Overview
- Kickoff is noon ET Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, and the game will air on ABC.
- BetMGM opened with Texas Tech -12.5, and early FanDuel pricing lists the spread at -13.5 with a total near 50.5.
- Texas Tech has allowed about 11.2–11.3 points per game and just 68.9 rushing yards, after winning the first meeting 29-7.
- BYU leans on a methodical ground attack led by quarterback Bear Bachmeier and running back LJ Martin, averaging roughly 194.5 rushing yards.
- Both teams are 11-1 after Nov. 29 routs, and a Red Raiders victory would likely secure a College Football Playoff first-round bye.
