It’s an unfortunate and frustrating aspect of the modern era but the practice of FBS schools scheduling FCS opponents isn’t going to stop anytime soon. Thus, we can’t blame the Texas Tech football program from taking advantage of the yearly opportunity to fatten up on a team from the lower level of the sport.
This week, Tech announced that it’s FCS opponent next year will be Alabama State, thus completing the 2020 schedule. Previously, the September 12th date was open after it was believed at one time to have been filled by Lamar but the Cardinals have been replaced by the Hornets, perhaps because they did not want to come back to Lubbock just two years after suffering a 77-0 loss at Jones Stadium in the second week of the 2018 season.
