  Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks (28) will be trying to expand his role after he rushed for 255 yards last season as a true freshman. For most of the 2020 football season, Texas Tech's running game was a group effort, even if SaRodorick Thompson was the leader of the pack. Down the stretch against West Virginia, though, position coach DeAndre Smith's list of available scholarship running backs dwindled to one: Tahj Brooks. During a true freshman season in which Brooks rushed for 255 yards and four touchdowns, no moment was more pressure-packed than when Brooks had to go in against WVU - and not come out. From the last minute of the third quarter through the end of the game, Brooks carried 11 times, helping Tech grind out a 34-27 homecoming victory. "Coach (Smith) put me in and he was like, 'You know what to do. I coached you hard enough to go ball,' " Brooks recounted Thursday. "He put me in those situations, and I came out successful. "What we go through every day in practice, it's nothing different. It just transferred to the game. Coach Smith knows he coaches me hard, so he knows what I'm capable of doing." - Lubbock Avalanche Journal
