The Red Raiders remained unbeaten by defeating Sam Houston 49-14 in their most recent outing and have climbed into the national rankings behind a productive offense and an opportunistic defense. According to Texas Tech’s game notes, the Red Raiders have won seven of their last eight true road games dating to last season and already own a road victory at Oregon State this year.The challenge entering tonight’s matchup is consistency. Despite the comfortable victory over Sam Houston, Texas Tech committed multiple turnovers, including three interceptions thrown by quarterback Will Hammond. Those mistakes were largely overcome thanks to a dominant second half and several defensive takeaways, but they could become more costly in a conference road environment.Watch Colorado vs. Texas Tech for free on FuboTVColorado seeks rebound after Baylor lossColorado enters the game looking to halt a two-game skid after falling 23-13 at Baylor in its Big 12 opener. The Buffaloes managed only three first-half points before a quarterback change provided a spark.Head coach Deion Sanders turned to Isaac Wilson during the second half against Baylor after starter Julian Lewis struggled to move the offense. Wilson responded by throwing for 156 yards and a touchdown while leading Colorado’s most productive drives of the game. Heading into the game, Sanders had not publicly confirmed which quarterback would start against Texas Tech. Playing at home could give Colorado a boost. Folsom Field has long been one of the Big 12’s most distinctive venues, and the Buffaloes will be eager to earn a signature conference victory against a ranked opponent.Watch Colorado vs. Texas Tech for free on DIRECTVPlayers to watch tonightTexas Tech quarterback Will Hammond remains one of the most important figures in the matchup. While the Red Raiders are unbeaten, Hammond’s ball security will be closely watched after he threw three interceptions against Sam Houston. FOX Sports notes that he has guided an offense averaging more than 36 points per game despite recent turnover concerns.On defense, linebacker Austin Romaine has become a difference-maker. Romaine returned interceptions for touchdowns on consecutive defensive snaps in last week’s victory and has emerged as one of the Big 12’s most disruptive defenders. For Colorado, wide receiver Joseph Williams has developed into the offense’s top receiving threat. Williams is coming off an impressive performance against Baylor in which he posted 11 catches, 127 receiving yards and a touchdown. His ability to create explosive plays could be critical against Texas Tech’s aggressive defense. Whether Colorado turns to Lewis, Wilson or both, the Buffaloes will need efficient quarterback play against a Texas Tech defense that has generated persistent pressure through four games.Watch Colorado vs. Texas Tech for free on FuboTVWho is calling Texas Tech vs. Colorado?Tonight’s broadcast of No. 12 Texas Tech’s road matchup against Colorado will be led by Noah Reed on play-by-play, with former Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner serving as the game analyst.
