Texas Tech Defense Tests Against Oregon State's QB | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s defense braces for a tough test against Oregon State’s explosive offense, missing starting safety Brenden Jordan for the second straight game—forcing Peyton Morgan to call plays. Oregon State’s Braden Atkinson, a top FCS freshman last year, torched defenses with 370+ yards in his debut and is poised to challenge Texas Tech’s conservative approach. Coach McGuire pushes for more aggression on offense, while DC Shiel Wood prepares his unit for Atkinson’s deep bombs and quick gains. With Atkinson’s 3,600-yard, 34-touchdown freshman campaign still fresh in mind, Texas Tech must sharpen its coverage as they head to Corvallis for a pivotal Saturday night showdown at 6:30 PM CT.
