After knocking off back to back ranked opponents before the bye, Iowa State would look to continue their run to the top of the Big 12 against a rising Texas Tech team. Tech came to Jack Trice with a 5-2 record with and back to back wins of their own. The Red Raiders entered the game having scored at least 30 points in every game but 2, and freshman QB Alan Bowman lighting up opposing defenses for 348 yards per game. Alan also had 14 touchdowns to just 4 interceptions on the season. With receivers like Nate Vasher and Antoine Wesley, the Iowa State defense would have to step up.
