Houston, here they come: Texas Tech opener no ordinary game for Adrian Frye - LubbockOnline.com

Running back Ta'Zhawn Henry made the jump after the 2019 season, wide receiver KeSean Carter and cornerback Alex Hogan since the 2020 season. "It's kind of like facing your family members. We spent two, three years together, so kind of have that bond with them. I just hope that we all ball out, and of course I want Tech to win."

New approach

Former Tech offensive coordinator David Yost had the Red Raiders operating almost exclusively out of 11 personnel - one running back, one tight end - over the past two years.

Two-back formations and even a running back shifting into the slot will be in the playbook, at least. The Red Raiders return their top four running backs from 2020.

"You're going to see a lot," running backs coach DeAndre Smith said. "

Scouting report

Running back Kyron Cumby, who joined the team this week as a walk-on transfer from Illinois, took an official visit to Tech and received a scholarship offer from the Red Raiders when he was a high-school standout at Plano.

"He's a versatile kid," running backs coach DeAndre Smith said. "Cam Watts can run. Marquis Waters can run, so we've got a lot of speed in the secondary." ... The Red Raiders will scrimmage for about 120 plays on Saturday.
