Texas Tech Red Raiders

Texas Tech has endured a difficult road so far this season, beginning with an opening loss to Wyoming before taking Oregon down to the wire in week two. West Virginia provided yet another set back for the Red Raiders as they hope to continue generating wins and move through the Big 12 slate. Injuries are an issue for Texas Tech in this matchup; being without Tyler Shough (leg) until November is a major absence, while Jordan Brown (hip) is also questionable. As a result, they'll need to lean heavily on Tahj Brooks (518 yards, 6.2 yards per carry) to set the tone. Their offense started the season looking like it could match anyone however they rank in the middle of the pack nationally when it comes to most categories. While struggling to protect the quarterback has been their biggest flaw, and they'll need to get Brooks going if they want to control the clock and flip the script. Currently, Texas Tech is 58th in the power ranking with a record of 2-3 (2-3 ATS). Offensively, they are ranked 67th, averaging 29.25 points per game, while defensively they are 69th, allowing 24.00 points per game.
