Texas Tech's Friday Night Football Dilemma | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s historic Friday night showdown against Houston kicks off Big 12 play for both undefeated teams, but the scheduling twist has sparked controversy. Coach Joey McGuire, a Texas high school football legend, admits it’s odd to break from his usual Friday night routine — even donning a coaches association hat as tribute. While the nationally televised game sells out amid strong fan support, board chairman Cody Campbell blasts the Big 12 for prioritizing ratings over honoring Texas’s Friday night tradition. Commissioner Brett Yormark defends the move, citing conference-wide agreement to boost visibility, but Campbell calls it “absolutely absurd” on social media. This marks the first time since 1941 that Texas Tech hosts a regular-season Friday night home game — and they’re reigning champs. Kickoff: 7 PM CT on FOX.
