LUBBOCK, TX — Texas Tech (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) is set to host No. 21 Colorado (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday, November 9, at 3 p.m., marking its second consecutive matchup against a top-25 opponent. Coming off a tight 23-22 win over No. 10 Iowa State, the Red Raiders have secured their 42nd bowl appearance, the most among Big 12 programs. The game will be broadcast on FOX with coverage provided by Jason Benetti, Brock Huard, and sideline reporter Allison Williams.
