Tech leads the overall series with an 18-1 all-time advantage, including an 8-1 mark in games played at Jones AT&T Stadium. n The Red Raiders are coming off a 17-14 victory last Thursday at TCU, which marked their third-straight true road win in Big 12 play.

#806D COMING OFF STRONG SHOWING The Texas Tech defense is coming off possibly its best performance of the season as the Red Raiders forced three turnovers while limiting TCU to only 14 points off 411 yards of total offense. The Red Raiders forced three turnovers, which included an Adrian Frye interception on TCU’s final play to seal the victory. n TCU’s 14 points marked the fewest allowed by the Red Raiders against a conference foe since Texas Tech defeated the Horned Frogs, 20-10, to open league action in 2013. It was the fewest points allowed in a conference road game since Tech topped Iowa State, 24-13, in its 2012 trip to Ames. n

Despite using three different starting quarterbacks through six games, Texas Tech remains one of the country’s top offensive leaders as the Red Raiders currently rank second nationally in passing offense (373.3 yards per game), fifth in total offense (551.7 yards per game) and 10th in scoring offense (43.2 points per game). Tech leads the Big 12 in both passing and total offense entering this weekend. n The Red Raiders have boasted a balanced offense with 262 rushing attempts to 270 passing attempts. That balance has helped Texas Tech control time of possession as the Red Raiders currently lead the Big 12 and rank ninth nationally in the category (34:03). n
HONORING SEÑOR SACK Texas Tech will honor the memory of the Red Raider great Gabe Rivera throughout the 2018 season. Rivera, one of five members of the prestigious Texas Tech Ring of Honor, passed away in his hometown of San Antonio on July 16.
Known by fans as “Señor Sack” throughout his career, Rivera compiled 321 career tackles, including 34 that went for a loss, over his four-year career from 1979-82. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in 2012 and the Texas Tech Ring of Honor in 2014.
