How to Watch Texas Tech vs. Sam Houston: Red Raiders Hope to Perfect - roundtable.io

The Red Raiders enter at 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12 after surviving No. 22 Houston 28-26 last week. Tech has won 10 straight home games at Galaxy Stadium, a streak fans will be watching closely before Big 12 play resumes.

Sam Houston isn't the pushover a lot of people might expect from a nonconference matchup this late in September. Quarterback Landyn Locke has thrown for 300 yards in each of his first three games, racking up 973 yards through the air already. The Bearkats bring an explosive passing attack paired with a defense that's been improving fast. Tech coaches know a letdown here could cost them heading into conference play.

For Lubbock, this one matters beyond the box score. A win keeps the Red Raiders unbeaten and extends a home streak that's become one of the program's real points of pride. Fans packing Galaxy Stadium this weekend get a shot at watching history stack up in real time.

Can Tech's defense be the one to finally slow Locke down?
