When does Texas Tech play Sam Houston? Time, TV schedule to watch Week 4 game - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Texas Tech football closes out non-conference play at home this weekend against Sam Houston, with the Week 4 matchup airing nationally on TNT.
The Red Raiders enter at 3-0 after grinding out a 28-26 win over Houston, and they'll host a Bearkats team that picked up its own first win of the season by blowing out Nicholls State in Week 3. That puts Sam Houston at 2-1 heading into Lubbock. Folks staying home can catch the game on TNT, and anyone without cable can stream it through Sling, though that requires a subscription.
For Tech fans, this is the last tune-up before conference play ramps up, and a clean win keeps the 3-0 start intact heading into tougher matchups. Sam Houston has shown it can put points on the board after its Week 3 blowout, so this isn't a total gimme even with Tech favored at home. Anyone planning a watch party around Overton or heading out near the Depot District bars should know the national TNT slot means this game gets more eyeballs than a typical non-conference tilt.
Two teams, two very different paths to 3-0 status this season, and only one gets to keep that record after Saturday.
