Texas Tech Defense Faces Oregon State Test | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s defense, the engine behind their Big 12 title last year, hits the road for a showdown with Oregon State — a matchup that’s never been played before. With Braden Atkinson throwing for over 375 yards and Jesse Legree ready to explode for big plays, the Red Raiders’ front seven, led by Jamond Mathis, must generate pressure fast to force long, grinding drives. Veteran linebackers Ben Roberts, John Curry, and Austin Romaine need to be disciplined and limit yards after catch — no costly breakdowns allowed on the road. If they can contain the run, disrupt the pass, and play clean football, Texas Tech proves they’re still the nation’s top rushing defense — and this game could be theirs to take.
