Red Raiders and Jayhawks Set for Gridiron Battle at Jones AT&T Stadium

As the Texas Tech Red Raiders prepare to host the Kansas Jayhawks at Jones AT&T Stadium, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around a challenging season. The upcoming game on December 5th is not just another fixture; it's a chance for redemption.

The Red Raiders' recent performance against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on November 28th showcased their fighting spirit despite the loss, with an impressive offensive display that racked up 629 total yards. The passing game was particularly effective, as they threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns. However, defensive lapses allowed 50 points against them, which ultimately led to their defeat.

Looking back at the game against Baylor Bears on November 14th in Lubbock gives us some insights into how TTRR might fare in their upcoming match. It was a narrow victory with a score of 24-23, where field goals played a crucial role – all four attempts were successful. This win highlighted that even when other aspects of the game aren't clicking perfectly, special teams can be relied upon to secure points.

However, there are areas of concern that need addressing before facing Kansas Jayhawks. The previous encounter with TCU Horned Frogs on November 7th exposed weaknesses in both offense and defense for TTRR. With only an average gain of roughly four yards per play and allowing 34 points by TCU's offense shows there is significant room for improvement.

The key takeaway from these past games is that while Texas Tech has demonstrated they can score both through air and ground attacks – evident by six total touchdowns against Oklahoma State – consistency remains an issue. To come out victorious against Kansas Jayhawks, they will need to tighten up defensively and capitalize on every scoring opportunity presented by their special teams unit.

With home-field advantage and lessons learned from previous outings this season, it would not be surprising if Texas Tech pulls off an assertive performance leading to victory over Kansas Jayhawks. Fans should expect a determined squad ready to make amends for earlier setbacks this season.

Red Raider enthusiasts should mark their calendars for December 5th at 11:00 AM CST when TT takes on KAN at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. For those unable to attend in person, Fox Sports 2 will broadcast live coverage via satellite channel number 618 so no one misses out on what promises to be an exciting college football matchup.
