Texas Tech is in a dog fight currently and the penalties being racked up by the Red Raiders are not helping. A targeting penalty at the end of the first quarter not only negated an Iowa State penalty but removed star linebacker Jordyn Brooks from the game. After that penalty, Eli Howard received a roughing the passer call which eventually led to an Iowa State touchdown. On Iowa State’s second touchdown drive, the Cyclones were gifted an unnecessary roughness penalty, a holding penalty which allowed them to re-do a failed third down and an offensive pass interference by Hakeem Butler that wasn’t called.
