No. 13 Texas Tech hosts West Virginia at 8:30 p.m. tonight at Galaxy Stadium
The Daily Lubbock team
If you're settling in for the late game, here's the setup. No. 13 Texas Tech (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) hosts West Virginia (5-3, 2-3) at 8:30 p.m. at Galaxy Stadium, and it's on ESPN. After two straight 11 a.m. kickoffs, your body clock gets a break.
West Virginia wants to run, and Texas Tech knows it. “They’re one of the best offenses in the country, especially running the football,” head coach Joey McGuire said. His plan: “How many tackles for loss can we create to try to keep them behind the sticks?” Defensive coordinator Shiel Wood put it this way about quarterback Michael Hawkins: “we’ve got our hands full.”
