REACTION: Texas Tech Runs Over Arizona — Is Castellanos the Answer at QB?
From Saturday vs Sunday · 00:20:18
Show by John Barban & Geoff Dover
Texas Tech may have found its formula.The Red Raiders turned to Tommy Castellanos at quarterback against Arizona, and the result was an offense that looked completely different. Castellanos’ ability to run put enormous pressure on the Wildcats’ defense, helping Texas Tech pile up 328 rushing yards while creating opportunities in the passing game.We break down why Castellanos can be such a difficult quarterback to defend when he’s protecting the football, playing to his strengths, and whether this performance was enough to make him Texas Tech’s starter moving forward.We also look at a fascinating contrast between the two offenses. Arizona’s Noah Fifita threw for more than 400 yards, but the Wildcats were essentially unable to run the football. Texas Tech did exactly the opposite, dominating on the ground while its defensive front consistently pressured Fifita.The game was still 24-23 entering the fourth quarter, but that’s when Texas Tech took control. The defense shut Arizona down while the running game delivered the finishing blow.With a dominant defensive front, a powerful rushing attack and Castellanos adding another dimension at quarterback, Texas Tech suddenly looks like a very difficult team to deal with in the Big 12.Is this the version of the Red Raiders we’ll see the rest of the season?https://www.lung.org/lung-force/about-lung-force/featured-campaigns/lung-cancer-awareness-monthhttps://www.lungevity.org/lcam-2026
