Texas Tech kicks off its 2016/2017 season tonight against Houston Baptist. The Red Raiders look to keep last season's success rolling after they had a surprising 19-13 (9-9) year. There are a lot of new faces for the Red Raiders, but the core of last year's team is still there. Can Texas Tech start the season off right with a nice blowout win?
