Texas Tech has added a home game against Lamar to the 2018 football schedule and moved a game against Missouri State, clearing the way for the Red Raiders to open the 2018 season against Ole Miss.
The 2018 non-conference schedule, the most near-term dates Tech has been trying to finalize, would have Tech and the Rebels playing Sept. 1 at NRG Stadium in Houston, followed by Red Raiders home games Sept. 8 against Lamar and Sept. 15 against the University of Houston.
Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt said Thursday the contract for Tech-Ole Miss has yet to be signed, but he assumes it will be once ESPN works through contractual language with the SEC and the Big 12.
