• For the first time in school history, Texas Tech will play backto-back top-5 nationally ranked teams in No. 3 TCU and No. 4 Baylor. • Texas Tech is the nation’s only program to face two top-five nationally ranked opponents in its first five games of the 2015 season. • Texas Tech and Baylor meet for the 74th time in series history with the annual matchup deadlocked at 36-36-1. • Texas Tech and Baylor will meet at a neutral site for the seventh consecutive season. The Red Raiders and Bears moved their annual game to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for the first time in 2009. • This will be the second-straight meeting for the Red Raiders against a fellow high-powered offense. Texas Tech faced a TCU offense a week ago that came in averaging 49.7 points per game. Baylor, meanwhile, leads the country averaging 64 points per game. • Texas Tech enters its fifth game of the year averaging 53.8 points per game, a mark that ranks No. 3 nationally and No. 2 in the Big 12 Conference. • Texas Tech’s 52 points against TCU marked the seventh straight game where the Red Raiders have scored 30 or more points dating back to the conclusion of the 2014 season. Tech had not previously scored 30 points or more in three straight games to start a season since 2012. • Of Texas Tech’s 29 scoring drives this season, 15 have gone for under two minutes, while seven have gone for under a minute. • Texas Tech ranks No. 3 nationally in most passing plays of 10 or more yards (60), No. 14 nationally in most passing plays of 20 or more yards (29), No. 2 in most passing plays of 30 or more yards (18) and No. 1 in most passing plays of 40 or more yards (13).
