Texas Tech is entering this game with a 2-0 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their conference games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 0-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against Kent State 62-14. Behren Morton was the starting QB and he completed 18/26 passes for 258 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Adam Hill led the team in rushing yards with 127. Coy Eakin led the receivers with 59 receiving yards on 3 receptions and 1 TD. Anthony Holmes Jr. led the defense in that game with 4 solo tackles and 0 assisted tackles while Anthony Holmes Jr., Romello Height, and David Bailey each led the defense in sacks with 1. Skyler Gill-Howard came away with the only interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have Texas Tech listed as a 24.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas Tech has a 2-0 record overall this season and they have looked great in both games. They beat up on a team from the FCS in week 1 and now they are off a 62-14 win against Kent State. They haven't really been tested by a good team yet, and they aren't going to get that test at home in this one. Meanwhile, Oregon State has a 0-2 record overall this season and they have looked terrible in both games. They opened the year with a big loss to California and they played better in their last one, but they still lost to Fresno State by 2 scores and both of their games to start the season have been at home. Now they are playing their first road game of the season and this is by far their strongest opponent so far. This Oregon State defense isn't going to keep this Texas Tech offense from running up the score in this game and Oregon State hasn't looked that good on offense this year against 2 weaker defenses too. This program is a disaster while Texas Tech enters this game as a ranked team and are looking to prove themselves as a true threat in the Big 12 this season. Oregon State won't be able to do much on the road here while Texas Tech runs up the score like they did in their first 2 games. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas Tech to cover the spread in this game.

“After watching the film from Saturday, it was what I thought it was.

“I knew he would probably fight me to play. Behren is just a different cat. Really, the progression between Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I knew he was going to play.” - Joey McGuire after his team’s win against Kent State in their last game.
