Texas Tech football Q&A — The fans fume over the offense - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Texas Tech football fans are publicly voicing their frustration with the Red Raiders' offensive performance, despite the team securing a 33-10 season-opening victory against Abilene Christian on September 5 at Galaxy Stadium. Many who follow the Red Raiders believe that any offensive coordinator must meet "Mike Leach standards," where victory alone is not enough.
Many who follow the Red Raiders believe that any offensive coordinator must meet "Mike Leach standards," where victory alone is not enough. For a loud and large portion of the fan base, satisfaction demands not just a win, but breaking 50 points on the scoreboard and looking good while doing it. The 33-10 score against Abilene Christian, while a win, did not come close to that offensive output or style.
This sentiment means that for many folks across Lubbock, including those living just north of 19th Street near campus, the offensive coordinator faces intense scrutiny regardless of the final score. The flood of questions received for a Q&A session clearly reflects this widespread dissatisfaction with the team's offensive look.
A win that falls short of a 50-point offensive spectacle, it seems, can still generate more complaints than cheers from the Red Raider faithful.
