Since 2006, Texas Tech has started 7, 9, 8, 10, 7, 8, 5, 4, 7, 5, 6, 8, 6, and 9 white players. In 2021 they look to start 7.

Obviously I will watch every TTU game but I wouldn’t recommend it for y’all unless you really like to watch the OL. The good thing is that the other starters (Shough & Schooler) are extremely fun players to watch who both have an NFL future. I don’t know how the WR situation will turn out with Rigdon and Mannix but I think it will be better than last year, don’t know if either of them will start. It is good to see a snow plow for the 2nd year in a row, and let’s hope Schooler can have a monster year to add onto his 51 TFLs (!!!) he has in his career.


OFFENSE
QB Tyler Shough (JR)
LT TJ Storment (SR)
LG Weston Wright (JR)
C Dawson Deaton (SR)
RG Josh Burger (SR)
RT Ethan Carde (SR)

DEFENSE
LB Colin Schooler (SR)

Players to watch:
QB Henry Colombi, QB Behren Morton, WR Dalton Rigdon, WR McLane Mannix, TE John Holcomb, TE Jason Lloyd, OT Landon Peterson, OT Casey Verhulst, OG Clayton Franks, LB Patrick Curley,

Not bad, but Tech always pisses me off with their lack of White Defenders. Pure ******** they can't find a couple more Honkeys from Oklahoma and Texas to plug into that Defense and make them instantly better. At least they have Schooler.

Shough was a great get by the Red Raiders. Oregon was foolish to hand over the starting job to the mediocre black quarterback.

@Red Raider - Wasn't there a starting white DB for Texas Tech a couple of years back? Could you remind me of who he was and what happened to him?

I feel we have all had this gripe about big 12 schools going back to the late 2000s. Tons of bad defense in the Big 12 over the past two decades...but it remains a mystery as to why to the "experts".

Absolutely, his name was Justus Parker and he had an All-Big 12 sophomore season and got kicked off the team his senior year because the new coaching staff moved him to linebacker and he used a banned supplement to gain weight. It was really stupid because he was the best safety/nickel on the team at the time.

Thanks. So the coaching staff forced him to move positions due to playing DB while White, he used a banned substance to gain the necessary weight and gets caught so they kick him off the team. He's done with football now?

Yep exactly. He announced his intentions to transfer to some HBCU for his final season and then before the season started he decided just to give up football.

That's too bad. Another caste casualty. Thanks for the info.
