The Texas Tech Red Raiders’ football program surpassed expectations last season, capping an impressive 2022 campaign with a dominant 42-25 victory over the Ole Miss Rebels in the TaxAct Texas Bowl. Texas Tech finished the season with an 8-5 record and posted a 5-4 mark against Big 12 opponents, which was the Red Raiders’ first winning conference record since 2009.
Now, Texas Tech won’t be sneaking up on anyone, as some analysts have labeled the Red Raiders as a dark horse to win the Big 12 in 2023. That being said, Texas Tech’s schedule for the 2023 campaign is a gauntlet, as seven of the Red Raiders’ 12 opponents posted eight or more wins last season.
