Texas Tech

Big 12 · 2026 season

The story so far

Texas Tech fans spent a 7-1 start convinced the wins were hollow, blaming OC Mack Leftwich every single week and doubting the team was as good as last year. The ASU blowout briefly won them over before the Cincinnati loss sent misery to 97, and even the Arizona win left them uneasy.

what fans talked about, week by week
Season-long

  • Fans ripped Leftwich in all 8 weeks over red zone failures, shotgun on short fourth downs and predictable calls, briefly softening after Houston and ASU before demanding he go even after wins.

    “We have two of the best RBs in the conference. And Joyner I suppose. We need to stop making Hammond more than anything but a complementary piece and let the run game dictate. Leftwich is bad man”
