When the Cowboys welcome the Red Raiders of Texas Tech, in what will be the conference opener for both teams, the Loyal and True will enjoy another night game.
Through the first four games on its schedule — as far forward as times have been released — the Pokes will have had kickoff times of 7 p.m. (on a Thursday), 7 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and now 6 p.m. on September 22.
The Cowboys had just one night game at home all of last season (the opener against Tulsa) and three regular season night games all year — at South Alabama and at Texas Tech.
