Texas Tech's 2016 football season will begin in exactly four days with a Sept. 3 kickoff against Stephen F. Austin.
Today, we continue our Countdown to Kickoff series with a notable way the number four relates to Red Raider football.
4: Texas Tech has had two players finish fourth in Heisman Trophy voting.
In Texas Tech's history, no Red Raider has finished higher in the Heisman Trophy voting than fourth -- something done by all-time greats Donny Anderson (1965) and Graham Harrell (2008).
There have been five other Texas Tech standouts to finish in the top 10 for the prestigious trophy: E.J. Holub (10th, 1960), Byron Hanspard (6th, 1996), Kliff Kingsbury (9th, 2002), B.J. Symons (10th, 2003) and Michael Crabtree (5th, 2008).
Tomorrow: 3 - We look at something that Baker Mayfield, Cody Hodges, Davis Webb and Steven Sheffield have in common.
