If you've got Saturday night plans, Texas Tech comes in at No. 15 in the College Football Playoff poll released Tuesday evening. The Red Raiders return to action at 8:30 p.m. Saturday for a "Black Out" game vs. West Virginia.

Saturday's 34-26 win over Arizona showed a new rushing dimension, with quarterback Thomas Castellanos making his first full-time start of the season. The Avalanche-Journal says Kenny Johnson and the offense are adjusting to him as the team enters playoff mode.

Three Red Raiders yardage totals topped 100 against Arizona

News Notes

Prop A

If you live in Lubbock-Cooper ISD, voters rejected Proposition A Tuesday, with 59.9% voting no. Because the proposed increase to the maintenance and operations rate was greater than state law allows, it went to voters in a . It would have added about $65 a year to the bill for the average home and brought in about $3.85 million for teacher pay and basic operations.

This sweet dog has been in our neighborhood since yesterday.

“He is chipped and the vet clinic has left 3 voicemails but no one has called back. This poor boy has been abandoned out here. LAS will not help nor will the Sheriffs' Dept.
