New look
Texas Tech wore a new uniform combination for Thursday’s home game against Kansas: red helmets with the Double-T logo, red jerseys, white pants, red socks and white shoes.
With the exception of a Wounded Warriors Project helmet Tech wore in the 2013 Kansas State game, it was the Red Raiders’ first time to wear red helmets since 1958-60, when they were the standard look, and 1961, when the team used both red and black helmets.
First starts
Three walk-ons — fullback Mason Reed, safety Kisean Allen and punter Erik Baughman — made their first career starts for Tech.
