Entering the bye week for Texas Tech, it makes sense to recap some of the key statistics in the conference so far. The Big 12, in my opinion, has encompassed some of the most interesting games and exciting results in the country. There really isn't a clear-cut, write-it-off winner as there have been in previous seasons, and I think the conference's newfound parity is one of the things that makes college football so fun. Take Kansas for example. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year that they would be 5-1, much less ranked, at the halfway point? Oklahoma and Iowa State are 0-3 in conference play, Kansas State is in first place in the Big 12, and TCU is still undefeated.
Keep in mind, the numbers listed are all relative to games and opponents played. These are just to give you an idea of how the Big 12 and Texas Tech stack up so far.
(ie. TCU, OSU, BU, and WVU 5 games played, rest of the conference 6 games played)

Something that jumps out to me is Tyree Wilson. That dude is a freak of nature and will no doubt be playing on Sundays next year. Also, Texas Tech has gone for it on 4th down 25 TIMES! That number is a little inflated from the Texas game, but still, that is absolutely bonkers. Second in the conference in penalties is obviously no bueno, but Texas Tech was also second in he Big 12 in opponent penalties forced which was interesting.
I think that we all expect this, but Texas Tech leads the Big 12 in sacks allowed (25) by a large margin (8 more than 9th place). On the contrary, the Red Raider defense has done a good job pressuring the opposing quarterback.
Another interesting stat is that Rayshad Williams and Malik Dunlap are tied for lead in the Big 12 in passes defended at 7 each.
Something else that suprised me: Texas Tech is 7th in the Big 12 in PPG, but 2nd in yards per game. Wild.
The rushing yards per game allowed is obviously not good, and a big part of that was Kansas State's success with Adrian Martinez and Deuce Vaughn combined 341 yards rushing.
Summary: Texas Tech in the Big 12 -
7th in scoring (PPG)
2nd in yards per game
9th in rushing yards per game
1st in passing yards per game
10th in points per game allowed
