The Red Raiders have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings. In their last game against Iowa State Cyclones, despite putting up an impressive 338 total yards and securing four touchdowns, they fell short with a score of 31-40. Their passing game was strong with 333 yards but was marred by three interceptions. The defense managed to sack the opposing quarterback three times and forced one fumble, showing glimpses of what they can bring to the field defensively.


In contrast, when playing at home against Kansas Jayhawks, Texas Tech dominated with an emphatic 48-16 victory. They racked up an impressive 528 total yards with both passing (441 yards) and rushing (112 yards) contributing significantly to their offense. Defensively they were solid too; recording three sacks and forcing two fumbles shows that they can be formidable when on form.


However, consistency is key for the Red Raiders as seen in their narrow win over TCU Horned Frogs where they eked out a win with a scoreline of 17-14. Their rushing attack was more effective than their passing game in this encounter as they amassed 151 rushing yards compared to only 202 passing yards.


The venue could play into Texas Tech's hands; historically, Jones AT&T Stadium has been known for its raucous atmosphere which could provide them with the extra push needed against such strong opposition as Oklahoma Sooners.


Fans should expect an intense battle where every possession counts and where Texas Tech's ability to capitalize on home advantage might just tip the scales in what promises to be an enthralling contest between two determined sides.


Catch all the action live from Jones AT&T Stadium on ABC network on November 4th at kickoff time midnight UTC (7 PM local time).
