CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah with the warning signs that are starting to show for Texas Tech:
Through the first five weeks, Texas Tech ranks a stunning No. 73 in total defense and ninth in the Big 12 in yards per play defense. The secondary has gotten picked on consistently to the tune of the No. 127 passing defense, a miserable start. After finishing No. in sacks last season, the Red Raiders are at No. 69, projected to nearly half their mark from last season.
Red Raider Sports’ Lane Selph on special teams coordinator Kenny Perry and what players are standing out as well as a lot of items from this week’s presser with Perry:
Perry identified several players who have taken advantage of increased opportunities over the past couple games and the bye week, including Chase Campbell, Imari Jehiel, Maddox Quiller and Boss Martin.
“Those four guys right there, definitely. I think you saw those guys in the last two weeks have been playing a bunch,” Perry said. “Some of them have been playing on two or three special teams.”
