Texas Tech will face Kansas in an 11 a.m. kickoff on Oct. 7 in Lawrence
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech will have another early start on Oct. 7 when the Red Raiders travel to face Kansas in an 11 a.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium. Television coverage will be provided nationally on FOX Sports 1.
Â
This will be Tech's second 11 a.m. kickoff this season as the Red Raiders had a similar start time this past weekend at Houston. The Red Raiders edged the Cougars, 27-24, to improve to 3-0 on the season while snapping the nation's longest home winning streak in the process.
Â
Tech has had an 11 a.m. kickoff in each of its last four visits to Lawrence as the Red Raiders are 4-0 in those games and 17-1 overall in the series. The two schools met in a Thursday primetime battle last year where Tech routed the Jayhawks, 55-19, behind four touchdown passes each from Patrick Mahomes II and Nic Shimonek.
Â
Tech will be making its second nationally-televised appearance of the season against the Jayhawks as the Houston game was covered across the country by ABC and ESPN2. It will be the fourth appearance on a FOX Sports network this year.
Â
Before heading to Lawrence, the Red Raiders must first host 15th-ranked Oklahoma State in a 7 p.m. primetime kickoff this Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium. Tech is calling for a "Blackout" as all fans are encouraged to wear black on Saturday.
Â
Limited tickets are still available for the Oklahoma State game by contacting the Tech Ticket Office at 806-742-TECH or by purchasing online.
