By the Numbers: Texas Tech vs. Arkansas
Quick note: apologies to all STP readers for the “By the Numbers” segment being absent all of college basketball season. I’m not trying to make excuses, but work has been extremely busy and my dad is fighting stage four cancer (he is going to win but I would still appreciate your prayers!). I’ve got time […]
Texas Tech football is not bound to the last decade
You ever get mad at a take on Twitter at midnight? It happened to me on Sunday, when I came across this implication that if Texas Tech can’t win under Kliff Kingsbury then they probably can’t ever win. My strongest take about the success of Mahomes and Kingsbury in the NFL is that it may […]

By the Numbers: Texas Tech Season Outlook (Game 5)
I missed “By the Numbers” before the Iowa State game, and it’s probably no matter. The Cyclones were favored by every model and thoroughly outplayed the Red Raiders for the fifth year in a row. And since Texas Tech was off last weekend, you didn’t hear from me because my post would have been titled […]
By the Numbers: Texas Tech Season Outlook (Week 4)
What a gut punch last Saturday was. I don’t want to talk about it. Texas Tech might have gained a tad bit of respect from the analytical models for playing a highly ranked team so close. Let’s see what they have to say headed into tomorrow’s bout with Kansas State. ESPN Football Power Index […]
