Game Primer: How To Watch, Things to Know for Kansas at Texas Tech
The Kansas Jayhawks have achieved one of the main goals for the season, securing bowl eligibility last week. But now they are looking for another achievement: multiple conference road wins in the same season for the first time since the 2007 season. And the opponent for this game is a Texas Tech Red Raiders squad that started 3-1 to start entertaining bowl game thoughts of their own.
Kansas is receiving votes in both polls, but they have been ranked as high as #19. Texas Tech is unranked.
Texas Tech leads the all-time series 21-2, including a 10-1 record in Lubbock. The only win for the Jayhawks on the road came on October 6th, 2001 in a 34-31 overtime win
