BOWL ELIGIBILITY STILL IN REACH The key message for Matt Wells following the Iowa State loss was that bowl eligibility was still in reach for the Red Raiders, who enter this weekend at 3-4 overall and 1-3 in Big 12 play. A victory over Kansas would push the Red Raiders back to .500 for the season heading into a November slate that features home games against both TCU and Kansas State. n Texas Tech has already faced four of the top-six teams in the Big 12 preseason poll as the Red Raiders went 1-3 during that stretch with a win over then-No. 21 Oklahoma State. n

BROOKS IN THE MIDST OF CAREER YEAR
SOCIAL MEDIA: #WreckEm n Twitter: @TexasTechFB n Hashtag: #WreckEm / #WeUsOurProgram n Instagram: @TexasTech_FB n Facebook: TexasTechFootball
Jordyn Brooks has put his name in contention with the top linebackers in college football this season as the senior is in the midst of his best year as a Red Raider thanks to a Big 12-leading 78 tackles already through seven games. He ranks fourth nationally for tackles for a loss per game (1.9), sixth in total tackles per game (11.1) and 10th for solo tackles per game (6.1). n Brooks added two tackles for a loss against Iowa State, bringing his yearly total to a team-leading 13.5 entering this weekend. With five games still to play, it marks the most tackles for a loss in a season by a Red Raider since Pete Robertson recorded the same total in 2013. n
HONORING TWO LEGENDS
Texas Tech will honor the memory of two of its all-time greats the remainder this season in College Football Hall of Famers and Ring of Honor members Dave Parks and E.J. Holub. Parks passed away Aug. 8 at the age of 77, while Holub passed Sept. 21 at the age of 81. Texas Tech will wear two special helmet decals for both legends throughout the remainder of the 2019 football season.
WE, US & OUR PROGRAM Since his hire last November, Matt Wells has emphasized that the Red Raider football program will be a “We, Us and Our Program.” “This is a We, Us and Our Program. I’ve said it from day one it’s not about me, it’s not about the starting linebacker, running back or one coordinator or one fan. It’s the power of what we can do together. We’re not an offensive unit. We’re not a defensive unit. We’re a team. We’re Red Raiders. It’s the culture we are creating in this program. We need the passion of Red Raider Nation to make Jones AT&T Stadium the toughest place to play in the Big 12 Conference. We have to do it together.” - Matt Wells #WreckEm
