Can Texas Tech Defy the Odds and Thrive Without Brendan Sorsby?
“Tech remains the obvious Big 12 favorite both because of the talent on hand and because of how shockingly light the Red Raiders’ schedule turned out to be. … There are always challenges in store, but it would take quite the run of surprises to prevent Tech from returning to [the Big 12 title game] and racking up a huge win total in the process,” Connelly wrote.
“The Red Raiders certainly face some big questions this fall: How good can QB Will Hammond be when healthy (and when will he be healthy)? Does the new receiving corps provide enough help? Am I glossing over the massive losses they face in the defensive front six simply because I like their new transfer haul? They did laps around the rest of the Big 12 in 2025 — in three games against the Big 12’s second- and third-best teams (BYU and Utah), they won by a combined 97-24 — and they get massive benefit of the doubt because of it. I expect another top-10 product, even if unexpected QB questions keep them from making any sort of major CFP run.”
