Raiders hope fresh approach leads to more bowl wins 12/21/10 - 6:45pm

Between the 2002 and 2007 football seasons, Texas Tech made a habit of winning bowl games. Former coach Mike Leach reversed the Red Raiders’ dismal postseason history in that six-year period with a 5-1 bowl record. Coincidentally, one of the few coaches to be as successful in that time frame was current Tech coach Tommy Tuberville when he was at Auburn. The Tigers also posted a 5-1 bowl record from 2002 through 2007 with wins at the Capital One, Music City, Sugar, Cotton and Chick-Fil-A bowls.
