Tomorrow, the Texas Tech football team faces a pivotal road game against Iowa State. A hot start to Big 12 play has the Red Raiders sitting at 5-2 on the season and at 3-1 in league play meaning Tech has put itself in position to be a factor in the conference title race.
But if the Red Raiders want to play in their first ever Big 12 title game, they probably have to find a way to beat Iowa State. A loss would drop Tech into a tie with Iowa State at 3-2 and would mean Tech would have to climb past at least four teams in the final four games of the season.
