RED RAIDERS HEAD EAST TO FACE WEST VIRGINIA 15th-ranked Texas Tech will make its first trip to the state of West Virginia this weekend as the Red Raiders face the West Virginia Mountaineers at Noon (ET) on Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium. The last time Texas Tech traveled to the east coast for a regular-season game was in 2003 when the Red Raiders went to Raleigh, N.C. for a match-up against North Carolina State. The last time Tech played in the eastern time zone was on New Year’s Day 2008 when the Red Raiders notched a 31-28 win over Virginia in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. Saturday’s game will be televised nationally with an 11 a.m. CT kickoff on Fox Sports 1, which will be Tech’s third consecutive appearance on the new sports cable network. The Texas Tech Sports Network will have the radio call live across 33 affiliates in Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Brian Jensen (play-byplay), John Harris (analyst) and Chris Level (sideline) will have the call from Milan Puskar Stadium.

TEXAS TECH AND WEST VIRGINIA Saturday’s game against West Virginia will mark just the third time the two teams have faced off on the gridiron. The series is tied 1-1 following last year’s 49-14 win by Texas Tech in Lubbock. West Virginia won the only other meeting between the two teams back in 1937 in the Sun Bowl. West Virginia joined the Big 12 Conference in 2012 after departing the Big East. • There are plenty of Texas Tech connections with the West Virginia football program as Mountaineer Head Coach Dana Holgorsen began his Division I coaching career in Lubbock and spent seven seasons as an assistant coach under Mike Leach. Holgorsen tutored Texas Tech Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury for three seasons (2000-2002). Kingsbury and Holgorsen later worked together at the University of Houston. Cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell was an assistant coach under Mike Leach at Texas Tech from 2006-2009. Support staff member Lyle Leong lettered at Tech from 2007-10 and ranks second all-time with 32 career touchdowns. • In last year’s win, the Red Raiders compiled 676 yards of total offense while holding a potent WVU team to just 408 total yards. Jace Amaro racked up a career high 156 yards receiving before leaving the game due to injury. TEXAS TECH IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS • Texas Tech debuted in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll at No. 25 on Sept. 15 following a win over TCU. The AP ranking in the fourth week of the season is the earliest debut for the Red Raiders since a No. 12 preseason ranking in 2008. The Red Raiders are ranked 16th in this week’s poll and its the highest ranking for Tech since climbing to No. 15 on Oct. 21, 2012. • Texas Tech debuted in the USA Today Coaches Top 25 Poll at No. 25 on Sept. 22 following a win over Texas State. The Red Raiders are ranked 15th in this week’s poll and that is the highest ranking since the final poll of the 2008 season when Tech finished 12th. • First-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury got his team ranked after just three games and that marks a first in school history. Prior to Kingsbury, the previous mark was five games by Jim Carlen in 1970. Carlen’s squad defeated Texas A&M 21-7 in College Station on Oct. 10, 1970, and then appeared in the AP Poll at No. 17 on Oct. 12. The A&M win was Carlen’s fifth game as the head coach of the Red Raiders.
