When the 2019 Texas Tech football schedule was released last week, one of the biggest takeaways was that the Red Raiders’ series with Baylor would be returning to campus after ten years in Dallas and Arlington.
By playing Baylor on the last weekend of the season every-other year at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas Tech was able to avoid having to host a game in Lubbock on the weekend after Thanksgiving. But according to athletic director Kirby Hocutt, the Red Raiders will not only have to host a game on Thanksgiving weekend in 2020, that game will be the biggest game of the year.
