Texas Tech football season progression
Overview
The Texas Tech Red Raiders entered the preseason ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press college football poll, following a season in which they won the Big 12 title. The program faced roster changes due to the departure of starting quarterback Brendan Sorsby following a sports gambling controversy, leading to Will Hammond taking over the position. After a 33-10 season-opening victory over Abilene Christian, the team rose to a No. 13 national ranking. Texas Tech extended its undefeated record to 2-0 following a 35-24 victory over Oregon State at Reser Stadium. In their Big 12 conference opener on Sept. 18, the No. 13 Red Raiders secured a 28-26 victory over No. 22 Houston at Galaxy Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. Houston initially led 10-0 following an interception, but Texas Tech rallied behind quarterback Will Hammond, who completed 17 of 27 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown. Rushing touchdowns from J’Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey helped build the lead. Houston mounted a late comeback, including a 10-yard touchdown pass from Conner Weigman to Patrick Overmyer with 49 seconds remaining, but a failed two-point conversion attempt was ruled short of the goal line after a replay review. The victory allowed Texas Tech to maintain an undefeated 3-0 record and extended its home winning streak to 10 games. Now ranked No. 11, the Red Raiders have achieved a 3-0 start for the second consecutive season, a feat not seen since a three-season run 13 years ago. On Sept. 26, the No. 11 Red Raiders defeated Sam Houston 49-14 at Galaxy Stadium, moving to a 4-0 record for the second consecutive season. The win was highlighted by linebacker Austin Romaine, who became the first FBS player in 13 years to return two interceptions for touchdowns on consecutive plays during the second quarter.
