Or, well, they\u2019re not as regionally based. Take the Big 12 for example. There are teams all over the map. Which means that there are teams traversing time zones and competing in different types of climates.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5h\">That\u2019s the case for the Texas Tech Red Raiders this weekend as they travel across the country to go compete in Morgantown, West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5k\">As Texas Tech gets to compete against the Mountaineers, will the West Virginia fall weather impact how the Red Raiders\u2019 offense operates? Well, Texas Tech offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich was asked just that at a recent press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Tech offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich isn&#8217;t concerned about the Red Raiders competing in cold weather vs. West Virginia<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BxtXiy_fRnM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">During the press conference<\/a>, Leftwich noted that there\u2019s no real reason for the Red Raiders to drastically alter the way they operate on offense for this particular game unless the weather gets extremely weird or weirdly extreme.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">\u201cI think if you\u2019re in like the extremes, like it\u2019s really raining or it\u2019s you know, really snowing hard or something like that, or you know, super heavy winds, maybe it\u2019d change you,\u201d Leftwich noted. \u201cBut if you\u2019re just kind of a normal, maybe gloomy day, not necessarily much will change probably.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"60\">And that\u2019s fair and also for good reason! The Red Raiders are thriving on offense and there\u2019s not much that should change unless it absolutely has to.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"63\">\u201cWe kind of have a pretty good formula right now, winning football, trying to establish the run and protect the football, and we\u2019ll continue to do that,\u201d Leftwich continued.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"66\">Which makes sense. Don\u2019t change unless you absolutely have to. And this is coming from a guy who does happen to be pretty familiar with what the weather up in that part of the world can look like.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"69\">\u201cActually, you know, I played my last two years of high school up in Pittsburgh, so I know a little bit about the weather up there,\u201d Leftwich explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most intriguing elements of the modern college football landscape is that conferences are no longer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-69625","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lubbock","8":"tag-lubbock","9":"tag-lubbock-headlines","10":"tag-lubbock-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
