It lost a 28-27 thriller to Pitt, won the rivalry game against Miami University, and last week rolled in the Big 12 opener against Houston. This starts a run of three road games in four and five in the next seven – it has to steal an away win somewhere.
Texas Tech was lousy in the 37-16 loss at Washington State, but it got back on track hanging 66 on North Texas followed by a strong Big 12 opening win over Arizona State. It starts a run of three road games in four after this.
