Texas Tech opened its season up against he SFA Lumberjacks in a matchup that was more less a tuning game for the Red Raiders.
Some of their Big 12 Conference opponents, on the other hand, opened their schedules up against stellar teams like Houston, UCLA and Notre Dame. So for the Red Raiders to win by a final of 69-17 against and FCS team is not talked about as much.
