BEARS LEAD SERIES; RED RAIDERS ON SEVEN-GAME WIN STREAK
Baylor leads the all-time series with Texas Tech 32-28-1, but the Red Raiders have been gaining ground with wins in the last seven games between the two. The Red Raiders also have won 10 of the last 12. Tech last lost in 1995, a 9-7 decision on the road, and hasn't lost since. Baylor holds the longest win streak in the series at 11 from 1947-60. The Bears lead 18-8 in 26 meetings in Waco, while Tech holds a 20-14-1 advantage at home.
TELEVISION The game will not be televised.
RADIO
The All Sports Radio Network, with its flagship station KKAM 1340-AM, carries the live broadcast of every football game throughout the state of Texas on its 26-station network. Play-by-play man Brian Jensen calls the action with longtime Lubbock broadcasting fixture John Harris as the color analyst. Mark Finkner provides the sideline coverage, while Tim Chambers serves as statistician.
THE COACH: Mike Leach
Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach is 29-19 at Texas Tech and is in his fourth season at the helm of the Red Raider program. In his first three seasons, Leach won 23 games, was the first coach in Tech history to lead his first three teams to bowl appearances, and helped Red Raider players set 125 school records. He also produced NCAA record-setting QB Kliff Kingsbury, who set 17 NCAA marks and tied four others during his three seasons as the starter. Leach's three-year record of 23 wins ties former Red Raider head coach Steve Sloan with the most over a three-year span.
SECOND-QUICKEST TO 30
A win this weekend would give head coach Mike Leach his 30th-career head coaching victory at Texas Tech and make him the second-fastest coach in Tech history to reach the total. Jim Carlen won his 30th in the 46th game he coached at Tech. The Baylor game marks the 49th for Leach as head coach.
