Oregon State Beavers vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction

I’m on the Red Raiders here. Until I have a reason to think otherwise, I have to assume that Texas Tech is going to keep steamrolling everyone, especially an Oregon State team that’s had early defensive issues so far this season and have been ar less effective on the road in recent years. I think this is going to be another runaway from the Red Raiders so give me Texas Tech in this one.
