How Texas Tech Football Can Still Earn a Spot in Big 12 Conference Championship
LUBBOCK, Texas — Despite facing some early-season challenges, Texas Tech football still has a path to the Big 12 Conference Championship, though it will require a strong finish to the season.
At 3-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play, the Red Raiders find themselves in a tight race within the Big 12. However, with key matchups remaining against conference contenders, Texas Tech can still position itself for a chance to reach the championship game.
The first step is consistency. Quarterback Tyler Shough and the offense must find rhythm and execute more efficiently, particularly in crucial conference games. Shough, who has been battling injuries, is expected to lead the offense in critical games against teams like Kansas State and Baylor. Strong performances from the defense, led by linebacker Dimitri Moore, will be pivotal in limiting high-scoring offenses across the league.
Another factor is keeping pace with other teams vying for a spot in the championship game. Texas Tech will need to secure head-to-head wins over direct rivals, including Oklahoma State and West Virginia, while hoping for upsets among the other contenders.
With a focused approach and some favorable results, Texas Tech could still make a push for its first Big 12 Championship appearance since 2008. The Red Raiders have the talent and the schedule to make a run, but time is running out.
