With ESPN College GameDay in town for the first time in 17 years and a Top Ten opportunity in front of the nation, No. 9 Texas Tech delivered a 29–7 statement over No. 8 BYU that validated every tent, every hour of sleep not had and every ounce of community poured into the week.

I’m so happy for this community. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a team like this in Lubbock. It feels good to be leading this team, but we have much more to do.”
