Overview
- No. 7 BYU enters 8-0 and No. 8 Texas Tech 8-1 in the Big 12’s first top-10 conference meeting since 2021, with the Cougars the league’s last unbeaten.
- ESPN’s College GameDay will be on site and ABC carries the noon ET kickoff, with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit on the call.
- Covers lists Texas Tech -10.5 with a total of 52.5 and moneylines of BYU +300/Texas Tech -375, while ESPN Analytics gives the Red Raiders a 60.9% win probability.
- Texas Tech QB Behren Morton returned last week from a right leg injury, and BYU RB LJ Martin practiced this week after a shoulder issue.
- Analysts say a Texas Tech win would all but lock a Big 12 title game berth, whereas a BYU victory would complicate the race, and BYU is 0-3 in games tied to College GameDay appearances.
