Game Log: Baylor Crushes Texas Tech 45-17 In Lubbock
The Baylor Bears (4-3, 2-2) look to go above .500 in conference play as they travel to Lubbock to play Texas Tech (4-3, 2-2) Saturday night.
The Bears have not won in Lubbock since 1990, although these two teams annually faced off at a neutral site (both in Dallas and Arlington) from 2010-2019. The last two matchups have been decided by a combined four points, with the Red Raiders winning 24-23 in Lubbock in 2020 and the Bears surviving 27-24 in Waco last year.
The all-time series between these two schools is nearly as close as it gets, with Baylor holding a slight edge at 40-39-1. The matchup also pits Red Raider head coach Joey McGuire against his old team, as he was the associate head coach at Baylor from 2017 until he took the Tech job last November.
In an added wrinkle, not only is the game sold out, but former NFL MVP and Red Raider great Patrick Mahomes will be inducted into the school's ring of honor.
