Texas Tech football also announced a game with New Mexico in 2027, which replaces a game with North Texas that was to be played in Denton. The first domino that fell was that NC State dropped the game in Lubbock, prompting Texas Tech to drop the game game away at North Texas in order to keep 6 home games. I think that the buyout of both games was $1 million, so $1 million was paid to Texas Tech from NC State and that $1 million went to North Texas. Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams reports that Texas Tech will pay New Mexico $1.2 million. Texas Tech still needs to fill one more date.
Rivals’ Keegan Pope has the top committed recruits in the Big 12 and Texas Tech has 8 of the 10: DL Jalen Brewster; WR Benny Easter, Jr.; LB Jhadyn Nelson; DE Anthony Sweeney; WR Julian Caldwell; QB Kavian Bryant; DL K’Adrian Redmond; and RB SaRod Baker.
CBS Sports’ Austin Nivison on one key game for the top 25 that could define the season:
11. Texas Tech | at Oklahoma State | Nov. 14
The Red Raiders’ road slate isn’t exactly filled with landmines, but this visit to Stillwater is interesting. The Oklahoma State offense has undergone a major facelift with the hiring of Eric Morris and the addition of Drew Mestemaker via the transfer portal at quarterback. If their slew of Denton transplants work out, the Cowboys could be a dangerous underdog. Texas Tech can’t be complacent after a 42-0 blowout last season.
