Texas Tech Red Raiders Preview
Texas Tech moved to 4-5 after defeating TCU in Lubbock, 35-28. The Red Raiders held off a late rally from the Horned Frogs to get back into the win column, and they’ll look to secure their first ranked victory of the season this Saturday. The TTU offense is scoring 30.6 ppg, while passing for 237.0 ypg, rushing for 172.7 ypg, and converting 41.4% of their third downs.
TTU Player Notes
• Behren Morton came through with his best start of the season versus TCU, going 28/36 for 282 yards and two touchdowns. The Eastland native has struggled this year, but he’ll look to build on arguably the best outing of his career. Morton has passed for 978 yards, with 10 touchdowns to two interceptions thru six starts.

Kansas Player Notes
• Jason Bean responded to a tough outing against OU by delivering winning results on the road, passing for 287 yards and a score along the way. The veteran QB has been very serviceable in place of Jalon Daniels, and if he gets the nod again, there’s a good chance he gets the job done here at home. Bean has passed for 1,418 yards with ten touchdowns to four interceptions in five starts.
• Junior back Devin Neal has scored in consecutive contests, and he leads KU in rushing yards (828) and touchdowns (9) through nine games.

• Third-year wideout Lawrence Arnold went for a season-high 112 yards in the win over ISU, and he leads the team in receptions (31) and receiving yards (515).

• TTU is 4-5 against the spread, with a 4-5 O/U record.
• KU is 5-4 ATS, with a 5-3-1 over/under record.
Corey’s Free Pick
Kansas avoided a hangover with a tough win over Iowa State on the road, and I think they’ll keep rolling here at home. Texas Tech has underwhelmed this Fall offensively, and they’ve dropped all three of their games outside of Texas, including a season-opening loss to Wyoming. The Jayhawks are undefeated in Lawrence this year, and this feels like a manageable spot they can come through in. Let’s back Kansas for this Big 12 contest.
