LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) will look to extend its four-game winning streak to five on Saturday and remain atop the Big 12 standings when hosting Baylor (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) at Jones AT&T Stadium at 3 p.m. The Red Raiders also enter this weekend’s sold out homecoming contest riding a six-game home winning streak, the longest since Texas Tech won a school record 12-consecutive games inside Jones AT&T Stadium over the course of the 2007-09 seasons.
The Red Raiders, who are an impressive 14-3 under head coach Joey McGuire at Jones AT&T Stadium, host a Baylor squad for the 83rd all-time meeting. The series, which is one of the longest-running series in the Big 12 Conference as the two schools have met annually since 1956, is divided by just one game after all that time with the Bears owning a 41-40-1 advantage. Texas Tech got the better of Baylor in Waco last season, but it was the Bears who notched one of McGuire’s three career losses at Jones AT&T Stadium in 2022.
