Texas Tech keeps winning, but the warning signs are getting harder to ignore

No. 10 Texas Tech was a heavy favorite to win the Big 12 for the second straight season after cruising to the College Football Playoff last year. Through five weeks, though, returns have been decidedly mixed. The Red Raiders rank outside of the top 10 of the Big 12 in both offense and defense. They're 12th in yards per play and are tied for worst in the conference with six interceptions. Their only ranked matchup at home came down to a stopped two-point conversion against Houston .
