Texas Tech’s Rise to Contender Status | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech football is no longer the underdog — they’re national contenders. After a dominant 12-2 season and Big 12 title last year, head coach Joey McGuire’s stock has skyrocketed, with the Red Raiders now ranked two tiers higher nationally. They crushed every Big 12 opponent by double digits, proving their investment in talent and coaching is paying off. With a new QB, Will Hammond, and a loaded offense, they’re primed for another championship run. The pressure is on from day one — opening against Abilene Christian — as they aim to repeat as conference champs and chase the College Football Playoff. The Big 12 better watch out: Texas Tech isn’t just showing up — they’re setting the standard. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
