Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville Rips Headset Off Assistant

Texas Tech was heavily favored and expected to easily handle Kansas on Saturday afternoon. However, the Jayhawks hung around and gave the Red Raiders all they could handle. 

The frustration clearly showed on the Texas Tech sideline in the third quarter, as coach Tommy Tuberville ripped the headset off of graduate assistant Kevin Oliver after the Red Raiders got a penalty on fourth down. The five-yard setback prevented Texas Tech from going for it on fourth down. 

After the game, Tuberville commented he was trying to grab the coach's shirt since he needed to get off the field. Really? Not sure that explanation really adds up for Tuberville.
