Tarleton State Texans (2-0) at Texas Tech Red Raiders (0-2)
Saturday, 6:00 p.m. CT, ESPN+
Tarleton State is actually a pretty fun team. They work a high-tempo offense that scored over 50 points in both opening contests. Even so, Texas Tech needs a victory before heading into league play, and it’ll likely occur this week.
Final Score Prediction: 41-18, Texas Tech
Big 12 Football Record: 6-0
