MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Texas Tech has spent an enormous amount of money putting together a football team capable of competing for a Big 12 championship and potentially making the College Football Playoff.

But here’s something that should have Texas Tech fans a little nervous heading into Saturday night’s matchup with West Virginia: for all that talent and investment, the Red Raiders have still been vulnerable through the air, and they’re about to face one of the most explosive quarterbacks in college football.

GAME OF THE WEEK Roosevelt (2-7, 0-3) at Muleshoe (1-8, 0-3) 7 p.m. Friday, Benny Douglas Stadium "Win or go home" starts a week early for Roosevelt and Muleshoe. Despite the overall rough seasons between the two teams, one will be celebrating a playoff berth Friday night. The other will turn in their equipment. This matchup was the district opener last season, but it ultimately decided the final postseason spot. The Mules won a 55-49 overtime contest that proved to be the difference in the five-team District 2-3A Division II. Muleshoe gave one of the league's top teams a run in a 62-41 loss at Slaton last week. The game was tied at 35 in the fourth quarter. It was the third-most points allowed by the Tigers and second-most points scored by the Mules this season. Roosevelt enters after a 55-28 loss to Littlefield. The Eagles ran for 345 yards but could not contain the Wildcats' passing attack. Roosevelt is looking to end a two-year playoff drought. The Eagles last made it during a 9-4 campaign in 2023.
