What Texas Tech calls on every down, distance and part of the field, and how often each call works.

From 5 games through week 5, garbage time left out. Every line compares this team with all FBS teams in the same spot and shows the count behind it. "Small sample" means fewer than 15 plays, so treat it as a lead, not a fact. Copy puts the line on your clipboard, ready to paste.
The rank is among FBS teams, with 1st the best for an offense, and the bar fills toward the best. Garbage time is left out. These are plain rates, not adjusted for opponent. A drive's points count the touchdown with its extra point or a field goal.
335 plays across 5 games. Run rate 54%. The quarterback has 13 of 180 runs, and the feed cannot tell a designed keeper from a scramble.
