They fell off in 2014. Adam knights keeps it first down. Times last year. Texas tech had a hot start to the year and a cold finish. They go 48. Oklahoma had won ten games or more, end up going 85 after they got off to a good start. There was a lot of disappointment in these two programs at the end of last season.
