Though we are technically two games into the 2019 Texas Tech football campaign, the real season begins this week when the Red Raiders finally face a team that is capable of beating them. Saturday night’s game in Tempe is the first of a five-game stretch that will go quite a long way towards defining Matt Wells’ first campaign in Lubbock.
After heading to Arizona, Tech has a week off before opening Big 12 play in the most difficult way possible, by taking a trip to Norman, Oklahoma to face the Sooners. The Red Raiders then will return to Lubbock for the first home game in nearly a month when Oklahoma State comes to town.
