Though the 2018 season is only half-way complete, the focus of Texas Tech football fans turned to 2019 for a few moments on Thursday with the release of next year’s full schedule. The Red Raiders will open the season at home on August 31st against FCS member Montana State in a much more normal season opener than 2018’s neutral site game against Ole Miss out of the SEC.
The next week, the Red Raiders host UTEP in Jones Stadium. Tech has won the last seven games against the Miners dating all the way back to 1963.
But after that, the schedule has a few interesting, and odd quirks.
