No. 12 Texas Tech Faces Struggling Colorado in Week 5

No. 12 Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-0) look to extend their winning streak against a struggling Colorado Buffaloes team (2-2) in Week 5 college football action.

No. 12 Texas Tech enters the matchup with a 4-0 record, having routed Sam Houston 49-14 last week despite throwing three consecutive interceptions. Linebacker Austin Romaine returned two interceptions for touchdowns. Meanwhile, Colorado has dropped its last two games after a 2-0 start and is dealing with quarterback uncertainty after benching starter Julian Lewis for Isaac Wilson last game.

The Red Raiders are favored to win and potentially start 5-0 for the second consecutive season. Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond has thrown five interceptions this season compared to just four touchdown passes. Colorado continues to struggle defensively, allowing the third-most yards and second-most points per game in the Big 12 conference. djcc.club
