RED RAIDERS BACK IN PRIMETIME Texas Tech will be back under the Jones AT&T Stadium lights for a second-consecutive week after FOX selected the annual matchup for a 6:30 p.m. kick. The Red Raiders played in front of a sellout crowd of 60,454 fans this past weekend versus Oklahoma, marking the 16th time since 2010 Tech has boasted a crowd of 60,000 or larger. n Dating back to the start of the 2002 season, Texas Tech is 39-13 in night games at Jones AT&T Stadium, a 75.0 winning percentage. Under Kilff Kingsbury, Tech is 8-5 in home night games with wins in four of its last seven games under the lights. n

Texas represents the third-straight opponent for the Red Raiders that is currently ranked in the Associated Press top-25 poll. Texas Tech has dropped each of its last two games, falling to Iowa State, 40-31, in Ames and then No. 7 Oklahoma, 51-46, last weekend at home. n A victory over the Longhorns would push Texas Tech to its 39th bowl appearance in school history as the Red Raiders are currently 5-4 on the season and 3-3 in Big 12 play. Tech ranks 20th nationally and third among Big 12 programs, trailing only Texas and Oklahoma in all-time bowl appearances. Tech is looking for its 16th bowl appearance since 2000 alone and its fourth under Kliff Kingsbury. 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.
