Last week, the 2019 Texas Tech football schedule was released. The Red Raiders will host its standard six contests at Jones Stadium beginning on August 31st but none of the teams coming to Lubbock next year (Montana St. UTEP, TCU, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Iowa State) are considered marquee opponents. And given the struggles the program is already experiencing when it comes to fan engagement, 2019 could be an especially poor year to have what most would consider to be a weak home schedule.
For the past few years, the Texas Tech football program has been trying to combat the problem of declining attendance at home games.
