Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire has the Red Raiders on a three-game winning streak entering Wednesday’s Texas Bowl matchup with Ole Miss.Under first-year coach Joey McGuire, Texas Tech is making strides in its football program. Should the Red Raiders beat Ole Miss on Wednesday night it would be the team’s first eight-win season since 2013, and its first consecutive winning seasons since the 2012-13 campaigns.
The Red Raiders have victories over Texas and Oklahoma in the same season for the first time. Tech’s five Big 12 wins is the most since 2009.Additionally, the athletic department began a $200 million investment into its football facilities in early December. And the team registered a 3.13 GPA this semester during the season.
Texas Tech, which has 14 players from the Houston area, is representing the Lone Star state in the Texas Bowl. That itself means a lot to McGuire, a 2020 inductee into the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor. The Texas Bowl is an opportunity to showcase the Red Raiders’ program in a big market. The one-time Baylor assistant said close to 100 high school football coaches attended Tech’s practice on Monday at Rice Stadium.
Shough has been limited to six games, but came on strong closing out the regular season. The 23-year-old who played in the 2020 Rose Bowl for Oregon, has potential to be playing on Sundays.
