BYU football is still undefeated. The number 8 Cougars are heading into Lubbock, Texas, to face the number 9 Red Raiders. BYU is the underdog, as usual, but this really gives them more fuel to play with and win. BYU is a strong team and can beat anyone. Texas Tech, however, is a strong opponent and should not be underestimated.
BYU Opponent Information: Texas Tech Red Raiders
Texas Tech University is located in Lubbock, Texas. Their mascot is the Red Raider, and they are 8-1 on the season. The Red Raiders are coached by Joey McGuire, and their quarterback is Behren Morton. Texas Tech plays its home games in Jones AT&T Stadium. The Red Raiders' only loss on the season was to Arizona State.
Texas Tech has a strong offense that has struggled under backup quarterback Will Hammond at the helm. Morton is back and is expected to start against BYU at home. Of course, BYU is a turnover factory, so Morton will have to be careful. The Cougars should pursue as many takeaways as possible to rob Texas Tech of scoring chances, while capitalizing by cashing in points off turnovers.
BYU and Texas Tech are gearing up for what should be an exciting game where number 8 will face number 9, respectively. BYU will have its hands full defensively, and the offense will have to keep busy on the scoreboard to complement the other side of the ball. Nothing comes for free, especially in Big 12 football. Both teams have their sights set on the Big 12 Championship Game, and BYU wants to keep its undefeated season alive. It's up to the Coiugars, and they can do it.
