LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech wrapped up preseason workouts Thursday with a 2 ? hour afternoon session on the artificial turf in Jones SBC Stadium.

With spring practice and three weeks of competing against each other behind them, the Red Raiders are ready for the season to begin.

The Red Raiders spent the session fine-tuning the game plan for the Lobos. Head Coach Mike Leach feels his team is ready to play.

"We had an average practice, but those things tend to happen," Leach said. "The guys have worked hard during the preseason and are ready to face someone other than themselves. We've improved on both sides of the ball from a year ago."

Texas Tech opens the season Sat., Sept. 8, against New Mexico. The game is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff in Jones SBC Stadium. For ticket information, contact the Texas Tech Athletic Ticket Office at 806/742-TECH or 1-888-GO-BIG-12. Tickets may also be ordered online at www.texastech.com.
