Texas Tech Leads Big 12 in Scoring Offense, Ranks 10th Nationally Amid Injury Challenges

Texas Tech's football team continues to lead the Big 12 in offensive performance, boasting the best total and scoring offense in the conference despite recent quarterback injuries. The team operates under the effective veer-and-shoot system implemented by offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich, which has thrust them to the top of key offensive statistics. However, concerns have been raised about the team's depth and health, with injuries to key players potentially jeopardizing their bid for the Big 12 Championship and an at-large playoff spot. ESPN's Football Power Index still includes Texas Tech among five Big 12 teams with a chance at the national championship, reflecting cautious optimism despite setbacks. Meanwhile, Texas Tech's men's basketball team has achieved its highest preseason AP ranking at No. 10, fueled by standout players like preseason All-America forward JT Toppin and a strong recruiting class, setting high expectations for the season.
