  Setting the Stage On Saturday, November 8, 2025, the Texas Tech Red Raiders hosted BYU in a high-stakes Top-10 matchup at Jones AT&T Stadium. Texas Tech entered the game ranked No. 8, while BYU was No. 7 and undefeated. For Texas Tech, the game was more than just another conference matchup—it was a chance to cement themselves as serious contenders in the Big 12 Conference and to send a message nationally. The Game — How It Unfolded The final score told a clear story: Texas Tech 29, BYU 7 . Defense dominates. The Red Raiders’ defense absolutely locked down BYU, holding them to just 255 total yards, and only 67 on the ground. Linebacker Jacob Rodriguez was everywhere — recording 14 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. Special teams & field goals. Kicker Stone Harrington delivered a school-record five field goals in the win. Offense efficient (if not perfect). Quarterback Behren Morton passed for 216 yards and a touchdown; running back Cameron Dickey ran...

  Christian Anderson Shines in Texas Tech’s Season Opener: A New Star Emerges in Raiderland Texas Tech tipped off the 2025 basketball season with a statement, and all eyes were on one man: Christian Anderson , the freshman guard who wasted no time introducing himself to the Red Raider faithful. In a program known for gritty defense, player development, and Big 12 toughness, Anderson brought something electric to the opener— scoring instinct, high-IQ playmaking, and the kind of confidence that feels built for the big stage . If this first game is any indication, Raiderland may be witnessing the rise of its next breakout star. A Strong Debut Under the Bright Lights From the opening tip, Anderson played like he belonged. He pushed the tempo, attacked off the dribble, and knocked down shots with poise beyond his age. What stood out the most was his decision-making—he never looked rushed, never forced bad shots, and always seemed to be one step ahead of the defense. Whether Tech needed ...

   This Defense is Different (and So is the 'W' Column) Well, Red Raider Nation, if you didn't feel that one in your soul, check your pulse. Saturday's trip to Manhattan, Kansas, was supposed to be a tight one, a classic Big 12 knife fight against K-State. Instead, we got to watch our No. 13 Red Raiders deliver a second-half, $ 43-20 knockout punch that felt more like a statement than a win. For those of you keeping track at home (and honestly, who isn't?), that's 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12 . We are officially living in the good old days, folks. The Anatomy of a Beatdown It wasn't a perfect start, which, let's be honest, makes the ending even sweeter. K-State snagged the early lead, and we were down 7-0 after their opening-drive touchdown run. No panic, though. This team is built different. We clawed back to a 12-7 halftime lead on sheer grit and some serious leg strength (that 55-yard field goal as time expired? Pure gold). But the second half? ...
