Is it Brooks or bust for Texas Tech?

Red Raiders face must-win situation against Kansas

Texas Tech's season is on the brink following a 33-30 loss to West Virginia on Saturday. The Red Raiders are now 3-5 overall and 1-4 in Big 12 play, and they need to win their final four games to become bowl eligible.

Baker Mayfield's return not enough

Baker Mayfield's return from injury wasn't enough to spark Texas Tech's offense. The Red Raiders managed just 301 yards of total offense and turned the ball over three times. Mayfield finished the game 20-of-35 passing for 210 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions.

Defense struggles continue

Texas Tech's defense has been a major disappointment this season, and that continued against West Virginia. The Mountaineers rushed for 237 yards and passed for another 189, and they scored 30 points in the second half to come back from a 20-10 deficit.

Brooks or bust

With just four games remaining, Texas Tech's season is on the line. The Red Raiders need to win their final four games to become bowl eligible, and that starts with a road game against Kansas this Saturday.

Kansas is 1-7 overall and 0-5 in Big 12 play, so Texas Tech should be favored to win. However, the Jayhawks have played some close games this season, and they nearly upset Oklahoma last week.

If Texas Tech loses to Kansas, their season will be over. The Red Raiders will need to play their best game of the season to avoid an embarrassing loss.

Conclusion

Texas Tech's season is hanging by a thread. The Red Raiders need to win their final four games to become bowl eligible, and that starts with a road game against Kansas this Saturday.

Kansas is a beatable opponent, but Texas Tech can't afford to take them lightly. The Red Raiders need to play their best game of the season to avoid an embarrassing loss.

If Texas Tech loses to Kansas, their season will be over. It's Brooks or bust for the Red Raiders.
