The Texas Tech football team looks to score a win on the road against Colorado to head into the open date on the schedule.
The 10th-ranked Red Raiders moved to 4-0 last week with a 49-14 win over Sam Houston and have a victory over Houston in Big 12 Conference play so far. The Buffaloes, meanwhile, are 2-2 on the season and dropped their conference opener 23-13 last week at Baylor.
Does Coach Prime’s team have what it takes to get the upset? Can Joey McGuire, Will Hammond and the Red Raiders walk out of Boulder with the victory?
