Texas Tech Red Raiders

Texas Tech Red Raiders are 2-7 in College Football History in Heavyweight Title Games

Record in Title Games: 2-7 (.222)
Record in Title Defenses:  1-1 (.500)
Longest Run of Title Game Victories:  2 Wins

Highlights and Lowlights:

Texas Tech was a late comer to the Heavyweight Football Championship scene, with their first game not coming until 1964.  

The 1991 Red Raiders captured the title with a win over Baylor on November 16.  They managed to hold the title in their season finale against Houston in a 52-46 slugfest.  The fact that the 1991 team finished 6-5 and did not go to a bowl illustrates the one argument against the whole Heavyweight Football Champs concept, as it was clearly not a contender for the National Championship as most see it.  To which we at Heavyweight Football Champs respond with our 'Buster Douglas' defense.
