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. ~~Head coach Joey McGuire noted that while the team remains undefeated,~~ On Sept. 26, the ~~current season has a “different atmosphere” compared to last year’s run~~ No. 11 Red Raiders defeated Sam Houston 49-14 at Galaxy Stadium, moving to ~~the College Football Playoff, describing the start as~~ a ~~“grind” following~~ 4-0 record for the ~~loss of nine players~~ second consecutive season.
