton, a junior transfer, and freshman Quinton White have been competing for reps in practice. “(They’re looking) really good,” head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “Really been proud of DeAndre and Kenny. They’ve stepped up and done a great job of leading the offense. They’re two guys that can take it anytime you give it to them so we’re excited about them.” Foster will also have a role on special teams, currently listed at the top of the depth chart for punt return. His ease at making the transition comes from his two years at Riverside City College in Riverside, Calif., where he was a unanimous first-team All-National Division East Conference selection as a punt returner in 2011 as well as one of the team’s top receivers. As a punt returner, Foster returned 24 kicks for a 13.4 average with one touchdown. “I’m really excited about punt return,” Foster said. “When the coaches first came to me and I told them about me playing punt return and everything, we talked about it and (the coaches) said ‘We’ll see’ because (the coaches) hadn’t really seen me play punt return since I’ve been here. You can look back at some of my film when I was in junior college and I can actually do it. So, when it came out to the spring, we competed about it and I didn’t really drop too many punts so that put me at the forefront. “But we have to compete again now so I have to keep it up. It’s something I’m real excited about. I love doing it. It just brings a thrill to the game. I could change the pace of the game instantly with a punt return.” While he was at Riverside City College, Foster had a much different role. Instead of supporting and helping his teammates, he was asked to be the guy. As a wide receiver he caught 56 passes for 750 yards and 12 touchdowns. He ended his career at Riverside with a 21-1 record in two seasons, leading the Tigers to a perfect season and a postseason win over Saddleback College in the Golden State Bowl. “I’ve done a lot of things as far as my junior college career, and it was a lot asked of me,” Foster said. “I was asked to be the guy on my junior college team. I was the guy that was going to catch nine or 10 balls a game. I was expected to score touchdowns when I got those opportunities. On the team that I’m on now, we have a lot of weapons and I’m not expected to do that much, but I’m expected to do a lot. I like being in a position where the ball’s going to be in my hands and I’m able to make big plays and help my team be successful. “But when you’re surrounded by guys like Eric Ward, Kenny Williams and Jakeem Grant, who’s a speedster, that just lightens your load. The focus of attention is not so much on me as far as what I’m doing. We’re all going to help each other, free each other, help the running game, and the running game will help the passing game, so it will be good.”

Texas Tech’s Jace Amaro returns bigger, faster and with a new attitude after sour end to 2012

‘Ride Together’ holds special meaning for Tech football team Slogan helps represent sense of camaraderie missing last season

Tight end Jace Amaro, the highest ranked player ever to sign with the Red Raiders in the recruiting websites age, worked hard to get back in time for the bowl game after a spleen injury derailed his sophomore season and perhaps a year to remember. In the third quarter of the 2012 Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, however, Amaro was ejected for punching a Minnesota defensive back after a scuffle. All that hard work went for just 15 yards on two receptions and a first half suspension to be served in the season-opener at SMU. What will the Red Raiders get when the Gerald J. Ford Stadium scoreboard lights up with 15 minutes to go in the third quarter? “I think I’ve always had the physical attributes out there,” Amaro said. “I just don’t think my mental state of mind was the best it could have been. That’s one thing I really meditated on this summer and what I really fixed this summer. I was always kind of a hothead back in high school and my first couple of years I didn’t know how to control my emotions sometimes. “That’s one thing I worked on really well and it has prepared me to use my emotions more as energy instead of exerting that into expressions.” The 21-year-old junior can play. There’s no doubt about it. Amaro was the first ever player ranked in the top 100 nationally by Rivals.com to sign with Texas Tech back in 2011. He’s also the only currently player on the roster to rank within a national top 100 high school list with defensive tackle Delvon Simmons’ recent transfer to USC. After backing up Adam James his freshman season, the big tight end broke out with an impressive game against Iowa State and then played a big role early in the upset win against West Virginia as a sophomore. But in the win against the Mountaineers Amaro was hit in a vulnerable position, suffered the spleen injury and didn’t return for the rest of the regular season as a 5-1 start with him deteriorated into a 7-5 finish without him. He still finished the regular season with 394 yards on 23 grabs and three touchdowns. All indications are this is the year Amaro becomes a Big 12 household name. He is the Red Raider with the most upside from a draft analysis standpoint. “I actually gained a little weight,” Amaro, who is listed 6-foot-5 and an outdated 260 pounds, said. “I was at 14 percent body weight before, right after the bowl game. Now I’m at about six (percent). Those guys in there, the strength and conditioning staff, really helped me a lot. I can tell I’m more explosive and in a lot greater shape than I was last year because this coaching staff expects me to play the whole entire game this season once I get out there. They expect me to play as fast as I can which I know I can.” Kliff Kingsbury sees the improvement. “He looks really good,” the head coach said. “He had a great summer with (strength and conditioning coach Chad) Dennis. He weighs more than he ever weighed, but his body fat is down and he’s runner faster than he did in the spring. That’s exciting. It’ll be a challenge not having him in that first half and we’re going to have to be creative on offense and see what we can do.” Texas Tech had a strange two-year history in the first half of games against seasonopening opponents before removing all doubt early against Northwestern State this past campaign. The Red Raiders had to scrap and claw to get past SMU, 35-27, in 2010 and actually trailed Texas State by a point at halftime in 2011. Amaro could have really helped one of two true freshmen quarterbacks expected to start against SMU get some early confidence rather than serving a penalty on the sideline. The physical tools are there. There might not be a better tight end in the country. It’s all about composure. That’s not lost on him. He seems to have a better understanding of how much he means to a team hoping to shake off three years of up-and-down performances with a brand new coaching staff and an early quarterback setback. “It’s bad,” Amaro said. “There’s a lot put on me. This offense runs a lot through me. I just don’t want to be out there and not able to play. If some things go bad — Maybe we’re losing at halftime or something like that. New quarterbacks, new coaching staff and basically a whole new team. In the past few years we’ve always had a really rough start in the first half, and I know that’s just because it’s the first game. “I feel like, once I get back out there, I’m expecting to catch as many balls as I can and not come out of the game no matter what the score is when halftime reaches.”

Words can hold more power than they get credit for. No matter the length or number, words have the ability to affect just about anything. For Texas Tech, two words converge and describe what the university is all about – ride together. While that phrase carries weight for students, faculty, alumni and fans alike, it didn’t hold much meaning for Red Raider football until now. “I feel like we’ve, as a team, we’ve never really rode together,” junior tight end Jace Amaro said. “There have always been outputs, people having battles with each other, kind of an offensive, defensive team. I feel like now we’re actually together now and we’re playing for each other. We’re not playing to see who’s better, offense or defense, against each other. I finally feel like we have the chemistry to put all of this together for a great season, a greater season than anyone’s expected.” For sophomore running back DeAndre Washington, he attributes a part of this change to what Tech saw both on and off the field from Kansas State, defending Big 12 champions going into this season. “You play for the man next to you,” Washington said. “Don’t do nothing that will hurt the team. You know you always got that man next to you back. Another team that does a good job with that is Kansas State. We just kind of took heed to that and just stay with one another.” Texas Tech football could be looking to emulate K-State’s run last season; the Wildcats were picked sixth in the preseason in the Big 12 before going 8-1 in league play and winning the Big 12. The Red Raiders know that while the excitement is through the roof for this season, they also need to back up the hype with some production on the field. “We know what we have in our locker room and we put a lot of work and time into it from the coaching staff and everybody else and we’re just all in it together as a whole,” junior wide receiver Bradley Marquez said. “We have a great relationship in there. It’s truly a family atmosphere in there. Everybody knows everybody from top to bottom. It’s just a great atmosphere to be around.” Trust in the program has been shaky, from coaching changes to a lack of chemistry in the locker room. “It’s the little things that make a team great,” senior running back Sadale Foster said. “If we can get closer to where we can trust the man next to us and know that if I mess up, he’s going to have my back. That’s going to make us a better team.” Former head coach Tommy Tuberville left Texas Tech for Cincinnati on Dec. 8, merely 20 days before facing Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Houston. That sudden departure sparked this idea of a brotherhood for the Red Raiders, an idea that the team needed to come together instead of being the white-jerseyed offensive guys and the blackjerseyed defensive guys. “When that whole thing went down with the former coaches and whatnot, all the players were like ‘What’s going on,’” sophomore offensive lineman Jared Kaster said. “We have no one but ourselves. We aren’t playing for the guy on the back of our jersey. We’re playing for what’s on our front. We all just kind of stood together. I’m going to ride for you, I’m going to die for you. It means a lot not just for me but for everybody. It’s a symbol of who we are and what we want to accomplish as a team.” Four days later, on Dec. 12, Texas Tech hired former standout quarterback Kliff Kingsbury to take over the helm of the football program. After the division Tuberville left in his departure, it was important to get someone that not only the team but the city of Lubbock and the entire Texas Tech fan base could rally around. “We’re all in this together,” Kingsbury said. “I let these guys know that we’re in the trenches; we’re not coaching from a soapbox. We’re part of this school and this is our school, too.” Six out of the 11 coaches that make up Kingsbury’s inaugural staff at Tech are former players at Texas Tech. With men that have been in their shoes before, not just on the gridiron but in the classroom and around the town, it has been easy for the team to trust these new coaches that want to take this program to the next level and beyond. “Right now, everything’s great,” safeties coach and special teams coordinator Trey Haverty said. “It’s the honeymoon; everyone’s excited but there’s going to be some tough times. Week one against SMU it could be here, week two, week three, but ride together. Just stick together more than anything because when tough times come, are you going to be the guy that sits here and says ‘You should have done this, you should have done this’ or are you going to stick together

2013 Texas Tech Football because it takes time?” Sticking together through thick and thin is what those two words embody. It is more than wins and losses; it’s the ability to have someone to lean on when the going gets tough and to have someone to celebrate with when the going gets really good. Riding together means you’re not in this alone, and that’s an important realization for a team entering the 2013 season with a point to prove. “We’ve got a plan to build something special, a dynasty,” Haverty said. “You’re not going to do it overnight and we know that.” Date: 08-26-13 Publisher: The Daily Orange Author: Sam Blum Texas Tech receiver moonlights as minor league outfielder Bradley Marquez has no offseason. While most Texas Tech players spend their summers taking classes and training for the grueling Big 12 competition, the wide receiver Marquez trades in his shoulder pads and helmet for a bat and glove, and heads up to Kingsport, Tenn., to play baseball for the Kingsport Mets of the Rookie Appalachian League. For the last two summers, Marquez has moonlighted as a left fielder in the New York Mets organization. He was already committed to the Red Raiders when the Mets selected him in the 16th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball amateur draft. Unable to decide between the stardom of playing big-time college football or entering the uncertain and tumultuous path toward the Major Leagues, Marquez chose both. “I was young, just coming out of high school, not really knowing exactly what my future held,” Marquez said. “At that time I didn’t know what my calling was, whether it’d be baseball or football. I love both sports. They’re two different games, but I do them both. I wasn’t ready to choose.” While the option remained open for Marquez to play baseball at TTU, he chose to tackle the professional ranks. The Mets organization would pay for his scholarship, and he would be committed to them from basically the day school ended up until the beginning of Texas Tech training camp each year. The Mets also rewarded him with a $350,000 signing bonus, but the contract stipulated that he would lose $250,000 if he didn’t commit himself to the Mets full time by Sept. 15, 2013. When the date for him to report to football training camp came this summer, Marquez packed up and returned to Lubbock, Texas, for his junior year. “It was something that weighed on me a lot,” Marquez said. “My family and me discussed some things. I hope it all works out for me. Obviously you don’t know that right now.” It had been working out for Marquez until he suffered a season-ending right knee injury midway through his sophomore season. In his freshman season, he caught 25 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown in 12 games, while developing into one of the team’s best kick returners. Before injuring his knee as a sophomore, he hauled in 16 receptions for 172 yards in six games. In Kingsport, the outfielder struggled early this season, but hit .306 with four doubles in his last 19 games. Kingsport manager José Leger said that even with the continued improvement, he believed that Marquez never had any intention of becoming a Met full-time following the 2013 season. “He was excited about the progress he had, but he really had his mind made up before he started the year with us,” Leger said. “I think it was a decision he was going to make no matter how well he was doing. That’s my feeling.” So the balancing act continues for Marquez. He said he has every intention of continuing his baseball career next summer, a decision that will force him to once again miss off-season training at Texas Tech. As a result he has to take an additional six credit hours during the football season. At Odessa High School in Odessa, Texas, playing two sports and getting his work done was not nearly as difficult for Marquez. Odessa football coach Ron King said that he took care of his business in the classroom and excelled at both baseball and football. And though King said he believes Marquez will be a more-than-capable professional athlete in whichever sport he chooses, he also thinks it might be in his best interest to make a selection. “Would I think it’d fit him if he just picked one sport over the other and applied to it? Well, yes, I do,” King said. “He’ll spend more time, he’ll have more training. But that’s his decision.” While some may infer that his decision to decline the signing bonus is an indication of his commitment toward a career in football, Marquez was adamant about his loyalty to the Mets.

“I’m still playing baseball regardless,” Marquez said. “I’m still part of the organization. I just don’t get that other amount of money. It’s still doing both.” As it was the case when he was first drafted by the Mets coming out of high school, Marquez is still not ready to make a decision. “Obviously it’s a hard (decision), and maybe others would do differently,” Marquez said, “but it’s just the way that it is, and the way I’m going to approach everything for the future.” Date: 08-28-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Tech’s new coach ready for debut Coming of age It might come as a surprise to learn Kliff Kingsbury never spent much time dreaming about becoming what he’s become — the Texas Tech football coach. Heck, for that matter, he never even thought much about becoming a coach at all. Not even with his father, Tim Kingsbury, being his high school coach at New Braunfels. All those hours devoted to watching film, knocking around football fields and locker rooms, and no thought to becoming a coach? “I was studying film, but I wanted to play quarterback,” Kingsbury said recently. “This,” he said of coaching, “was, I guess, option number two.” Kingsbury revealed this summer that even when his short career as an NFL quarterback ended, his aspirations went beyond football. Five years ago, even after he was hired to an entrylevel coaching position at the University of Houston, he intended to return to school for an MBA. Remember, in 2002, the year Kingsbury threw for 5,000 yards as a Texas Tech senior, he was in the small circle of players to receive a post-graduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation and was named academic all-America player of the year. “I got into coaching randomly,” he said. “I worked with Dana Holgorsen one summer at U of H and fell into it. As soon as I did it, I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to work as hard as I can, just like I did when I was a player, and see where this takes me.’” That was 2008. Kingsbury couldn’t have imagined it would take him to being head coach of his alma mater — the first former Red Raider to lead the Red Raiders — five years later. Four of the charter-member assistants from Mike Leach’s first Tech staff are now head coaches in the FBS: Holgorsen at West Virginia, Art Briles at Baylor, Ruffin McNeill at East Carolina and Sonny Dykes at California. All four watched Kingsbury grow from his sophomore through senior seasons. “The whole time, he was in my office nearly every day,” Briles said. “I just think he’s a good guy for football. He’s a guy that’s good for our game. He’s a positive person, works hard. He’s passionate about it, and he’s a very intelligent person. I think he’s at a good spot at a good time for him and Texas Tech.” Many seem to agree. Whatever doubts there have been are centered around whether Kingsbury’s debut at age 34 is too much, too soon. The 2013 season will be only the sixth of Kingsbury’s coaching career. He’s spent only three years as a coordinator. Becoming a head coach in a major conference in such a short time is a big jump. “He’ll handle it just fine,” Holgorsen said. “Everybody talks about Kliff being young and inexperienced. Well, Kliff’s been around the game for 33 years, growing up as coach’s kid.” Holgorsen acknowledged that Kingsbury has a whole new, long list of responsibilities. He’ll have to know what’s going on with the defense, the special teams, his players’ academics, the strength and conditioning program, football operations and recruiting. Not to mention he becomes the face of the program with fans and media, fulfilling obligations to each that take time out of the day. “From an offensive standpoint, he’s got everything you want,” Holgorsen said. “He’s smart. He understands how to game plan. He understands how to call plays. He understands how to keep things rolling practice-wise. “It takes some time to be able to figure out if you know how to do all the other stuff, which I’ve got complete confidence that he’s smart enough and is really good with young men to be able to understand the rest of it.” Briles, when asked what problems Kingsbury would encounter, focused more on the situations that any coach faces. “Same we all have,” he said. “I mean, keeping guys motivated. Keeping them bonded together as a team. Keeping everything the way it needs to be when things aren’t the way you want them to be. Those things, it doesn’t matter if you’re 33 or 83, that’s always going to be there.” Kingsbury just turned 34 in early August. He seems to connect easily with players, given

2013 Texas Tech Football their proximity in age, the coach’s hip reputation and his ability to speak their language. “He’s easy to relate to,” defensive lineman Kerry Hyder said, “because he’s been there, done that and he’s not that far removed from the college football lifestyle.” Former coach Tommy Tuberville once said he didn’t make rules just “to harass.” He let players wear their hair how they wanted, for example. But he was a stickler for other details, such as being on time and removing caps and earrings in the football building. Wide receiver Eric Ward said it’s not as tight a ship in some ways. The loud music that now serves as a backdrop to Tech practices is one example. “It’s more player friendly,”Ward said. “You have the freedom to listen to music. We couldn’t listen to music (before). That means a lot. Music is a natural healer, I would say. It means a lot to players that coach really cares about you. He’s not trying to take away your privileges.” That doesn’t mean Kingsbury’s a pushover, or that the kids run the team. Those inside the Tech football building say Kingsbury got the point across quickly that he takes his players’ academics seriously. He doesn’t abide classroom slackers. That’s just part of the whole. “He’s a real cool guy,” Hyder said. “But at the same time, he’s all about business, all about getting stuff done. Things have changed — it’s more relaxed, more swagged out — but the discipline hasn’t changed. He’s in charge, and he lets us know that.” Kingsbury says he takes a much — maybe even most or all — of his management style from the head coach for whom he worked the last five years. Few mentors seem to have influenced him more than Kevin Sumlin, his boss at Houston and Texas A&M. That seems to be especially true when it comes to managing people. Kingsbury admires how Sumlin gets the most out of his players and assistant coaches. “They played their butts off and worked their butts off for him, because of the way he treated them and the way he motivated them,” Kingsbury said. “He let them be their own man. A lot of (head coaches) wouldn’t let a coordinator do what I did, calling plays. That shows the type of trust he has in his coaches. That means a lot.” This season, Kingsbury will be his own man more than ever. Tech fans will see if the motivational skills he’s learned in the last few years will lead to diligence and relentless effort on the Red Raiders’ part. In Kingsbury’s first eight months on the job, he couldn’t have asked for a much better reception. He was so overwhelmed by his alma mater’s embrace that he recently asked Tech vendors to stop selling T-shirts bearing his likeness, and please just promote the university. “But it’s all fun,” he said of the positive attention. “It’s all part of the deal and part of the program. We’re still undefeated and everybody’s fired up, and we’ll see how long that lasts. But it’s been great. I’m a Red Raider, I went to school (here) and I couldn’t be more proud of the program.” Date: 08-30-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Mayfield’s big night opens Kingsbury era with 41-23 win over SMU Mayfield threw four touchdown passes Friday night DALLAS – Kliff Kingsbury tried to keep it secret all week that walk-on freshman Baker Mayfield would start for Texas Tech in the season opener. Now the cat’s out of the bag, and Mayfield looks like anything but a stopgap. Mayfield threw four touchdown passes Friday night and Texas Tech started the Kingsbury coaching era beating SMU 41-23 in front of a full house at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. Wearing the No. 6 that Graham Harrell made famous, Mayfield broke a school record for completions in a career debut. And naturally, because he’s coached both, Kingsbury was asked how Mayfield’s debut compared to that of Johnny Manziel. “Very similar in their mentalities,” Kingsbury said. “Johnny’s a phenom athletically. He does stuff with his feet that we’ve never seen anybody do on a college football field. It’s tough to make that comparison. But as far as the fearlessness and just attacking and not getting up and down and flustered, I saw that same look in Baker’s eyes.” Mayfield finished the night 43 of 60 for 413 yards. And the newcomer from Lake Travis made Tech fans breathe a little easier by running in a fourth-quarter touchdown that had a whiff of Johnny Football. With Tech up 20-16, Mayfield looked right, darted left, dodged a tackler and ran in from 11 yards — then threw his chest back and did a double Guns Up. That’s a good way to win people over. “He found a way to get in,” Kingsbury said. “It wasn’t beautiful. It’s not Johnny Manziel, but he’s a tough kid. He’s bigger, stronger than you think. He does just enough to keep plays alive

and make you make plays.” He might have done just enough to shed his walk-on label right off the bat. Kingsbury acknowledged he needs to check the scholarship numbers to see if one could be freed up for Mayfield. His touchdown run came one play after Tech running backs ran together on first-and-goal from the 2, causing a 9-yard loss. When Mayfield came off after his TD, Kingsbury spent a long time in his ear. “I was talking about the play before where they ran into each other,” Kingsbury said. “That was completely his (Mayfield’s) fault. I was just letting him know about that. He made up some check at the line that we don’t have, so they ran into each other.” Mayfield threw scoring passes of 33 yards to Jordan Davis and 10 yards to Bradley Marquez as Tech pulled out of a 6-6 tie late in the first half. Marquez’s touchdown catch made it 20-9 in the third quarter and Tech poured it on in the fourth quarter for its 15th win in a row against SMU. After his fourth-quarter TD run, Mayfield flipped a 3-yard scoring pass to Jakeem Grant to put the game out of reach and a 22-yarder to Reginald Davis that made it 41-16. Kingsbury rocketed onto the hot coaches’ list last season, shepherding Manziel to the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M before getting the call to take over his alma mater. Mayfield wasn’t exactly Manziel, but he looked gung-ho and confident — like the guy who led Lake Travis to a 16-0 season and a state title two years ago. The experience came in handy as he took a crash course in Kingsbury’s offense. “It’s not too hard to learn, but it’s really difficult to operate,” Kingsbury said. “He had great coaches in high school at Lake Travis that prepared him for that moment. You could tell he was coached that way and played in a similar offense, so when he got in there, it was like old hat to him.” In fact, he might have been a little too confident. He had passes deflected near the line, took four sacks, lost the handle a few times and took some big hits. Once, he came up shaking his head vigorously after the Mustangs were flagged for roughing the passer. Somehow, though, Mayfield played keep-away from a team that had 37 takeaways last season and tied an NCAA record with eight interception-return touchdowns. He got a big helping hand from a Tech defense that delivered on new defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt’s promise to bring the heat. The Red Raiders sacked SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert five times — more sacks than they had in any game last year. It could have been six, but Gilbert made a desperate throw-away with Kerry Hyder wrapped around him midway through the fourth quarter. Gilbert brought SMU within 20-16, however, scrambling 23 yards up the middle for a third-quarter touchdown. SMU got three field goals from Chase Hover, including a 51-yarder that cut Tech’s lead to 13-9 as time ran out in the first half. In the first half, Mayfield was 18 for 27 for 148 yards and fellow Lake Travis grad Gilbert was 15 of 21 for 157 yards. But the defenses took turns bowing up in the red zone. Both teams had 14-play drives ending in field goals to start the game. Tech’s Ryan Bustin kicked his second field goal early in the second quarter for a 6-3 lead. That was right after Mayfield kept on fourth-and-goal from the 1 and ran in, only to have it wiped out by holding. Kingsbury says one attribute he’ll seek in a quarterback is the ability to keep plays alive, which might explain why Mayfield beat out fellow freshmen Davis Webb and Clayton Nicholas. Though he didn’t have many big runs other than the touchdown, he had no problem taking off — either on designed runs or to avoid pressure. Kingsbury said he never considered inserting the other QBs, because of what he’d seen all week from Mayfield in closed practices. “He had practiced like a senior all week, and I expected him to play really well,” Kingsbury said. “I couldn’t be more impressed with the operation, the way he handled his teammates and just happy that he got to play as well as I thought he would. “The checks he made, the things he was doing and the communication with his teammates, it didn’t look like a true freshman that got there second summer session and hadn’t had spring ball yet.” Tech tight end Jace Amaro was suspended for the first half, a result of his punching a Minnesota player in the second half of last year’s season finale bowl game. Amaro was a big help as soon as he came back. With Tech up 13-9, Mayfield threw passes of 18, 12 and 12 yards to Amaro on the 13-play, 80-yard drive that ended with the touchdown pass to Marquez. After he came off the field following that TD, Mayfield consulted briefly with Michael Brewer, the quarterback who was supposed to start for Tech before suffering a back injury this summer. Brewer watched from the sideline, wearing wind pants, his jersey and a visor. Kingsbury doesn’t let freshmen talk to the media, so it’ll be some time before anyone hears from Mayfield. Kingsbury said he’s not worried about Mayfield keeping his head on straight in the meantime.

2013 Texas Tech Football “He’s very grounded,” Kingsbury said. “I haven’t been around many kids with as big a chip on their shoulder and rightfully so. I think that’s going to keep him grounded and keep him pushing forward.” Date: 08-31-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Mayfield goes from unknown to big debut in just over a month Walk-on QB from Lake Travis dazzles in debut vs. SMU DALLAS — Baker Mayfield didn’t attract the attention most Texas Tech freshmen football players receive, nor did he have as much preparation time. But he’s achieved the unthinkable in less than eight weeks. Mayfield, a walk-on who didn’t arrive on campus until the second summer-school session in mid-July, completed a Tech debut record 43 of 60 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns in Friday’s season-opening 41-23 victory at SMU. Amazing, given where he started. Mayfield’s ascent began in 7-on-7 sessions for young players “after practice, after the real practice,” Kliff Kingsbury said. And it didn’t take the Tech coach long to be reminded how Mayfield led Lake Travis to a perfect season and a state championship two years ago. “Really, that first young guy’s 7 on 7,” Kingsbury said. “He’s completing it to these guys and going up and down the field. And I thought, ‘Wow, he’s even better than I thought.’” Then he got snaps with the second team, then the first team, then the starting job for the season opener, where he looked as fearless as he had in practice. Kingsbury said he didn’t go in with a game plan for Mayfield to throw 60 passes on opening night. “They did a great job stuffing the run and we’ve got talented backs we want to get the ball more, but it wasn’t working,” Kingsbury said. “So we knew we could put it on his shoulders and have great playmakers outside, and Baker did a good job of getting it to them.” Mayfield’s numbers could have been even better, but he had a few dropped passes. They could have been worse, too, because he was lucky to have no turnovers. Mayfield fumbled twice and was sacked four times, hit hard enough on one to come up vigorously shaking his head. The Mustangs broke up seven passes, tipping two or three up for grabs. “He was living right on some of those,” Kingsbury said. “Just dropped some snaps. That can’t happen. We’ve got to clean that up. Get rid of the ball when it’s not there and don’t force it. If you’re going to call 70 passes for a true freshman, that’s going to happen, but he kept fighting and found a way.” Senior wide receiver Eric Ward helped in a big way with 13 catches for 150 yards. Mayfield, who’s listed at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, helped himself several other times by slinging passes through tight windows. “He’ll do that,” Kingsbury said. “He can rip it. He’s got a really strong arm. It can be a little too strong sometimes. He’s got to learn some touch on a couple of those throws, but he keeps attacking. That’s what’s fun about him.” With the game tied at 6 late in the first half, Mayfield hit inside receiver Jordan Davis over the middle, and Davis turned it into a 33-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Then came a 10yard scoring pass to Bradley Marquez in the third quarter and Mayfield dashing 11 yards for a touchdown and a 27-16 lead with 10:05 left in the game. Late in the game, Jakeem Grant ran a short flag route to catch a 3-yard touchdown pass, and then Mayfield threw a 22-yard touchdown pass on which flanker Reginald Davis made a tackle-dodging, cross-field run. Kingsbury said he never considered inserting Davis Webb, the quarterback with whom Mayfield battled for the job in training camp. Kingsbury said that was less a reflection on Webb and “more philosophy. It’s just what I believe in.” “He did some good things early,” Kingsbury said of Mayfield, “and I thought he got better and better as the game went on.” Sophomore Michael Brewer — like Mayfield a former state-champion quarterback at Lake Travis — was the favorite to win the job after last season. Brewer’s been out with a back injury since early August. On Saturday, the Austin American-Statesman reported that Brewer will see a back specialist on Sept. 9 in Dallas to see if he can start practicing again. Kingsbury said he’s not sure what happens when Brewer gets back in the mix. “It’s a tough question,” Kingsbury said, “because Davis is a guy who we feel we can win with as well. He stepped right back in (after spring practice), had a great camp and those guys aren’t normal, true-freshmen type kids. Both of them can win ball games. And Michael was really good in the spring, had some good practices early. We’ll just go from here, evaluate the tape and keep getting everybody reps.”

Date: 09-03-13 Publisher: Dallas Morning News Author: Mike Graham QB Baker Mayfield told jokes to teammates as Red Raiders drove for opening score Who is Baker Mayfield? Texas Tech’s freshman quarterback looked like an emerging emotional leader as he charged into the end zone and fired up the Red Raider fan base by flashing the ‘guns up’ sign at SMU’s home stadium. He looked like fearless gunslinger most of the time in a 41-23 win. He looks like he has a great future, and the Big 12 awarded him Offensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in Week 1. Mayfield is a guy who shows up on game day and then goes back below the surface. He, and the rest of the freshmen on the Texas Tech roster, aren’t allowed to talk to the media which will only allow people to figure him out from word of mouth. So, the Lubbock media dug in deep Monday during the football team’s media luncheon to learn as much as they could about the first true freshman walk-on to start a game for a BCS program. “Baker is a different type of player,” receiver Eric Ward said. “He’s always confident. You should see him in practice. He’s not your average walk on. I know the media refers to him as a walk on, but to us, he’s not a walk on. He’s a scholarship guy. He goes out there and tears the defense up. I’m excited how he handled the game and handled the pressure.” Mayfield will surely be a popular figure on campus once class resumes Tuesday. He also drew a lot of praise from the national media with the Texas Tech-SMU game being the most highprofile game on a small Friday slate. How will he handle the success when a one-game sample says he was one of a handful of standout players? Head coach Kliff Kingsbury believes Mayfield will handle it very well. The headman has a list of critiques that should keep the young player in check. “He was reckless with the ball,” Kingsbury said. “The ball touched the ground a bunch, he had some balls that could have been picked off, he stared things in, and footwork is a constant battle with the young kids. When they get in the game, it kind of reverts back to what they’ve always done, so the footwork that fits our system. “There is lots of room for improvement. But when big plays were there, he made them. That was exciting to see.” Center Jared Kaster said Mayfield wasn’t phased by the moment after going from a lightly recruited player to the starting quarterback against SMU without ever seeing the bench. The quarterback completed 43-of-60 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns as well as an 11-yard scramble into the end zone. His first collegiate drive ended with a 43-yard field goal from Ryan Bustin to lift the Red Raiders to an early 3-0 lead. “He breaks the ice, that’s for sure,” Kaster said. “The first drive, he’s out there looking at us and cracking jokes. Coming from a guy like that, a walk-on that has a lot to prove to this university and this football team, he’s done a heck of a job. He knows how to get us calm, and that’s surprising for a kid like that.” What kind of jokes? “He came through cracking jokes in the middle of the drive,” Kaster said. “Just cheesy little jokes that got a smile on our face and was like, ‘Alright let’s just keep going.’ Baker’s a good guy. He’s going to do really good here.” The presumed starting quarterback in the preseason, Michael Brewer, is still out with a back injury. Kingsbury said Mayfield will play against Stephen F. Austin in the home opener. “You will see him Saturday,” the head coach said. Date: 9-12-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Red Raiders win crazy, ugly Big 12 opener by outlasting TCU, 20-10 Kliff Kingsbury’s likely to have all sorts of crazy memories of his first Big 12 Conference opener as Texas Tech head coach. The fact he won will make all the bizarre twists and turns go down easier. Davis Webb flipped a tie-breaking 19-yard touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez with 3:48 left Thursday night, and Tech went on to beat TCU 20-10 in front of a national television audience and a Jones AT&T Stadium crowd left limp and hoarse, but happy. “It was pretty bizarre,” Kingsbury said, “but I thought our kids’ effort was incredible the

2013 Texas Tech Football entire time, their level of effort from start to finish. They played their hearts out and found a way to win an ugly game.” Webb’s touchdown pass came on third-and-13, capped a nine-play, 75-yard drive and broke a 10-10 tie. Webb came in cold with 6:13 left when fellow freshman Baker Mayfield came out of the game with an injured right leg at the start of the series. Webb had to throw the decisive pass to Marquez only because what appeared to be a 49-yard scoring pass moments before was nullified when the receiver, DeAndre Washington, dropped the ball just short of the goal line in jubilation. Washington caught a pass in the right flat and dashed down the home sideline, which opened up because of Marquez’s determinedly staying with a block on TCU cornerback Kevin White. Tech was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for celebration after the apparent TD. When the video-review booth determined Washington dropped the ball early, the Red Raiders had possession at the TCU 15 after the penalty mark-off. Then came a couple of run-play calls sandwiched around a holding penalty before Tech decided against playing safe for a go-ahead field goal. Webb lofted a fade-route pass to Marquez in the right corner of the end zone, and he pulled it in over White. Not bad for a true freshman who lost out in the battle to be starting quarterback. “That’s the way he’s approached it since we made our decision,” Kingsbury said. “He’s taken advantage of the reps, and he’s a good player. He’s a really good player, and I couldn’t be more proud of the way he stepped up and came out and won the game for us.” Ryan Bustin tacked on a 37-yard field goal with 2:48 left for the final margin. And the Red Raiders (3-0) got to celebrate on a night when their defense repeatedly rose up to make up for a slew of missed scoring opportunities. Tech held TCU (1-2) to 3 of 16 on third down and did a good job bottling up Horned Frogs quarterback Trevone Boykin for much of the game. “That’s the best defensive performance I’ve been part of since I’ve been a coach,” Kingsbury said. “We put them in bad spots all night offensively, and they kept stepping up, turning them over and getting stops against a talented offense with a big-time quarterback. I couldn’t be more proud of that side of the ball.” Mayfield finished 21 of 40 for 216 yards and a touchdown, but threw the first three interceptions of his career. On the decisive series, he went down and then came up favoring his right leg after being pressured in the pocket. “He said he’s OK,” Kingsbury said. “I think he twisted his ankle or knee or something. But he was walking around and was OK after the game.” TCU running back B.J. Catalon’s 17-yard touchdown run tied the score at 10 with 6:28 left in the game. But it was a bitter defeat for the Horned Frogs in a game of what-ifs. TCU punt-return man Brandon Carter had two big returns called back in the second half. Late in the third quarter, Carter took a would-be 51-yard runback inside the Tech 20, but most of it was wiped out by clipping. Early in the fourth quarter, an apparent 69-yard punt-return touchdown was nullified when officials ruled Carter made an invalid fair catch signal. As Carter ranged to his right to move under Taylor Symmank’s punt, he flicked his left arm in a slight pinwheel motion — just enough for officials to deem it a fair catch. “You had the questionable fair catch, which was a touchdown,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “I still have to see that, because nobody has seen it. But we don’t tackle the guy down the sideline. We stop him, we have a chance to go kick a field goal and win.” Undaunted, the Frogs moved nine plays and 69 yards before Catalon punched it in on a third-and-7 from the Tech 17. That tied the game for the first time with 6:28 left. It could have been moot by then had Tech cashed in any of several scoring chances. In the first half, the Red Raiders got no points on four series in TCU territory. On separate series, the Red Raiders had first downs at the TCU 29, 49, 36 and 29. All those chances went by the boards. Interceptions killed the first two drives, then backto-back holding penalties — one on a play in which Mayfield had dashed for a first down inside the TCU 10 — led to a punt. On the last chance in the first-half sequence, a third-down sack and a missed field goal left Tech unable to add to a 10-0 lead. Tech built that edge early. Running back Kenny Williams took a swing pass 50 yards down the home sideline for a touchdown on the sixth play of the game. It probably would have been a short gain, but for Marquez’s blocking, as he drove TCU safety Sam Carter into the Tech sideline. Bustin made it 10-0 with a field goal at the 3:16 mark of the first quarter.

Date: 9-17-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Williams: Washington learned his lesson without Kingsbury yelling DeAndre Washington was watching that night two weeks ago when Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan made highlights with a conspicuous gaffe. Trevathan, having intercepted a pass and drawn clear of all pursuit, started his touchdown celebration too early. He dropped the football just before he reached the end zone. In that moment, DeAndre Washington thought the same thing you and I thought. “I was like, ‘Man, how could he do that?’” the Texas Tech running back said. And then, just a week later, DeAndre Washington did the same thing. He was tearing down the sideline on what should have been a 49-yard touchdown catch-and-run when he dropped the ball a half-yard early. And you thought the same thing I did: Man, how could he do that? “It’s exciting,”Washington said. “I just got in the zone. That moment in time, it got the best of me.” Washington says he thought he’d reached the pylon at the goal line before he released the ball. Not that he’s using that as an alibi. “I just want to say it was a dumb mistake on my part,” he said. “I’m just glad we were able to come away with the result that we did.” When Trevathan pulled that stunt, Denver had a 42-17 lead on the Baltimore Ravens and went on to win 49-27. When Washington did it, Texas Tech was locked in a 10-10 tie with TCU with about four minutes left. Embarrassment might have been the least of his worries. It could have cost his team a game, a conference game at that. And then something happened you might not have expected: Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury gave Washington’s gaffe no-big-deal treatment. According to a sideline reporter, and the principals involved, Kingsbury said something along the lines of, “We’ve got to go score again.” I asked Kingsbury what the message was in the aftermath. “Just what I told him on the sideline: ‘Hey, man. It happens. Go make another play. Not a big deal,’” Kingsbury said. “There’s no reason to jump on him. He knows what he did. Learn from it. The penalty we got from that was about the least thing that could have happened.” That’s part of what saved Washington. The discarded football sat in the end zone, dead after an official signaled touchdown. Had it rolled through the end zone and out, the ruling would have been a touchback with the Horned Frogs taking possession. Tech was assessed a celebration penalty, not on Washington. The Red Raiders retreated to the TCU 15 and scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown three plays later. Two weeks ago, when Trevathan nonchalantly tossed aside what should have been a touchdown, Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio gave him a tongue lashing then and there. Presented with similar circumstances, Kingsbury chose restraint. In the heat of the moment, no spontaneous anger. With the game on the line, no berating the player. “It’s case by case and player by player,” Kingsbury said. “But knowing DeAndre and the type of competitor he is, he made a mistake and he knew it was going to be all over the country on every replay. I just think less is more at that point with the fact he knew he made a mistake. “Now let’s get him fired up and go score again.” He did, and they did. That Kingsbury didn’t flip out seems consistent with his personality. At least, Washington told me he wasn’t surprised by his coach’s reaction, or lack of one. “I think that’s what makes coach Kingsbury the way he is,” Washington said. “How we’re able to interact with him, the way he interacts with us, it’s not all about just yelling at us 24-7 to get his point across. I respect that about him. “I think that makes coach Kingsbury the guy he is. He’s real cool, real laid back. He never gets too worked up, never gets too stressed out, and that kind of carries over to the team. We try to keep calm and never let the adversity get the best of us.” The touchdown Washington missed out on would have been the fifth of his career, by the way. The Red Raiders are expecting he’ll visit the end zone many more times in the years to come. Better brush up on protocol for what to do with the ball. “I’ll just keep it with me,” he said. “Just take it the sideline with me. I might just take it home. I know I’m not going to drop it, though.”

Raiders rise up, squash KU run game A year after allowing 390 rushing yards to Kansas in a down-to-the-wire game, the Red Raiders gave up 53 on the ground Saturday in a 54-16 rout of the Jayhawks.

Red Raiders now bowl eligible with win over Iowa State Cyclones 42-35

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Texas Tech defensive players had two weeks worth of reminders about one forgettable statistic from last season. Well, so much for hearing that number anymore. A year after allowing 390 rushing yards to Kansas in a down-to-the-wire game, the Red Raiders gave up 53 on the ground Saturday in a 54-16 rout of the Jayhawks. “We heard 390 all week,” defensive tackle Kerry Hyder said, “and we made it a point to come in and stop the run.” They did. Kansas’ 53 rushing yards came on 37 attempts, and backup running back Darrian Miller had 15- and 26-yard gains after it was 54-10 in the fourth quarter. “All we kept hearing was 390 — how much they rushed against us last year,” strong safety J.J. Gaines said. “Cutting it down to, I think under 100, it’s a big jump. It shows you how much the defense has stepped it up since last year.” Kansas finished with 273 yards total offense, the second game in a row Tech has held its opponent under 300, and the Red Raiders came up with a season-high four turnovers. The Jayhawks had success early, driving for a field goal and a touchdown for a 10-0 firstquarter lead. After that, they had 15 series, 12 of which netted 10 yards or fewer. With a new quarterback, the Jayhawks didn’t seem nearly as committed to the run game — for sure, not the option — as they were in last year’s 41-34 Tech victory in double-overtime. “They definitely got us last year, but I don’t think (the Jayhawks’ approach Saturday) would have made a difference,” Hyder said. “We did a good job of re-establishing the line of scrimmage. As a front, I feel like we did a great job doing that. So I think either way the run game would have been hard for them today.” At quarterback this season, Kansas has gone with Brigham Young transfer Jake Heaps, a former Parade all-American and top national recruit. It was option quarterback Michael Cummings who helped confound Tech last year, handing and pitching to Tony Pierson for 202 yards and James Sims for 127. On Saturday, Pierson caught six passes for 118 yards, but carried only once. And Sims, who has 12 career 100-yard games, carried only nine times for 28 yards. “That was a great job,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “Last year, they got embarrassed. That defense got embarrassed. They had 390 yards, so that was a point of emphasis all week was, ‘Hey, that’s what they’re seeing on film. What are you going to do?’ They stepped up to the challenge.” Tech came into the game in the top 15 nationally in tackles for loss per game, averaging 7.8. Against KU, the Red Raiders made 10 stops in the backfield. Hyder led the way with 21/2, and defensive linemen Jackson Richards and Branden Jackson were credited with two each. KU’s 53 yards rushing was its fewest since an October 2011 game at Texas. Heaps finished with 189 yards on 16-for-32 passing. “After them rushing for 390, we kind of expected them to come in and try to run the ball on us, but they came out throwing,” Hyder said. “They caught us in some things early, but we buckled down and shut that stuff down, too.” Gaines helped give Tech a cushion. On the first play of the second half, he picked off a tipped pass and returned it 36 yards. Officials tacked on a penalty for a horse-collar tackle that took the football to the Kansas 4-yard line. DeAndre Washington scored on the next play, making it 27-10. The interception was some redemption. In the first quarter, Heaps threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jimmay Mundine against confused coverage. Free safety Tre Porter had come out on the previous play with an injury, pressing redshirt freshman Keenon Ward into the fray. The Jayhawks went right at the new safety for the touchdown, which had Ward and Gaines palms up, questioning each other. “It was just miscommunication between safeties,” Gaines said. “That’s just on us. We’ve got to get better each week and stop that from happening.” After that, there wasn’t much fault to be found with the defense. Linebacker Zach Winbush, Richards and defensive end Zach Barnes all recovered fumbles in the fourth quarter. “They just caught fire,” Kingsbury said of the defense. “They’ve been doing that all year, so I wasn’t really surprised.”

Texas Tech expected Kliff Kingsbury to take his team to bowl games – at some point. Who expected him to have the Red Raiders bowl eligible six games into his first season as head coach? No. 20 Tech overcame its own mistakes and a determined effort from Iowa State, beating the Cyclones 42-35 on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. The third-youngest coach in the FBS, with a team picked seventh in the Big 12 Conference, has Tech off to a 6-0 start for only the sixth time. No big deal to Tech’s king of cool. “Nothing, really,” Kingsbury said, when asked what being 6-0 means to him. “We just attack each week and try to get better.” But it is an accomplishment, especially for seniors not far removed from a 5-7 season in 2011. Even with Tech becoming bowl eligible for the 20th time in 21 seasons, they don’t take it for granted. “I always remember a couple of years ago we weren’t able to do that,” defensive tackle Kerry Hyder said, “so it feels good to have that in our back pocket. But we still want to keep stacking the chips and see what bowl we can get to.” Iowa State (1-4, 0-2 in the Big 12) closed within 35-28 with 10:40 left in the game, but Sadale Foster ran 38 yards for a touchdown with 5:30 to go, opening it back up for Tech (6-0, 3-0). Then the Red Raiders withstood a Cyclones touchdown with 1:54 left and an onside kick that went through an ISU player’s hands. Tech quarterback Davis Webb threw for 415 yards – most by a Big 12 quarterback this season going into Saturday – and three touchdowns. Webb was making his first career start, in place of injured fellow freshman Baker Mayfield, and completed 35 of 56. “Baker wasn’t ready to go,” Kingsbury said, “so Davis was the guy, and he played well. We have some throws out there that he’d like to have back and some things he could have hit, but I like the way he handled himself and stayed composed. When we needed a drive, he made them.” It was 21-21 at halftime after Tech was hurt by two big mistakes on special teams and two missed scoring chances. Tech took a 35-21 lead, though, on Webb’s 12-yard pass to Bradley Marquez at the 7:06 mark of the third quarter and a 12-yard run by DeAndre Washington with 12:06 in the fourth quarter. Tech’s running backs had their best game of the season with Washington rushing for 88 yards, Kenny Williams for 87 and Sadale Foster for 80. Webb’s first crucial mistake got Iowa State right back in it. Middle linebacker Jeremiah George picked off Webb’s throw over the middle, setting up the Cyclones at the Tech 19-yard line. Two plays later, Shontrelle Johnson scored from 3 yards out, pulling Iowa State within 35-28 with most of the fourth quarter remaining. Tech responded with a three-and-out, amping up the pressure, but on the Red Raiders went 80 yards in six plays the next time they had the ball. Foster broke free off the left side and outran Cyclones defenders to the goal line. The Red Raiders were able to hold on from there, though Sam B. Richardson’s touchdown pass to E.J. Bibbs made it a seven-point game again with 1:54 left. The Cyclones tried an onside kick, and ISU’s Deon Broomfield had first shot at it. But the ball went through his hands, Tech’s Tanner Jacobson recovered, and the Red Raiders ran out the clock. “We had an opportunity to get it,” ISU coach Paul Rhoads said. “The slippery thing got away from us.” It came down to needing to recover an onside kick, even though Tech had a 666-311 edge in total yards. “Anytime you lose a turnover battle 3-0 and pretty much get dominated on special teams and still win the game … you have a chance to have a pretty good team,” Kingsbury said. “That was exciting they found a way to win, but lots of areas to improve on.” Tech had outgained ISU 354-159 at halftime, but had a 21-21 tie thanks to a handful of game-changing plays, particularly on special teams. A 95-yard kickoff return by Iowa State’s Jarvis West evened it at 7 at the 6:17 mark of the first quarter, and a fluky play on a punt set up another Cyclones touchdown that tied it at 14. Early in the second quarter, an Iowa State punt hit Tech’s Keenon Ward as it came down, and the Cyclones recovered at the Tech 33. Five plays later, Aaron Wimberly scored from 4 yards out at 9:10 before halftime. Wimberly, coming off back-to-back 100-yard games, hurt his shoulder and didn’t play much in the second half. Tech regained the lead at 21-14 when a 1-yard run by Williams completed an 11-play, 86-yard drive, but Iowa State retaliated with its best offensive series of the half and a 3-yard touchdown by fullback Jeff Woody. The Cyclones moved it downfield with a 38-yard quarterback

Tech missed a chance to take a halftime lead after driving from its 32 to a third-and-6 at the Iowa State 24. Webb threw to Marquez on the right side, but cornerback Sam E. Richardson pulled the ball out as he slung Marquez around, and Cyclones defensive end Willie Scott recovered. “We understand it was 0-0 at that point, 21-21,” Hyder said. “Whoever wants it the most is going to win it in the second half. That’s all we were talking about at halftime.”

Date: 10-15-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams After tackling books, Stewart glad to be back Around this time last year, when all the other Texas Tech players were streaming into the football building, they’d pass Austin Stewart on the way out. When the Red Raiders were getting ready for 2 p.m. meetings and then practice, Stewart was just finishing a daily one-hour strength and conditioning workout. Then it was off to his most important task: staying eligible. “Tutoring, tutoring, tutoring, just making sure I got my grades up,” the Tech outside linebacker said. “If I wasn’t in class, I was in tutoring, I promise you.” Stewart’s academics were of such concern to Tech coach Tommy Tuberville that Stewart spent about a month in the middle of last season not practicing with the team. That’s why the celebrations Tech fans see him taking part in this season are twofold: joy over a big play and joy at regaining what he almost lost. “All the excitement you see me with, I’m just very glad to be here,” Stewart said, “because there’s a lot of kids don’t get this opportunity.” After playing in only four games last season, the 6-foot, 215-pound junior is making a significant impact in limited time this season. He’s a backup to Terrance Bullitt at Raider outside linebacker, leaving about a dozen to 20 plays per game to make a contribution. He’s been credited with 16 tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, three pass breakups and a fumble caused. Stewart made two major third-down stops in Tech’s 42-35 victory Saturday against Iowa State. On one, he looped under defensive end Branden Jackson on a stunt and sacked Cyclones quarterback Sam B. Richardson. On another, the Cyclones tried to isolate big-play wide receiver Quenton Bundrage on the left with a play that flowed right, but Stewart ranged back and toward the sideline and broke up a pass for Bundrage. “Austin is improving every week,” said co-defensive coordinator Mike Smith, Stewart’s position coach. “He’s one of our top guys on defense. Kid’s smart. He’s athletic. He’s big. Every week, you see he’s making plays and plays and plays. “I just love his attitude and his mentality. He loves the game. A kid like that, that strives every week to get better, is going to get better. So I couldn’t be happier with the way Austin’s playing.” Nearly all of Stewart’s snaps come as a nickel insert on passing downs. Inside linebacker Will Smith comes out, Bullitt replaces Smith inside, and Stewart plays the Raider outside linebacker spot. In the conference opener at Kansas, Stewart had a tackle for an 11-yard loss and a caused fumble. Stewart said he’s learned to go as hard as he can for his 15 or so plays and be happy with whatever role he has. It doesn’t hurt that Tech is undefeated and No. 21 in the nation in total defense. “I’m just very thankful,” Stewart said. “I could be home because of my grades. I’m just very thankful, and I’ve got a great team. I’ve got good guys that want to see us succeed. When you’re around guys who want to all do well, that’s a good vibe. That’s what makes us a great defense. We all love each other. We’ve all got camaraderie.” On a list of the Red Raiders’ most flamboyant personalities, Stewart would rank at or near the the top. He’s a mile-a-minute talker with dyed blonde hair that he styles into different shapes. “Some weird stuff comes out of his mouth,” Mike Smith said. “He’s a goofy personality, but I love the kid.” Stewart said his academic stumble last year is unlike him. Though he came to Tech from a California community college, he met NCAA freshman eligibility requirements coming out of high school in North Carolina. He initially signed with South Carolina State before asking to be released, hoping he’d later be able to take a junior-college route to Division I. “I was a 3-point-0 student,” he said. “I guess I fell a little bit from the branch when I got here. “You leave home, you come here, and you’re on your own. Nobody telling you to do your

homework, do this. You’ve just got to be a grown man. Grow up and take responsibility. That’s one thing that (last year) taught me, and I understand.” Stewart said he dreaded the four-week period during the 2012 season when getting his grades up was the first order of business — really, the only order of business — every day. Other than doing conditioning from 1 to 2 p.m. each day, classwork and tutoring consumed his time. “You want to be out there with your team, and you can’t do anything but just focus on school,” he said. “I just knew this was never going to happen again to me, because I really want to be out here and play for Tech. I love the Red Raiders. It’s a great school. I’m just happy that I made the change for the best.” Date: 10-19-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Red Raiders rally from 11-point deficit, move to 7-0 with 37-27 win over WVU Red Raiders maintain spotless record MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Kliff Kingsbury doesn’t care what anyone thinks about how his team got to be 7-0. To the Texas Tech coach, it matters only that his team is 7-0 — and what the Red Raiders did Saturday to maintain their spotless record. No. 16 Tech overcame an 11-point deficit with three touchdowns in the final 18 minutes and beat West Virginia 37-27 in front of a homecoming crowd at Milan Puskar Stadium. Kenny Williams capped two of the late drives with 1-yard touchdowns, and Davis Webb threw for 462 yards with two TD passes to Jace Amaro to help Tech start 7-0 for only the fourth time. None of Tech’s opponents went into the week with a record better than .500, though, meaning plenty of people will say the Raiders are doing it against nobodies. “That’s great. I hope they keep saying it,” Kingsbury said. “I saw (ESPN’s) GameDay. (Kirk) Herbstreit picked against us and a couple of others. That’s good. I hope they keep giving us locker room material.” Tech didn’t have to wait until now for motivation. The Red Raiders were picked seventh in the Big 12. With the victory, and Texas’ being idle Saturday, they’re alone in first for now. “Like I’ve said all along, they’re aware of where they were picked the beginning of the year,” Kingsbury said. “That doesn’t ever shy far from their minds. We’re still trying to prove to people that we’re not that bad.” Tech (7-0, 4-0 in the Big 12) led 13-0 early, then got punched in the chin as West Virginia (3-4, 1-3) scored on five straight possessions to take charge 27-16. But the Tech defense tightened up in the fourth quarter, and Webb went to work on the comeback. From the point Tech fell behind 27-16, Webb completed 16 of his last 23 passes for 208 yards, and the defense forced four punts and a turnover on downs. “I’m proud of the whole team,” linebacker Terrance Bullitt said, “because adversity hit and we responded well.” Amaro had a big catch on each of the three late scoring drives. Ones for 32 and 37 yards moved Tech deep into West Virginia territory before Williams’ touchdowns. Then he caught a 10yard touchdown with 1:01 left to put the game out of reach. When the final seconds ticked off, linebacker Pete Robertson grabbed a flag with the Tech double-T to wave around the field and the Red Raiders had a spirited celebration with their cluster of fans tucked into the southeast corner of the stadium. “We know nothing’s going to be easy in the Big 12,” cornerback Bruce Jones said, “but I love what we showed today, that our team can face adversity.” Now comes the hard part with three ranked opponents in the final five games. That gauntlet starts with a game Saturday at Oklahoma, and Kingsbury knows how difficult that can be. He was Tech’s senior quarterback in 2002, when the Red Raiders lost a big late-season game, 60-15, in Norman. Someone suggested the Red Raiders could win the Big 12 if they win at OU. “I hope so. I was part of one that didn’t work out so well,” Kingsbury said. “We lost 1127, and I know in 2008 the same situation (OU beating Tech 65-21). But that’s not how we’re approaching this. It’s still so early, a lot of things are going to shake out.” West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett finished with 254 yards and a touchdown on 27-for-43 passing, and running backs Dreamius Smith and Charles Sims gave Tech fits. Smith carried 16 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns, and Sims — a transfer who once played for Kingsbury at Houston — rushed for 77 yards and caught seven passes for 32 more, including a touchdown. Each team scored on its first two possessions in a back-and-forth second half, though it was West Virginia that seized momentum after a 13-13 tie at halftime. The Mountaineers went up 27-16, sandwiching a Trickett touchdown pass to Sims and a 12-yard touchdown run by Smith around a Ryan Bustin field goal for Tech.

2013 Texas Tech Football The West Virginia touchdowns capped drives of 74 and 72 yards. Three plays before the first of those touchdowns, Tech safety Austin Stewart intercepted a pass Trickett floated over the middle. But cornerback Olaoluwa Falemi was flagged for interference on the intended receiver, wiping out the turnover. Tech responded to the 27-16 deficit with an impressive 80-yard march that Williams finished by shoving in from the 1. The key play on the drive was a third-down, 32-yard catch by Amaro that took the Red Raiders to the WVU 11. Before that, WVU had outscored Tech 27-3. The Mountaineers made up the 13-0 gap in the last 12 minutes of the first half with the help of two fumbles. A drive that included a pass interference penalty on Falemi on third-and-6 ended with a Josh Lambert field goal that made it 13-3. However, Tech had a shot to make it 20-3 when Webb spotted an open lane up the middle from the West Virginia 13. He dashed to the 1, where he pinballed off two tacklers and lost the ball. Linebacker Isaiah Bruce recovered, and the Mountaineers took off on a 99-yard drive. A 40-yard pass to Kevin White on third-and-14 got West Virginia to midfield, and Smith went 38 yards off the right side, pulling the Mountaineers within 13-10. Stewart fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and Lambert cashed that into a short field goal just before time ran out in the half. The fumble by Webb proved to be a turning point. “I was mad,” Kingsbury said. “That one I was mad, because we talk about sliding all the time. He’s not the most nimble guy to try and jump in the end zone. He said, ‘I’ve got ya, coach. I’ll make up for it.” Before the fumble, the Red Raiders had scored three possessions in a row, though they were stung by settling for field goals. A 10-yard pass from Webb to Amaro gave Tech a 7-0 lead, and then Bustin kicked field goals from 21 and 36 yards. The Red Raiders settled for the first field goal after having first-and-goal from the 4 and took the second after failing to convert third-and-1 from the 15. Much like last week, when Tech beat Iowa State 42-35, the Red Raiders had dominant stretches in the first half and went in tied. Which could have had Kingsbury pulling his hair out. “Yeah, I was internally,” he said, “but you can’t show that. I thought we had a chance to go up 20-3 and then all of a sudden it just flipped. We just said, ‘It’s 0-0, same situation as last week. Go win this half.’ And our guys responded.” Date: 10-21-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Tough Road: The toughest part of Texas Tech’s football schedule starts now Kingsbury now has a top-10 team with room to grow The toughest part of Texas Tech’s football schedule starts now: four Big 12 Conference title contenders, three of them ranked, in the last five games of the season. That’s OK with Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, because he now has a top-10 team that he believes has plenty of room to grow, even after a 7-0 start. “I told our team, ‘We haven’t come close to playing our best game,’” Kingsbury said Saturday after Tech posted a 37-27 road victory at West Virginia. “So hopefully we can put one of those together before the year is out and see what we can do.” With several ranked teams getting knocked off on Saturday, Tech debuted at No. 10 in the first BCS standings of the season released Sunday and took a jump in the major polls. The Red Raiders moved to No. 10 in The Associated Press Top 25 and to No. 9 in the USA Today coaches poll — up six spots in both from a week ago. The lofty perch will be tested when conference leader Tech (7-0, 4-0 in the Big 12) visits No. 17 Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The Sooners are a 7-point favorite. “We feel like we owe them,” said Tech running back Kenny Williams, who scored two touchdowns Saturday. “They came to our house last year, took it from us and we want to do the same.” Tech’s perfect record nearly ended on the Red Raiders’ first visit to West Virginia. In a backand-forth game, Tech led 13-0 early, let WVU mount a 27-3 salvo, then rallied with the last 21 points of the game. The most surprising element might have been Tech’s defense, solid through six games, giving up three touchdowns and two field goals in a five-series stretch in the second and third quarters. “They needed to see some adversity,” Kingsbury said. “This is the first time a team has moved the ball that well against them. But when we had to have stops, they got them, so that was a big step.”

In a drastic turnaround, Tech limited West Virginia to one first down in its last five possessions, immediately after the stretch in which the Mountaineers scored on five series in a row. The Red Raiders forced four quick punts — three after three-and-outs — and a turnover on downs as time ran out. Afterward, they were commending themselves for their composure. “If things hit the fan again, we know how to respond,” cornerback Bruce Jones said. Tech’s last five games are against teams who are a collective 23-8. The Red Raiders’ 7-0 start has been built against six teams that now have losing records and Texas State, which is 4-3. One of the keys to the fast start has been the play of true freshmen quarterbacks Baker Mayfield, who started the first five games, and Davis Webb, who’s started the last two. Between them, they have 2,915 passing yards — split almost equally — and 19 touchdowns. The injury Mayfield suffered two weeks ago gave Webb a chance to take over and, even though Mayfield was in full uniform Saturday, Webb has made the most of the opportunity. He topped 400 yards passing for the second game in a row, his one glaring mistake a lost fumble at the WVU 1-yard line. In 106 pass attempts the last two weeks, he’s had one intercepted. “The more reps he gets, it seems the better he gets and the more confidence he gets,” Kingsbury said. “He’s gotten a ton of reps with the injury situation. He just gets better and better. I’m just really proud of him overcoming (not winning the job at) the beginning of the year and not getting down. That’s what you’re supposed to do as an athlete.” Date: 10-23-13 Publication: ESPN Author: Jake Trotter Kingsbury mends Tech’s fences LUBBOCK, Texas -- The first few days on the job as head coach, Kliff Kingsbury sat in his empty office looking out on to Texas Tech’s practice fields. The 33-year-old knew he should be doing something. He wanted to be doing something. But what? “Literally the first two days I got here, I sat in this chair and was like, ‘I don’t know what to do,’” Kingsbury said. “’I don’t know the next move.’” It was a rare pause for Kingsbury, who is known for moving fast, both in the offense that he runs and his career trajectory. In coaching since just 2008, he’s already helped groom the NCAA’s all-time passing leader (Case Keenum) and a Heisman Trophy winner (Johnny Manziel) as an assistant to Kevin Sumlin at Houston and Texas A&M. But Kingsbury quickly figured out his next step. He set out to build a homegrown coaching staff and restore pride to his alma mater. And at 34, the second-youngest coach in college football has been making all the right moves ever since. Despite rotating a pair of true freshman quarterbacks, Kingsbury has led a team picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 to its first top-10 ranking in five years. “He’s breathed life back into this team,” said senior nose guard Kerry Hyder. “Just revitalized everything.” Since Kingsbury took over, the waiting list to purchase suites at Jones AT&T Stadium has ballooned. Donations to the athletic department have skyrocketed. Student ticket sales have reached record levels. Texas Tech regent chairman Mickey Long said he couldn’t even get through to the ticket office this week to buy basketball passes because of the all the busy signals from fans clamoring for football tickets. “This is such an exciting time at Texas Tech, I promise you,” Long said. This weekend, the 7-0 Red Raiders will play in their biggest game in almost five years as they travel to Oklahoma for a Big 12 showdown that could hold major conference title implications. “As important as all of that is, there’s a new pride in the Texas Tech family about where we are,” said athletic director Kirby Hocutt. “And where we’re going.” Kingsbury has been on the job less than a year. But already he’s energized the program. Reunited the fan base. And brought his brand of swagger back to Texas Tech football. ••• The rumors were everywhere. And finally, they reached all the way back to Hocutt. His football coach, apparently, wanted out. Hocutt didn’t know it at the time, but Tommy Tuberville had even cleaned out his locker at Lubbock Country Club. “I kept hearing these rumors of people speculating, ‘Was Tommy Tuberville happy at Texas

102

2013 Texas Tech Football Tech?’” said Hocutt, who arrived at Texas Tech in 2011. “’Was this the place he wanted to be?’” For the second consecutive year, Texas Tech had cratered in November after an undefeated September. Days after the Red Raiders had fallen to Baylor to end the regular season, Hocutt went to Tuberville. “I wanted to get confirmation that he had both boots on the ground,” Hocutt said. Tuberville gave Hocutt his commitment to Texas Tech. Meanwhile, he was finalizing his exit strategy. That Saturday during his son’s soccer tournament, Hocutt got an unexpected phone call. Tuberville told him he was heading to Cincinnati. Hocutt wasn’t the only one blindsided. Tuberville’s own coaching staff was, too. Shortly after phoning Hocutt, Tuberville called a staff meeting. “We didn’t think anything of it,” said Sonny Cumbie, a former Texas Tech quarterback and graduate assistant under Mike Leach who had been retained as Tuberville’s inside receivers coach. “We had recruits in that weekend, so I figured we’d be talking about recruits and the practice plan for the afternoon.” Instead, Tuberville dropped the bombshell. “We were kinda sitting there like, ‘What the heck just happened?’ Cumbie recalled. “We were shocked.” Hocutt saw it as a short-term setback, but a long-term blessing. “There was tremendous concern [about] where we were headed as a football program,” Hocutt said. “So there was no doubt in my mind this was best for Texas Tech and a great opportunity for us to reunite our fan base and bring everybody back on the same page.” The same weekend, Kingsbury, as Texas A&M’s offensive coordinator, was in New York City for Johnny Manziel’s Heisman coronation. The Tuberville news traveled quickly, and Kingsbury’s friends from Lubbock told him to keep his phone on, in case Hocutt called. Kingsbury wasn’t sure he would. But on Sunday, Dec. 9, Kingsbury sat alone watching pro football at Bounce Sporting Club in Manhattan. His phone buzzed with a Lubbock area code. Kingsbury took the phone and dashed outside. Hocutt was on the other end of the line. “I was so blown away, because I was content with Johnny and where we’d been and what we were going to do there,” Kingsbury said. “It was just like, ‘Wow.’” Hocutt would be wowed, too. In a couple of days, the Red Raiders quickly narrowed their search to Kingsbury and Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris, who had ties to Texas from his days coaching high school in the state. Two days later, Hocutt met with Kingsbury at an airport lounge in Houston. “You could just tell right away, he’s got the swagger and the confidence that you knew this guy is something special,” Hocutt said. “It was just fortunate that the opportunity for him and the opportunity for Texas Tech were in alignment with one another. I felt pretty strongly after that visit this could very well be the next head football coach at Texas Tech.” It was a low-risk proposition for Hocutt: Hire a young, energetic coach who had just shepherded a redshirt freshman to a Heisman Trophy. Kingsbury’s high-speed offense and sense of style had already made him a cult star as an offensive coordinator. And worse for ailing Tech fans: Their beloved former star quarterback was doing it all with the dreaded Aggies’ logo on his chest. Fans overwhelmingly wanted him back in Lubbock. By Wednesday, word leaked that Texas Tech had settled on Kingsbury. Hundreds of students and alums gathered at the school’s Memorial Circle to celebrate. Days later, the Oakley store in Lubbock’s South Plains Mall sold out of the black Frogskin sunglasses that are Kingsbury’s trademark on the sidelines. “I’ve never experienced that kind of excitement among a fan base,” Hocutt said. “He immediately healed any wounds that existed.” ••• Kingsbury grew up in New Braunfels, Texas, about 45 miles south of Austin. He was already at Texas Tech when Leach took over for Spike Dykes in 2000. Almost overnight, with his “Air Raid” offense, Leach elevated Texas Tech to another level. He helped elevate Kingsbury to another level as a player, too. That first season under Leach, Kingsbury broke numerous school passing records. As a senior in ‘02, Kingsbury quarterbacked the Red Raiders to just their third nine-win season in 26 years. Because of Kingsbury’s intelligence and leadership, then-Tech assistant Dana Holgorsen always thought Kingsbury would make a tremendous coach. Just as long as the NFL didn’t get in the way. The New England Patriots selected Kingsbury in the sixth round of the draft. But after an uneventful four years bouncing around pro football, Kingsbury pondered coaching. The son of a high school coach, he had an opportunity to watch Bill Belichick when he spent a year with the New England Patriots. He played for a year for Packers coach Mike McCarthy when he was offensive coordinator in New Orleans. Holgorsen, who had moved on to offensive coordinator at Houston under Sumlin, offered

him that first job as a quality-control coach. “I saw his leadership ability on the practice field,” Holgorsen said. “Knowing his background, knowing what his intelligence level was, which I thought was very high on the field and off the field, being personable, knowing how he interacts with the guys and all that.” That same year, in 2008, Texas Tech reached its summit under Leach. During Houston’s open week, Kingsbury traveled to Lubbock to watch the Red Raiders knock off top-ranked Texas on Michael Crabtree’s game-winning touchdown grab. But the following season, the divide between Leach and the Texas Tech administration came to a head. And before the bowl game, Leach was fired. “Certainly there were some folks upset with the Mike Leach departure,” said Tim Culp, a Texas Tech alum and booster, who works in the oil and gas business 120 miles south of Lubbock in Midland, Texas. “And Tuberville, we knew from the get-go it would be a steppingstone job for him.” Over the next three years, the players could feel the divide among the fan base. “You could sense something was missing,” Cumbie said. “Our players sense that energy, whether it’s negative or positive.” The day Kingsbury was hired, that changed. “Now it’s completely different,” Cumbie said. “Everyone is fired up at Texas Tech. They’re supporting our players, and our players are feeding off that positive energy. “There’s no doubt Kliff healed it. And that’s been a huge thing.” ••• Sitting in the same office chair Leach used, Kingsbury might have felt overwhelmed those first couple of days. But once Cumbie gave him film of the 2013 recruiting class to review, Kingsbury quickly found his groove, back watching football. One player that had begun to waver after Tuberville had left was Prosper, Texas, 4-star quarterback Davis Webb. “He was teetering, thinking about visiting TCU that weekend on an official visit,” Cumbie said. “One phone call with Kliff, he was like, ‘I’m done. I’m a Red Raider.’” When he wasn’t watching recruiting film, Kingsbury was focused on putting together his coaching staff. “He was adamant he wanted to hire one of -- if not the -- youngest coaching staffs in the country,” Hocutt said. “It was about relating to the players and recruiting and be able to connect to this generation of young person.” Kingsbury didn’t just want young coaches. He wanted ambitious coaches. Better yet, ambitious coaches with ties to Texas Tech. “It’s easy to sell a product you believe in and you lived and loved,” Kingsbury said. “And I knew the five that played here at Texas Tech were essentials.” With Cumbie already on board, Kingsbury next snagged Eric Morris, who was coaching inside receivers for Leach at Washington State. On the other side of the ball, Kingsbury brought in three more college teammates: Mike Smith (co-defensive coordinator/linebackers), Trey Haverty (safeties) and Kevin Curtis (cornerbacks). “This was the only [college] job I would have taken,” said Smith, who was coaching linebackers for the New York Jets. “Tech means so much to me. I think that translates to the players. They see how much this place means to us.” When the rest of the staff was eventually filled out, their average age was still just 35 -- something that’s already paying off on the recruiting trail. The Red Raiders are on the verge of putting together their best recruiting class in years. Kingsbury’s contract also grants him “creative license” over uniform design. The Red Raiders have already rolled out several new uniform variations this season, which is popular with players. “This staff really understands this generation of young people as well as any in the country,” Hocutt said. It didn’t take long for the Red Raiders to notice this staff was different, as well. Before the players left campus in May, Kingsbury left them with this memo, cautioning against a summer spent playing video games. “We advise you to be active over the break as you will need to be ready to work once June rolls around. Sitting at the house playing COD/2K13/Madden against 12 year olds online doesn’t suffice as activity even if you claim to ‘wreck shop.’ #BOOM #ComeAtMe #WreckEm” “This year, we’re worried about winning football games and having fun,” said outside linebacker Terrance Bullitt. “Last year it wasn’t too much fun for us and the team, and it reflected. The coaches were worried about whether we wearing hats in the building or earrings in the building. Can’t wear hats at the training table. Stuff that had nothing to do with football. “This year, we’re having so much fun, and it starts with our head coach.” They’re also winning games.

2013 Texas Tech Football Kingsbury said his personality couldn’t be more different from Leach’s. But from Leach, Kingsbury said learned the significance of instilling confidence in his players. “He never thought we were going to ever lose,” Kingsbury said. “I’d never been around anything like it.” Gradually, the Red Raiders have taken on the personality of this head coach. When DeAndre Washington dropped the ball before crossing the goal line against TCU, Kingsbury didn’t lose his cool. The play nearly cost Texas Tech the game. But instead of ripping into Washington, Kingsbury went over and gave him a few words of encouragement. “DeAndre gives 150 percent to this program each and every day, does everything right off the field,” Kingsbury said. “What good does it do to yell and scream? That’s not my coaching style. The only time I’ll really lose it is for disciplinary issues or academic issues.” How Kingsbury handled Washington didn’t go unnoticed. When asked about their coach, the incident is one of the first things several players brought up. “Being a player, you’re already gonna feel down on yourself,” said Washington’s backfield mate, Kenny Williams. “When a head coach does that instead of chewing you out, you gain so much respect for him. And it gives you that drive to give everything you have for him on the field.” So when the Red Raiders fell behind 11 points on the road at West Virginia last weekend, they didn’t panic, either. “You take on the identity of your head coach,” Cumbie said. “And there’s a confidence and looseness about them.” The players call it swagger. Hocutt does, too. “It’s been so refreshing to be able to work along a head football coach and group of assistants who bleed Texas Tech,” Hocutt said. “Committed to winning championships.” The Red Raiders could take a big step toward winning their first-ever Big 12 championship this weekend. Today, Kingsbury sports his “Suns Up, Guns Up” painting on what once was a blank wall in his office. The 8-foot-by-5-foot portrait of the Masked Rider storming the field commemorates Texas Tech’s 2008 win over Texas -- the last time the Red Raiders were this close to winning any championship. Kingsbury calls it the pinnacle moment of Texas Tech football. But the direction he has the Red Raiders headed, the pinnacle may be yet to come.

That sequence alone ensured Mays’ career wouldn’t end quietly. He’d played a key role in a big road win. “It was kind of bittersweet,” senior safety Tre Porter said, “becuase Ola Falemi wasn’t really playing as well as he usually plays. But to see D. Mays being ready to come in and play, it’s a great sign. I’m proud of D. Mays. His last year. He’s been working so hard. I’m really proud of him to have his opportunity and take advantage of it.” Mays started twice as a freshman, including Tech’s bowl victory against Northwestern, and made five more starts as a sophomore in 2011. But in November of that season, explaining lineup changes at cornerback, Tuberville said then-sophomores Jarvis Phillips and Mays had lost their confidence. Tuberville added that when that happens to a cornerback in the Big 12, it’s “not a pretty sight.” Mays politely disagrees. “I mean, you have your ups and downs, especially playing at corner, but I never lost confidence,” he said. “I just feel like they lost confidence in me, at the end of the day. ... If you put me in, I was going to do my best, and that’s all I can really do.” Mays added, “I never really bashed myself to where I lost confidence. I’ve always felt I’ve been the same person, and nothing really changed me. That’s what he said, but I thought differently.” What Mays did lose was trust in his legs. He had a hamstring injury midway through the 2011 season and a bad knee that dogged him throughout last year. He played in 11 games in 2012, but not as much as Cornelius Douglas, Eugene Neboh and Jones. “I think I tore my meniscus last year in (preseason) camp and played through it,” Mays said. “After a long period of time, coming into the spring, it got to the point where it wouldn’t react with me. I couldn’t do anything. I felt sharp pains. “Went in there and they found out I had a lateral meniscus tear and also had a bone defect. It wasn’t a big bone defect, but I had lost a lot of cartilage.” Having it fixed might explain why Mays looked more decisive breaking on the ball and making plays Saturday than he had since early in his career. “It’s starting to feel better,” he said. “I’m glad I’ve got it to where I can cut and make moves and make plays.” The difference between Falemi and Mays on Saturday was sufficiently stark that head coach Kliff Kingsbury and Wallerstedt said the starting job for Saturday’s game at Oklahoma would be determined by how they performed in practice this week. Mays said he’ll give the same effort and be content however the chips fall. “It’s my last year, and I’m proud to be here and be in this situation where we’re 7-0,” he said. “If I don’t play, I’m just glad to see these young people do what they do. I’m just glad we’re in this position and hope we keep pushing and reach our limits of what we want.”

Don’t forget Derrick: Senior cornerback returns from rough patch When Texas Tech cornerback Olaoluwa Falemi was flagged for pass-interference penalties in each of the first three quarters last week, defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt felt compelled to make a change. But change to whom? Of Tech’s two second-team cornerbacks, Jeremy Reynolds hadn’t played meaningful minutes since suffering a season-ending knee injury last September and Derrick Mays seemed like the forgotten man. A starter for 10 games in his first three seasons, Mays had been on a downward trajectory since former coach Tommy Tuberville branded him late in the 2011 season as a corner who’d lost his confidence. Then he spent all of the last school year bothered by a painful left knee that needed surgery. But Mays looked anything but unsure of himself in the Red Raiders’ 37-27 victory at West Virginia, breaking hard on the ball to make five tackles — all of them important — in a tense last 11/2 quarters. “I knew what was going on, and my knee feels better,” said Mays, who had arthroscopic surgery this spring. “Other than that, just watching the hips and making plays; that’s what you have to do. My body felt good. My knee’s healthy. I got an opportunity and took advantage of it.” As long as outcomes were in doubt this season, Wallerstedt had kept starting cornerbacks Bruce Jones and Falemi in the game. But when Falemi committed pass interference three times in five series, Wallerstedt turned to Mays, and the senior from Killeen Shoemaker followed the Red Raiders’“next man up” mantra admirably. Mays stopped running back Charles Sims for 1 yard on a first down. He fought through a blocker and wrecked a wide-receiver screen for no gain. He made two stops on a three-andout, including tackling the quarterback for 2 yards on third-and-8. And on West Virginia’s last possession, he stopped Sims for a 2-yard loss on third-and-2. “Huge. Huge,” Wallerstedt said. “Derrick Mays was huge for us.”

Date: 10-24-13 Publication: The Dallas Morning News Author: Kevin Sherrington Sherrington: Meet Texas Tech’s Kliff Kingsbury…the coolest coach in college football If the current trend in Lubbock holds and Texas Tech beats Oklahoma on Saturday, I have seen the future of college football, and it’s wearing Frogskin sunglasses and a three-day stubble. Pirates are out. Old is lame. Coach Cool rules. Kliff Kingsbury, the third-youngest head coach in all of FBS at 34, is 7-0, the best start of any rookie coach in Tech history. Makes for a nice trivia question. What’s not so trivial is that the Raiders are 10th in the first BCS rankings, which is probably not what Tommy Tuberville projected when he left a table full of recruits at Lubbock’s Fifty Yard Line last December and lit out for Cincinnati. Tuberville had reasons for not hanging around to pick up the check. He couldn’t win the back half of his schedules, and he couldn’t win over the Mike Leach fans. We are about to find out how Kingsbury handles what will be his most difficult stretch. As for capturing the hearts of the Pirate’s crew, the Black Pearl is in dry dock. How has Kingsbury come so far, so fast? Probably helps when it’s your alma mater and you don’t make jokes about the weather or view with visiting sportswriters. Being a former Leach quarterback was a plus. And despite the fact that he’d been an assistant only five years, his pupils included Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel. Coaches can go entire careers without coming as close to a Heisman-worthy quarterback, much less two. Kingsbury’s résumé could have fit in his wallet, but it was impressive enough to make for a nice honeymoon in Lubbock, which I figured he’d need. Frankly, he had no idea what he was getting into, either.

104

2013 Texas Tech Football But he had a plan, just the same. If it works, it might revolutionize the industry. A coaching culture primer: Any young head coach in his first gig could be counted on to hire at least one old hand. Someone who could keep him from doing something he shouldn’t. Sort of like a new bench coach for Ron Washington. Kingsbury not only didn’t want to hire any old guys to balance out his staff, he told his new boss, Kirby Hocutt, he wanted the youngest in the nation. Average age of his hires: 35, including five who played at Tech. He thought the latter was important, too, considering Tuberville’s obvious disconnect. Kingsbury’s rationale on the youth movement is reasonable enough. Because players these days relate better to a younger mind-set, and the material you’re working with never gets any older than 23, assistants probably ought to be as close in age as possible. What it’s meant in practical terms at Tech this season is that, instead of Kingsbury’s staff policing the training table and fieldhouse for players wearing earrings or caps, as Tuberville’s staff did, fashion police no longer prowl the football offices. “If they think they’re looking smart,” Kingsbury said of his players, “we’re good with that. “As long as they’re wearing a Tech hat.” If you wonder why this sort of thing should make any difference in a football record, you must not have had any teenagers lately. Kingsbury has priorities for his players. Class and football, primarily. But he doesn’t muddy the relationship on issues they simply can’t relate to. Not as long as they respect what he says is important. “They know we’ll be the coolest staff we can have,” he said, “if they’ll allow us to be.” Tech players thought it was pretty cool in the win over TCU, when, with the score tied at 10 with four minutes left in the game, DeAndre Washington celebrated an apparent touchdown by dropping the ball before he crossed the goal line, and the head coach didn’t spontaneously combust on the sideline. Kingsbury didn’t roast Washington because it’s not his style, for one thing, and because he knew the gaffe would be a YouTube sensation. That alone was punishment. He’s also not so old that he doesn’t remember how it felt to make a mistake. He doesn’t want his players to be so afraid of failure they can’t be loose, can’t reach their potential, can’t have fun. Art Briles was sensitive to players when he was an assistant at Tech, Kingsbury said, which might explain some of his success at Baylor. Same goes for Kevin Sumlin. Mike Leach? “No,” Kingsbury said. “He couldn’t be any further from that. He had his own unique way of doing things.” Kingsbury’s way is different, too. But a similar case study is under way in Toledo, where Matt Campbell, three months younger than Kingsbury, heads a staff with an average age of 35. His first year as head coach, he went 9-3. The Rockets are 4-3 this year, with two of the losses against Florida and Missouri. What this means for college football’s future is still unclear. The FBS’s youngest coach, Western Michigan’s P.J. Fleck, is 0-8 this year. But it’s working so far at Tech, which has the coolest coach in ball. The three-day stubble says it all. “Just too lazy to shave,” Kingsbury said. “I’m not trying to make any statements.” Maybe not. But as best I can tell from shots of Cincinnati’s sideline, Tommy Tuberville is dyeing his hair.

Date: 10-26-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Slew of missed chances come back to haunt Red Raiders in 38-30 loss to Oklahoma NORMAN, Okla. — In a high-scoring, back-and-forth game, it’s easy to find any number of second-half happenings that lead to the outcome. But Texas Tech’s more likely to kick itself for all the chances it failed to cash in Saturday in the first half. In a 38-30 loss to No. 17 Oklahoma, the Red Raiders were in Sooners territory on six possessions in the first half and scored points on just one. “It wasn’t good,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “I don’t know the reason. It just wasn’t good. They had a good plan defensively early. Showed us some different looks. They did a good job coaching their players.” Tech had a 14-7 deficit after a half that offered so much more. On separate series, the Red Raiders had first downs at the Oklahoma 39- , 26- , 40- , 48- and 38-yard lines. From those opportunities, they punted twice, committed two turnovers and had a turnover on downs. The latter came late in the half. On third-and-4 at the OU 32, Jakeem Grant went low to

cradle a Davis Webb pass and came up a yard short of the marker. “I thought that was important in the beginning of the game,” Sooners defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “We were struggling to get some rhythm offensively, and our defense didn’t give them anything. You could tell we were on point early on in the game and saw things very well.” Anything, even a flurry of field goals, could have made a difference in the outcome. “There were a lot of opportunities that we didn’t execute on,” Tech wide receiver Eric Ward said. “It was a lack of execution on our part.” On Tech’s second series, Oklahoma bailed the Red Raiders out of a third-and-26 with an unnecessary roughness penalty at the end of a play. After the automatic first down, Webb and flanker Bradley Marquez seemed to have a miscommunication on a deep ball that led to an easy interception for cornerback Aaron Colvin. Four plays later, cornerback Bruce Jones recovered a fumble at the OU 26, but Tech couldn’t budge and punted. The turning point in that series came on second-and-10 when Grant was called for offensive pass interference trying to ward off safety Gabe Lynn in the end zone. A Kenny Williams touchdown gave Tech a 7-0 lead, but then missed chances kicked in again. Tight end Jace Amaro hurdled a defender on a 21-yard catch-and-run that took Tech to the Sooners’ 38, but the Raiders wound up punting. Late in the half, Amaro made a key third-down catch — and had the yardage necessary for the first down — when Sooners defenders stood him up and safety Quentin Hayes pulled the ball out of his grasp. Colvin recovered at the OU 24. “I’ve never fumbled in my life,” Amaro said. “I fumbled the first time ever in the biggest game I’ve ever played. And that was a 14-point swing, because they scored on that (76)-yard bomb on the next play. … I was just trying to get extra yards, but it ended up hurting us more.” Webb finished 33 of 53 for 385 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. In his third career start, the freshman spread the ball around. Ward had nine catches for 106 yards and both TDs, Amaro eight catches for 119 yards and Grant eight for 99. And with Tech trailing 35-24 early in the fourth quarter, Webb steered the Raiders 76 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown that made it a one-score game. He completed 6 of 8 on that drive, including a 24-yard pass to Grant on fourth-and-2 and a 14-yarder to Amaro on thirdand-5. “He’s got a great mental approach,” Kingsbury said. “We haven’t pulled anything out of the playbook. He’s got the whole thing in, and he’s running with it. I just think early on in these games he’s got to settle in a little bit quicker and go to the right place with the ball, but I’m proud of the way he fought the whole game.”

Date: 10-30-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Krista Pirtle Quarterbacks turned coaches Kingsbury, Gundy lead alma maters Saturday Gundy owns the Big Eight passing record; Kingsbury threw for more than 12,000 yards There are only two current Big 12 head coaches that quarterbacked the school they now coach — Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy and Texas Tech’s Kliff Kingsbury. Gundy remains the Cowboys’ all-time leading passer, racking up 7,997 passing yards as th`e quarterback from 1986-89, completing his career as the Big Eight’s all-time leader in passing and total offense. Kingsbury recorded more than 12,000 passing yards and total offense, and more than 1,000 pass completions, making him the third player in NCAA history to accomplish all three. Gundy is in his ninth year as head coach of his alma mater. Kingsbury is in his first. “He’s done very well this year as a first-year head coach,” Gundy said. “He’s young and has a lot of enthusiasm. I’m sure he has love for his university so it seems to be a great hire by Tech. I know the little bit I’ve been able to watch them on television, it looks like he’s enjoying being a head coach. Obviously, that’s the most important part of what we do, in my opinion.” Both coaches have their teams in contention to win the Big 12 title. Gundy’s Cowboys were the preseason pick to win the conference and are still in contention despite a 30-21 loss on the road to West Virginia. In years past, Oklahoma State’s 6-1 record might be attributed to its high-flying offense. This year, however, is a different story. In 2012, the Cowboys finished No. 82 in the nation in total defense, giving up 421.69 yards on average. So far this season, Oklahoma State is No. 26, allowing only 353.9 yards per game. The Cowboys are getting off the field with 19 takeaways, which is tied for 13th in the nation, and a third-down defense that ranks 10th, allowing a 30.6 percent conversion rate.

2013 Texas Tech Football “I hope our defense will continue to play well,” Gundy said. “I think it’s evident that this is the best offensive football team that we have played up to this point. They have had a considerable amount of success moving the football and scoring points. It will be a good challenge for our players. There’s no question about that.” The defense scored twice last week in the Cowboys’ 58-27 win over Iowa State — senior cornerback Justin Gilbert returned an interception 31 yards for a touchdown and senior defensive end Tyler Johnson returned a fumble 54 yards for a touchdown. Gilbert leads the Big 12 and is No. 6 nationally in interceptions with four. “To score once on defense is awesome, but to score twice is unusual,” defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. “I’m not sure I’ve ever been involved in a game where our defense scored twice.” The Cowboys secondary will have its hands full trying to contain the No. 3 passing offense in the nation. Thus far, the toughest passing offense Oklahoma State defended came in the first game of the season against Mississippi State, which ranks at No. 51. OSU won that one, 21-3. “Obviously, (Tech) has great skill players and a quarterback who can get the ball to them quickly,” Spencer said. “That can be scary. When that and the timing are there, it’s hard to stop.” Spencer also said the Cowboys must make the Tech offense one-dimensional by taking away the run game. Oklahoma State leads the conference in rushing defense and is No. 19 in the country, allowing 122.7 yards per game on the ground. The Cowboys know that to win this game, they must keep the Red Raiders offense off the field. “(We can’t) let them get any momentum running or passing the ball,” Gilbert said. “Getting off the field; getting some three-and-outs early in the game to get our offense the ball.” Offensively, the Cowboys had a huge showing from junior running back Desmond Roland in Ames, Iowa. In his first career start, Roland rolled up 219 rush yards and four touchdowns. “I was just running behind my blockers,” Roland said. “Our receivers were doing well blocking downfield, and ... our O-line was making great holes and they made it easy for me. I was just running.” Oklahoma State hasn’t had much consistency in the offensive line. In six of seven games, the Cowboys have used a different mix of offensive linemen with only senior left guard Brandon Webb and junior center Jake Jenkins starting every game. “They make changes on the O-line every day,” Roland said. “This combination worked for the last game, so I guess we’ll move forward with it for the next combination. If they continue to block like this, we might as well keep it the same.” As the ground game improves, Oklahoma State hopes for more efficiency passing the ball. OSU is down 65 passing yards per game compared to last year, when the Cowboys ranked fifth in the nation in passing offense. “We need to throw the football better, period,” Gundy said. “If you look at the opponent we’re playing this week, they’re scoring and they’ve been effective in throwing the football. ... At some point, you have to match them where their strength is. “They have certainly had the ability to score points, but, defensively, they have been effective also. We need to become a better passing team to give ourselves a better chance to win this weekend.” Returning first-team All-Big 12 wide receiver Josh Stewart, with 34 receptions for 483 yards and two touchdowns, is well off his pace of 2012, when he finished with 101 catches, 1,210 yards and seven TDs. Stewart has somewhat made up for it on special teams with punt-return touchdowns of 67 yards against Lamar and 95 yards against TCU. The latter was the longest punt return in Oklahoma State and Big 12 history and longest by any player in the country this season. The Cowboys are trying to be the first team to take three straight from Tech in Lubbock since Nebraska in 1994, 1996 and 2000. The Red Raiders’ last win over the Cowboys came at home in 2008 — the week after Tech upset then No. 1 Texas 39-33. “We’ve always played them in the daytime, but you watch games at night there and know how crazy it gets in Lubbock,” senior wide receiver Charlie Moore said. “There’s a night and day difference, literally. I saw where Kingsbury tweeted (Sunday) to all the fans that costumes are encouraged and a ‘Let’s get weird’ hashtag, so it’s going to be a fun time in Lubbock and I’m excited.”

Date: 11-2-13 Publication: Dallas Morning News Author: Chuck Carlton Oklahoma State’s early surge leaves Texas Tech chasing – again – and unable to rally in 52-34 loss LUBBOCK — For all the passes and all the energy at Jones AT&T Stadium, Texas Tech could only chase Oklahoma State. And chase. Then chase some more, all the way to a 52-34 loss. The Cowboys remain a personal kryptonite for the Red Raiders. They’ve beaten Tech five straight times and scored 177 points in the last three games. Oklahoma State became the first team to win three consecutive games in Lubbock since Nebraska’s powerhouse teams in 1994, 1996 and 2000. Tech hasn’t led Oklahoma State at any point since 2009. After seven consecutive victories to begin the Kliff Kingsbury era, Tech (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) has dropped consecutive games to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State as it moves into the most difficult part of its schedule. “We’re about good enough to win every game, and we’re about good enough to lose every game,” Kingsbury said. “We have to play better than that when we’re facing the top-tier teams.” Preseason Big 12 favorite Oklahoma State, which became an afterthought after a loss at West Virginia, improved to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the Big 12 with games against Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma remaining. In other words, the Cowboys are alive and well and in charge of their own destiny. “We’re not good enough to look past the next team,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, “but we’re improving.” The offense, which sputtered early in the season, rushed for 281 yards. Senior quarterback Clint Chelf, who had been completing just 39 percent of his passes since replacing J.W. Walsh in a win over TCU on Oct. 19, threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more. The clinching moment came early in the third quarter. Facing third-and-9, Chelf took two steps backward after getting the shotgun snap and then sprinted forward. Texas Tech linebacker Pete Robertson missed on an attempt at a diving tackle. Nothing remained between Chelf and the end zone, a 67-yard run that gave Oklahoma State a 42-24 lead. “That was a heady play call,” Kingsbury said. The Cowboys had plenty of help. They took advantage of a blocked punt and a Tech fumble to build a 21-0 first-quarter lead. In their last three wins in Lubbock, Oklahoma State has outscored Tech 63-3 in the first quarter. Texas Tech got a career-high 15 catches from All-American tight end candidate Jace Amaro for 174 yards and a TD. Freshman quarterback Davis Webb launched 71 passes, completing 45 for 425 yards — the third time this season he’s passed for more than 400 yards. At times he looked uncertain, especially on a red-zone interception by Shaun Lewis, much like he did at Oklahoma. “It’s part of a growing process,” Kingsbury said. “We had a lot of opportunities to score, and as an offense we didn’t get it done.” Texas Tech briefly showed life, cutting the Oklahoma State lead to 28-24 at halftime on a 21-yard interception return by Robertson and a Kenny Williams 2-yard run. “We felt we had a lot of momentum going to halftime,” Amaro said. Tech couldn’t capitalize, going three-and-out on its first two possessions of the third quarter followed by Lewis’ interception. Oklahoma State got a 46-yard punt return by Josh Stewart (Denton Guyer) to set up its first TD before Chelf’s run. “Then we were chasing,” Kingsbury said. Kingsbury had encouraged a post-Halloween bash from Tech fans and students, even using the hash tag “letsgetweird” and offering cash prizes to contest winners. A record crowd of 61,836 responded. One young woman obliged with a full wedding gown and a “Kingsbury, will you marry me?” sign. For all the atmosphere, Oklahoma State did what has become routine for it in Lubbock.

2013 Texas Tech Football Date: 11-5-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Unsung seniors: Knighton makes most of chance by pursuing three degrees EDITOR’S NOTE: TEXAS TECH PLANS TO RECOGNIZE 18 SENIORS BEFORE THE RED RAIDERS’ LAST HOME GAME SATURDAY AGAINST KANSAS STATE. THIS WEEK, WE PROFILE A FEW OF THE TEAM’S SENIORS WHO CAPTURED LESS OF THE SPOTLIGHT. Retention rate wasn’t the strong suit of Texas Tech’s 2009 recruiting class. Of the 24 high school prospects who signed with the Red Raiders that February, 15 departed before their eligibility ran out. Not Chris Knighton. As a career backup, mostly at defensive end, Knighton never played much, but he never left. “I never considered giving it up,” said Knighton, a 6-foot-1, 250-pound senior from Longview, “but of course I was discouraged. You come here to play. First of all, you come here to get a degree, and that’s what I did. I’m actually working on my third degree right now.” Indeed, even if Knighton made little splash on the field, he’ll help the graduation rate. He might even wind up with more college degrees than tackles. Knighton said he got a bachelor’s degree in general business last December and keeps busy now on a double major in marketing and management, which he expects to complete in December. After college, he wants to be an entrepreneur and own his own business. On the field, Knighton has spent much of his career on the fringe of the depth chart, never quite earning a regular spot in the rotation. He’s moved from the defensive line to fullback and back to the defensive line. This week, as a matter of fact, he shifted from end to the bandit outside linebacker-defensive end spot. He has gotten into all nine games this season and recorded his first two tackles. “I want to play. Everybody wants to play,” said Knighton, who was a first-team all-state honoree in high school on a team that went 13-3. “But I have to accept my role, whatever role it might be on the team, and I have and I did that well. I teach the young guys and coach the young guys. It’s more than about just playing football. There’s a lot of other factors, and I just try to play my part and help the young guys.” Of the nine 2009 signees who stuck it out, running back Eric Stephens, tackle LaAdrian Waddle and safety D.J. Johnson went through in four years and were seniors last year. Of the small group remaining, linebacker Terrance Bullitt, defensive lineman Kerry Hyder and receiver Eric Ward are most prominent. On Saturday, when Knighton comes down the Jones AT&T Stadium tunnel for the last time, he expects to feel the same mix of emotions as some of his more high-profile teammates. “It’ll be a humbling experience, sweet and bitter at the same time,” he said. “Sweet in knowing I accomplished a lot in my time here, and bitter knowing who I accomplished it with and I probably won’t be seeing half those guys again. Just leaving my brothers, going out on my own into the world. “Overall, it’s been a great experience.”

Date: 11-5-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Adjusting the target: Out of Mackey mix, Tech’s Amaro could make case for Biletnikoff Award Just because Jace Amaro’s not in the running to win the John Mackey Award doesn’t mean the Texas Tech junior is shut out of the conversation for a major national football position prize. Next week, members of the Biletnikoff Award national selection committee start marking their ballots to determine the 10 semifinalists for the nation’s top receiver, and there’s nothing to disqualify Amaro from consideration. He was added to the watch list in mid-September, and his 79 receptions for 1,035 yards both rank top-10 in the nation. “Our award is for the best receiver in college sports, so it would cover anyone that caught a forward pass,” said Ritchie Pickron, chairman of the Tallahassee (Fla.) Quarterback Club Foundation that founded and sponsors the Biletnikoff. “So that would include tight ends, running backs, anybody that catches a pass.” The Red Raiders use the 6-foot-5, 260-pound Amaro a little bit as a conventional tight end in a three-point stance and a lot as a standup inside receiver. The relatively small percentage of time he spends at the former contributed to his not being considered for the John Mackey Award,

which goes to the nation’s top tight end. No tight end — or Amaro-sized inside receiver — has ever won the Biletnikoff, but Pickron said it would be fine if Amaro did. “Absolutely,” he said. “We’d be tickled pink if we ended up having somebody that was not a wide receiver, but was a tight end or somebody like that, that would win the award. It’s not something I believe any of our writers have a prejudice against.” The Biletnikoff Award was established in 1994. No tight end has ever made the list of three finalists, but Amaro could make a compelling case to be among the 10 semifinalists. He ranks sixth in the FBS in catches per game (8.8) and ninth in receiving yards per game (115.0). The numbers aren’t skewed by a few outsized performances against weak competition. In the last eight games, Amaro has caught eight passes twice, nine passes five times and hit career highs of 15 catches for 174 yards last week against Oklahoma State, which came in ranked No. 7 in pass-efficiency defense. “Coach (Kliff) Kingsbury’s done a great job of getting me the ball in space and allowing me to play as well as I can,” Amaro said. “And yeah, I feel like I’ve played well enough this season to be a candidate and be a top candidate for that award.” Tech fans were incensed when the Mackey Award midseason watch list, released Oct. 15, did not have Amaro on it. CBSSports.com senior columnist Dennis Dodd, a member of the Biletnikoff Award national selection committee, said Amaro faces a “hard, but not impossible” task to win the Biletnikoff. “I think he could get to the semifinalist or finalist (list),” Dodd said. “I think the great injustice is that he won’t even be considered for the (Mackey) award to be the best player at his position. That’s idiotic.” Even as awareness of Amaro has grown week to week among opponents, no one’s devised a defensive plan to stop him. His eight-game streak of at least eight catches and 86 yards is moving him into Michael Crabtree territory. The former Tech star had a nine-game streak of at least eight catches in 2007, the first of two seasons in which he won the Biletnikoff. Tech co-offensive coordinator Eric Morris played in the same receiving corps with Crabtree and now is Amaro’s position coach. “The beauty of it is we can put him in so many different positions,” Morris said. “We can put his hand in the ground, and they have to respect the run and the pass. I think it’s a little bit harder for what we do to scheme against a tight end, because we can move him to so many multiple positions, and we spread the ball around to multiple receivers. “Every week, you see more and more (defensive tactics). Even on film, you see (defenders) pointing him out, where he’s at, and adjusting the defense to him. But just his sheer size, he overpowers guys. That’s what gives him the ability to catch the ball in traffic and with people on him and draped on his back.” None of Tech’s last four Big 12 opponents — Iowa State, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State — has held Amaro under 115 receiving yards. Maybe some have wanted to throw up their hands in disbelief. “One of the Iowa State safeties told me I was playing like Jimmy Graham, in the middle of the game,” Amaro said, referring to the New Orleans Saints’ 6-7, 265-pound tight end who has 10 touchdowns this season. “That was kind of one of those things where you don’t really know how to respond back. “I guess it’s a compliment, because he’s a great player, too, and I guess he recognized that I was playing well that game.” The Biletnikoff Award national selection committee consists of nearly 200 sports media, past winners and eight other “eminent receivers,” most of them former NFL standouts. The 10 semifinalists will be announced Nov. 18, two days after the Red Raiders play their next-to-last regular-season game against Baylor. After another week of voting, the three finalists will be revealed Nov. 25. “I don’t know what all the rules and stipulations are for the Mackey Award versus the Biletnikoff,” Morris said, “but he’s definitely made a name for himself, and he’s definitely deserving of being talked about for one of those awards, if not both.”

Date: 11-07-13 Publisher: USA Today Sports Author: Paul Myerberg/Steve Berkowitz Kliff Kingsbury’s contract gives him full control of uniforms Kliff Kingsbury’s quick-twitch impact on Texas Tech, his alma mater, is immediately recognizable in the Red Raiders’ newfound offensive ingenuity, not to mention the team’s rather unexpected rise into the nation’s top 25. As a whole, the team has seemingly embraced the Kingsbury spirit – a little bit unorthodox, a little bit cocky, very much successful.

107

2013 Texas Tech Football And as part of Kingsbury’s contract with Texas Tech, officially completed in February, the Red Raiders will soon inherit the first-year coach’s fashion sense. DATABASE: Tracking coaches’ salaries across the FBS Written into the contract is an agreement allowing Kingsbury “creative license” in the design of the football team’s uniforms, which are supplied by the clothing and apparel company Under Armour. If Kingsbury and Texas Tech’s athletic director – currently Kirby Hocutt – agree on the uniform design, Kingsbury then has “sole discretion” on choosing when his team dons specific uniform combinations. “I wanted to have a big hand in all those decisions,” Kingsbury told USA TODAY Sports. “It was important to me to have full control when it comes to that area.” To that end, Kingsbury’s contract includes a unique fundraising role. If his choice of equipment and uniforms “exceeds the football program’s budget,” his contract reads, Kingsbury “may seek donations for such purpose” – essentially allowing him to serve as a fundraiser in this one area. QUIRKS: What quirks can you find in a FBS coach’s contract? This distinctive uniform clause – not just creative license but also the ability to reach out and fundraise – separates Kingsbury from his peers on the FBS level. “Me having played here and been an alumni here, there’s obviously a lot of connections,” Kingsbury said. “And so I felt like if it wasn’t budgeted, or we went over budget with some of these looks – (if) some of these things got a little pricey – then I want to be able to go to outside sources that we’re connected with and be able to handle that.” For this season, Kingsbury estimates his team will eventually wear seven or eight different combinations during the 12-game regular season. This month, the Red Raiders will wear unique uniforms for Saturday’s game against Kansas State and a Nov. 28 date with Texas. By next season, “we’ll really be able to unveil some fun, different, different styles think I think our players will really like,” Kingsbury said. SALARY EXPLOSION: Coaching total compensation up 90% since 2006 “I had kind of a vision of what I think this place can be,” he said, “and a lot of it has to do with being able to change up our looks and be enticing to potential student-athletes through doing different things with Under Armour to try to differentiate ourselves as far as styles, as far as uniforms go as far as the workout gear goes.” As at Oregon, which first popularized the uniform craze, Texas Tech hopes to utilize a deep stable of uniform options as a recruiting tool. Beyond that idea – as vital as it may be – Kingsbury envisions this creative license helping to define the football program as a whole. “At all the schools I’ve been at, you hear the players talking about it: ‘Hey, did you see soand-so’s uniforms this week?’ So you just want to have as big a hand in creating that excitement for your own program as possible.”

Date: 11-9-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Krista Pirtle Tech defense struggles again in stopping the run On Monday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he expected Kansas State to run the football until his Texas Tech defense could stop it. That’s just what the Wildcats did, racking up 291 yards on the ground in their 49-26 win over the Red Raiders. “We knew what they were going to do,” Kingsbury said. “They just did a great job of executing. They had a good plan and good athletes. It wasn’t a surprise what they were going to do, and they just outplayed us.” On Kansas State’s second play, senior running back John Hubert ran the ball 63 yards for a touchdown, the longest run of the season for the Wildcats. Hubert finished with 157 rushing yards, just shy of breaking his career record of 166 set in 2011 against Miami. Sophomore quarterback Daniel Sams finished with 81 yards on the ground while starting quarterback Jake Waters had 38. Each Wildcat quarterback rushed for a pair of touchdowns. In the first half, Kansas State had six offensive possessions and scored on all but one, taking a knee on first-and-10 with one second remaining in the half. “Yeah, it was a definite disappointment,” senior defensive lineman Kerry Hyder said. “We had a lot of missed assignments, guys not doing their jobs and trying to do other people’s jobs, and it definitely showed in the first half.” The K-State offense seemed unstoppable before the break as the Wildcats rushed 28 times for 218 yards and completing a perfect 6-of-6 passing.

However, during halftime, Hyder reminded his teammates of the two words each of them wore on their backs — “Never quit.” “Well, pretty much just said what was on the back of our jersey,” Hyder said. “I felt like we showed no quit in us. We came back out and fought very hard to the last whistle. I commend my guys for that and fighting ‘til the very end.” The Tech defense improved in the third quarter, forcing Kansas State to punt on its first two possessions. Kansas State recorded only 18 yards of total offense before its final possession of the third quarter in which the Wildcats racked up 45 yards. “I think our defensive staff did a good job at halftime figuring out what we needed to do and got them off the field,” Kingsbury said. “But at that point, we’re in a big hole. And sometimes it’s a little too late. As a team, we haven’t started the last two weeks, and that’s on me as a coach. I have to get them ready to play.” After allowing 114 rushing yards in the first quarter and 104 yards in the second quarter, the Tech defense allowed only 48 yards in the third and 25 in the fourth. Moving on, the Red Raiders travel to face Baylor and Texas to finish out the season, both teams with the ability like Tech’s last three opponents to run the football effectively. “We’ve got to evaluate personnel, evaluate scheme and try to finish this season out on the right foot,” Kingsbury said. “We’re playing another great rushing team next week. We’ve got to come up with some answers.”

Date: 11-9-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Raiders back in limbo at quarterback after Mayfield replaces Webb Texas Tech’s game-day souvenir program Saturday had Graham Harrell on the front cover with a feature story inside on the school’s all-time leading passer. Oh, what Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury wouldn’t give right now for a quarterback with 38 career starts and all the experience that comes with it. Tech’s current quarterback situation, which seemed settled early with Baker Mayfield’s good start and settled at midseason with Davis Webb’s development, is back to being unsettled. In the second quarter Saturday, Kingsbury went back to Mayfield for the first time in five weeks and got mixed results in a 49-26 home loss to Kansas State. “Not great,” Kingsbury said of the two freshmen. “But they’re young guys, and we needed to score a bunch, obviously, to keep up. We got behind and we once again got off of our plan and didn’t execute the way we should have. I just thought we needed a little spark. Baker got in there, moved around and did some good things, but we’ll have to watch the film and really evaluate it.” Kingsbury’s been decisive in naming one or the other the starter several times since midseason. This time, he deferred going forward until he can see the tape and talk with the offensive staff. Webb started the day steering the offense 69 yards in 14 plays to a field goal, then 75 yards in 15 plays before a touchdown pass to Eric Ward. On the first series, Webb completed six of his first seven passes and then, with Tech having second-and-goal from the 6, twice threw incomplete for Eric Ward. After the TD pass to Ward, Tech went three-and-out on the next two series, ending the second with Webb badly overthrowing Bradley Marquez. That was his last pass of the day. Mayfield entered for the first time since Oct. 5. The freshman from Lake Travis left the Kansas game that day with a knee injury, though he was cleared to play again not long after. “I just thought we may need a spark, with protection as well,” Kingsbury said. “I think Baker moved around a little bit better and did some things. So it was just a feel decision.” Mayfield played the last eight series, showing the traits that made him good enough to start the first five games and second choice for the last few weeks. He completed 34 of 44 passes for 276 yards. He also lost a fumble at his own 32-yard line and threw an interception with Kansas State turning both into touchdowns. He ran for 50 yards, but also took four sacks that stripped 29 yards off that total. Webb took one sack and safely threw away some passes when he couldn’t find an open receiver. Mayfield’s fumble was his fifth this season, though the Red Raiders had recovered the first four. Kingsbury was asked if the ball-security issues were a reason he’d been reluctant to play Mayfield the last few weeks. “No, Davis was playing well,” Kingsbury said. “He won a couple of big games. Like I said, the whole situation with true freshmen, it’s a learning experience for all of them. We have two that can play, so if one’s not playing great, we’re not afraid to put the other one in.” Webb, in his four series, went 13 of 20 for 78 yards.

2013 Texas Tech Football Fifth-year senior Eric Ward caught 11 passes for 107 yards. It’s the fifth time in the last six games he’s had at least seven receptions and the third time in the last six he’s been over 100 yards. During the up and down quarterback play this season, Ward has stood behind both freshmen. “I’m sure they’ll get better at it as time goes on, learning from our mistakes and moving on,” Ward said. “But I only have two regular-season games left as a Red Raider, and I hope we can fix that before I play my final game as a Red Raider. “I just think we’ve got to go out there and execute. We can’t turn the ball over. That’s the main thing that kills us as a team is turning the ball over. We need every possession we have to put points on the board.” Date: 11-12-13 Publication: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Safety Net: Tre Porter knows the twists and turns a college football player’s career can take Being a senior, Tre Porter knows the twists and turns a college football player’s career can take. His last season — and the past month, in particular — just reinforced it. The Texas Tech free safety has 32 career starts under his belt, but the strong safety next to him has been a revolving door of young players. He’s trying to show the ropes to a redshirt freshman and two true freshmen. “It’s kind of different,” Porter said this week. “I’m just trying to be a leader and try to teach them all the knowledge I can of what I know about the game, what I know about Division I football and what I know about the defense. I’m trying to be ... not a role model, but like a mentor to my teammates and help them on their road through college.” The trio of freshmen seemingly have a good player from which to learn. Porter is Tech’s second-leading tackler, and defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt has singled him out more than once this season for playing at a high level. Tech enjoyed a steady safeties pairing of Porter and sophomore J.J. Gaines for the first half of the season. Then Gaines suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, and in the last four games the Red Raiders have started true freshman walk-on Tanner Jacobson, junior Austin Stewart and redshirt freshman Keenon Ward at the other safety spot. Wallerstedt decided Stewart, after one start at safety, was better at his original spot and moved him back to outside linebacker. So the last couple of weeks, the safeties two-deep has consisted of Porter with Ward, Jacobson and Justis Nelson, another true freshman whose redshirt was removed in game nine. Between series, Porter relays to his young charges what he’s seen and what they need to be on the alert for. “Keenan, Tanner and Justis, they’re pretty much smart guys, so they already know,” Porter said. “I’m just trying to give them pointers and stuff like that.” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury doesn’t allow freshmen to do interviews, so Porter’s fellow safeties are unavailable to the media. It’s an altogether different situation than a year ago. In 2012, Porter was the first-team nickel back, and Tech had four seniors starting at cornerback and safety. Four-year starter Cody Davis and three-year starter D.J. Johnson were the safeties, so it was a different form of communication. Porter has three games left, starting with Saturday’s 6 p.m. game against No. 5 Baylor in Arlington. Pretty soon, Porter will be out the door and the young safeties will be missing the experience next door. Porter expects them to do well on their own. Porter says Ward has it all — speed, hitting ability and football sense. He compares Jacobson, the former Southlake Carroll star, to Davis, the St. Louis Ram who was Tech’s first- or second-leading tackler the last four years. “He reminds me of Cody Davis so much,” Porter said. “He’s a smart guy, has potential.” Nelson, the 6-foot-2, 170-pound Dallas Christian graduate, made his career debut Nov. 2 in Tech’s 52-34 loss to Oklahoma State. Tech coaches are still deciding whether Nelson will play cornerback, where he trained for much of this fall, or safety, where he was moved to fill an immediate need. “He’s done both, and he’s going to continue to do both,” safeties coach Trey Haverty said. “He’s a guy that has a future in the secondary. We’ve just got to figure out where.” Porter said he thinks his successors will be “doing major things here.” Meanwhile, they’ve helped him learn how to be adaptable. “It’s been interesting,” Porter said. “We’ve had some good times and some bad times. ... It’s just preparing me for adversity — not within football, but through life, being able to adjust to every situation.”

Date: 11-15-13 Publisher: Waco Tribune Herald Author: Brice Cherry Tech’s Ward keeps mind on son Even when fatigue has settled over him like a blanket or a cornerback has jammed him at the line of scrimmage for the eleventy-billionth time, Eric Ward can’t bring himself to take a lazy step. It’s not just that the Texas Tech receiver doesn’t want to let his teammates or head coach Kliff Kingsbury down. There’s that, sure. But Ward forces himself to push through because he knows Jayric is watching. Jayric is Ward’s 3-year-old son. Jayric loves cheering for the Red Raiders, especially No. 18. Moreover, without even knowing it, the boy inspires Ward to be a better player, a better man. “Being a father is an incredible thing,” Ward said. “It makes you want to work hard in everything you do, so that your child doesn’t experience any of the hardships you had to go through. You just want them to grow up to be a positive person.” Ward didn’t have that strong paternal influence in his own life growing up. Instead, he found himself wanting to pattern his life after his older brother, Devon. “Everything he did, that’s what I wanted to do,” Ward said. When Eric was in grade school, his family moved from his native California to Wichita Falls, which is about two hours northwest of Fort Worth. Clever and quick-witted, he made friends easily. When he was 14 he wanted to start dating his best friend, Kinzie. Doing so required a few late-night study sessions, but it was worth it to Ward. “My mom told me that I couldn’t date her unless I got good grades,” he said. “I studied pretty hard in school that year.” Yes, Eric and Kinzie are still together nine years later, married and happily raising Jayric. It’s not often that one meets their soulmate in junior high, but Ward is convinced he did. “We were friends first — really good friends,” he said. “To find friendship like that at such a young age is pretty special. She’s just always been someone I can trust.” In high school at Wichita Falls Rider, Ward developed into one of the nation’s blue-chip receiving prospects. Ward said he was awakened to the reality that he could land a college scholarship after a junior season in which he tallied 1,063 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. He initially committed to Bob Stoop’s Oklahoma team, but later backed out and switched his pledge to Texas Tech. His reasoning was rooted in practicality. “I just looked at Tech’s offense, and thought I could catch a lot more passes there,” he said. That was the plan. But sometimes it takes time for the plan to reach fruition. In Ward’s redshirt freshman season in 2010, he made only six catches. Playing time was sparse, and at the end of the season Ward found his confidence shot, in part because he dropped some of the limited balls that had come his direction. So he set out to rehabilitate both his hands and his spirit. He spent hours each day parked in front of a JUGS machine, corralling high-velocity pigskin spatter until his fingers were numb. Such work bore fruit. The following year, Ward made 84 catches, then he erupted for 82 more for 1,053 yards and 12 TDs last season. If Ward can make another 22 catches in Tech’s final three games, including a bowl game, he’d surpass Wes Welker (259 receptions) for No. 2 all-time in school history. (Former Gatesville star Taurean Henderson owns the school record with 302 career receptions). Of course, earlier this year some Red Raider fans wondered if Ward would even be around this season to chase such records. Ward wrestled with the idea of declaring for the NFL, where he was projected as a third to fifth-round pick. He had already graduated from Tech, needing just 31/2 years to pick up his degree in interdisciplinary studies. In the end, he opted to stay in Lubbock one more season. “It was a very tough decision, and I stressed about it for a while,” he said. “But ultimately I came back to school to catch footballs and get a master’s degree. And I’m doing both. The NFL will still be there, and even if it doesn’t work out, God has a plan for everybody.” This season Ward has been as steady as a Lubbock breeze for the 7-3 Red Raiders. He ranks second on the team behind tight end Jace Amaro with 65 catches for 734 yards and seven touchdowns, and has surpassed the 100-yard mark in four games. He remains hopeful that NFL scouts like what they see. He’s even got his sales pitch ready for when the scouts and GMs come calling. “I’ll tell them, ‘I’m going to show up for work — and that’s a promise, son,’ ” Ward said. Son? Oh well, you can’t blame him too much. The son never sets in Ward’s world.

2013 Texas Tech Football Date: 11-17-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Given the slip: Baylor Bears sneak past Red Raiders by dodging tackles Will Smith reflects on missed tackles in Saturday’s game Will Smith got in on 16 tackles Saturday night, most by a Texas Tech football player in eight years. The stops Smith made in a 63-34 loss to Baylor, however, were overshadowed by the ones he and his teammates missed. Baylor still ran up 675 yards of total offense, 340 of it on the ground. So the 13 solo tackles and three assists didn’t mean much to Smith. “It’s nice to have that (distinction),” the Tech inside linebacker said, “but it doesn’t really matter since we lost anyway. I have to finish on the tackles that I missed. That’s a big thing that’s been happening a lot with the defense, and I have to capitalize on those opportunities.” So do a lot of other Red Raiders. Tech players and coaches have recognized their defensive issues, but haven’t been able to turn the tide. Saturday marked the sixth game in a row Tech has allowed more rushing yards than it did in the game before. Some of that has to do with the competition increasing. Some of it has to do with multiple injuries. But missed tackles also are a reason. “We’re getting there, getting to the ball,” Smith said. “It’s physical. We’re just not running our feet, tackling them all the way to the ground. We are thinking this one-hit wonder (approach) is going to bring a guy down. But against this type of competition, you have to tackle a guy all the way to the ground.” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury was asked if tackling has fallen by the wayside for spreadoffense teams that don’t do a lot of hard hitting in practice. That’s a common charge leveled against a lot of teams who spread it out and throw the ball. “I’m not sure,” Kingsbury said. “It’s case by case, team by team, who you’re playing with and things of that nature, because I see a bunch of spread teams that tackle really well. I didn’t think it had anything to do with our practicing, but I think when guys are there, you’ve got to make plays.” The loss to Baylor was Tech’s fourth in a row after a 7-0 start. The Red Raiders have an open date this week before finishing the regular season on Thanksgiving night against Texas in Austin. The Red Raiders, who started fast with 14-0 and 20-7 leads in the first quarter Saturday, faded in the second half. The Bears rushed for 86 yards in the first half and 254 yards in the second half. “They made a moderate adjustment,” Smith said, “but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. Guys get tired. Sometimes we get lazy with our hands, our feet, proper hand placement. We have to come out with the same energy as in the first half and finish games off.” The Bears were without three of of their top skill-position players but still got right at their season averages, which are now 61.2 points and 684.8 yards per game. Tech allowed two 100-yard rushers — Shock Linwood (187) and Devin Chafin (100) — and two 100-yard receivers — Levi Norwood (156) and Antwan Goodley (101). “Too many guys are worrying about being supermen on the field,” linebacker Sam Eguavoen said. “We’ve all just got to worry about our job and do what we’re supposed to do.”

Date: 11-18-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Amaro named semifinalist for two major awards Tech TE first since 2008 to make both Mackey, Biletnikoff short lists Texas Tech junior Jace Amaro on Monday was named one of eight semifinalists for the Mackey Award and one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award. The Mackey Award goes to the nation’s top tight end. The Biletnikoff goes to the top receiver. Since its inception in 1994, the Biletnikoff Award has always been won by a wide receiver, but any player who catches a pass is eligible. Amaro is the first player to be a semifinalist for both since Missouri’s Paul Coffman in 2008. “It’s a great accomplishment,” Amaro said. “It’s something I had as a goal this upcoming season. That’s a great thing. It’s great for our school. “I would trade those things for Ws, for wins. If anything, I’d rather be undefeated than be on the list for both of those. That’s the point of view I have on the accolades.” Amaro has 92 receptions for 1,157 yards and six touchdowns. He ranks seventh in the FBS

in catches per game at 8.4 and 12th in the FBS in receiving yards per game at 105.2. The season opener against SMU and last week’s loss to Baylor were the only games in which Amaro did not catch at least eight passes. Tech fans were incensed in mid-October when Amaro was not included on the Mackey Award’s midseason watch list, because he lines up more often as an inside receiver in Tech’s offense than a traditional tight end in a three-point stance. Tech has lobbied Mackey Award officials on Amaro’s behalf in the past month, advocating for his consideration. “It wasn’t too surprising to me,” Amaro said. “The coaches over here and the staff and the media staff over here said they had a plan for it and to ‘Keep playing the way you’ve been playing. Don’t worry about things you can’t control. It’ll work out in the end.’ “I kept playing, and it ended up happening. That was kind of the goal that they had for me and, again, they did a great job doing that.” The finalists for both awards are scheduled to be announced next Monday. No tight end has ever been among the three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, so Amaro has a chance to be a trailblazer in that regard. “It’s a great opportunity,” he said. “That was a little more shocking to me. It’s going to be a little bit tougher to win that one than maybe the tight end award. “I have one game left, one game to show everything I can do. I still haven’t played the best I feel like I can play -- a complete game, blocking, catching the ball, doing all those things. I plan on doing that, the last game we have here, and it’ll work out in the end the way the Mackey Award thing did.” Tech has semifinalists for three major awards. Ryan Bustin is among the 20 remaining candidates for the Lou Groza Award for the nation’s top kicker. The junior from Kilgore leads the FBS in field goals made (21), field goals attempted (24) and field goals per game (1.9). Date: 11-28-13 Publisher: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Author: Don Williams Red Raiders end first regular season under Kingsbury with whimper in loss to Longhorns Longhorns beat Red Raiders 41-16 AUSTIN — Maybe Texas Tech can win a bowl game to salvage Kliff Kingsbury’s first season as head coach. As of now, it’s a year that ended with a whimper. Tech dropped its regular-season finale 41-16 to Texas on Thursday night as a national television audience and a less-than-full house at Royal-Memorial Stadium looked on. Texas (83, 7-1 in the Big 12) shook off an early special-teams touchdown by Tech (7-5, 4-5), and then receiver Mike Davis and the Longhorns’ running game and pass rush gave the Red Raiders a beatdown. For the second time in three years, the Red Raiders finished the regular season with a five-game losing streak. This one came after a 7-0 start that lifted Tech to No. 9 and No. 10 in the national rankings. “We played good teams,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “We just have been making too many mistakes against good teams. We got away with it early on in the year against teams that weren’t as good. Then five good teams in a row, we didn’t play our best game. That’s what happens.” Davis caught two touchdown passes against Tech for the second year in a row, including a 47-yarder that gave Texas the lead for good late in the first quarter. Running backs Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron both gave Tech trouble as the Longhorns rushed for 281 yards. And Tech’s ability to rally was muted by a Texas pass rush that frazzled freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield. The Longhorns racked up nine sacks, and Mayfield didn’t have a touchdown pass before he was lifted in favor of Michael Brewer in the fourth quarter. “It was tough,” Kingsbury said. “They had a good front and we didn’t hold up very well. They weren’t bringing too many to pressure us. It was just our guys getting beat.” Texas had a 20-10 lead at halftime and put the game out of reach on quarterback Case McCoy’s 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter and his 7-yard TD pass to Davis early in the fourth. Michael Brewer replaced Mayfield in the fourth quarter and threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jace Amaro. He completed 7 of 8 passes for 65 yards and was sacked twice. Tech punter Ryan Erxleben ran 51 yards for a touchdown on the Red Raiders’ second series. Erxleben grabbed a high snap, then sprinted right and cut through a corridor of blockers outside the numbers and on into the end zone. “The punter called that one, actually,” Kingsbury said. “He saw something and took off with it.” Erxleben, son of a former Longhorns’ All-American, was a defensive end at Austin’s Lake

2013 Texas Tech Football Travis High School. The euphoria the Red Raiders felt from his unexpected touchdown run didn’t last, though. Though the Longhorns took some time to get cranked up, they rallied ahead 20-7 on two field goals from Lou Groza Award finalist Anthony Fera sandwiched among Bergeron and Davis touchdowns. With UT at the Tech 47 late in the first quarter, McCoy faked a handoff and an end-around while Davis sneaked behind the Tech secondary. McCoy stepped back and made an easy throw to Davis, who had cornerback Justis Nelson and safety Tanner Jacobson in his wake, for a 10-7 lead. “We had a safety bite down on a fake,” McCoy said, “and I just threw it as far as I could.” A Fera field goal made it 13-7 at 8:18 before halftime, and Bergeron’s 12-yard touchdown at the 3:07 mark capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive. Fera’s field goal came one play after a lengthy delay for medical staffers to attend to Bruce Jones. On the third down, McCoy flipped a pass that went off the hands of Brown. Jones, the Tech cornerback hit Brown just as the pass went by, his head and shoulder slamming into Brown’s thigh. Physicians and trainers stabilized Jones’ head and neck before he was lifted onto a motorized cart and taken off. Tech officials said he suffered a concussion, but will be OK. Tech cut it to 20-10 when Ryan Bustin kicked a field goal as time ran out in the half. Tech had moved into scoring position with the help of a short pass that DeAndre Washington turned into 32 yards and two personal-foul penalties. One was a roughing-the-punter on fourth down in Tech territory, the other a roughing-the-passer after a third-down pass from the Texas 25 fell incomplete. Tech made it to the 8 before Mayfield misfired on second down and was sacked on third down.
