What you need to know about Texas Tech
The Red Raiders found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 52-21 punch to the gut against the Oklahoma Sooners in their last outing. Texas Tech was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 28-7. The losing side was boosted by WR Erik Ezukanma, who caught eight passes for one TD and 123 yards.
Texas Tech is coming off a bye last week, and should enter this game rested and refreshed. The team should also have a renewed sense of focus now that school officials have made the decision to hire Joey McGuire as the program’s next full-time head coach. For the Red Raiders to keep this game close, they will have to contain Iowa State star Breece Hall and defend the run better than they have all year.
What you need to know about Iowa State
Meanwhile, the Texas Longhorns typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday the Cyclones proved too difficult a challenge. Iowa State blew past the Longhorns 30-7. It was another big night for Iowa State’s RB Breece Hall, who rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.
The Cyclones have already punched their bowl ticket, but still have a very real chance at earning a spot in the Big 12 title game. The Cyclone’s defense is arguably the best defensive unit in the conference, led by Will McDonald, who has 10 sacks, second most in the country, on the season. Hall should give the Texas Tech defense, which allows 141.8 rushing yards per game, fits.
