Texas Tech Survives Close Call | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s 2026 season opened with a heart-pounding 52-51 win over Abilene Christian, despite losing a key transfer QB before kickoff. Though ACU stumbled in their opener with a loss to Lamar, they’re no slouch—especially on offense. The Red Raiders, however, are loaded defensively and led by poised QB Will Hammond, ready to dominate. With a historic streak against non-FBS foes intact, Texas Tech is heavy favorites—even after that nail-biter, college football’s upsets still lurk, but history says the Red Raiders usually prevail.
