UT writer Ian Boyd ranked the Big 12 at the four “space force” positions, those being left tackle, receiver, pass rusher and cornerback.
He’s not very high on Tech, and even though I don’t agree with the conclusion I think the analysis was fine. You can see all his individual rankings by clicking the links at the top.

Texas Tech Red Raiders
Left tackle: 10th
Wide receivers: 6th
Cornerbacks: 7th
Edge rushers: 7th
Things look really bad here, except at wide receiver where the Red Raiders have a pair of big outside weapons. If TCU could trade for TJ Vasher or Erik Ezukanma from the Tech receiving corps they'd probably overpay to make it happen. Left tackle is a big mess, although the interior O-line is great, freshman phenom Adrian Frye can't seem to hold down a cornerback job with this coaching staff, and there's no edge rusher to speak of on the entire roster. Unless you count 4i-technique Eli Howard.
Tech fans should consider following Jeff Traylor's UTSA this season, or Jake Spavital's Texas State. I think the Red Raiders will be in the market for a new head coach whenever it's financially feasible after this season.
