RED RAIDERS LOOKING TO REBOUND n Following three-consecutive losses, the Red Raiders will look to rebound this weekend when Texas Tech hosts Kansas State inside Jones AT&T Stadium. The Red Raiders’ three-game losing streak is their longest this season. All four of Tech’s losses this season have come against teams currently ranked or receiving votes in the national polls. n Since the start of the 2015 season, Texas Tech has bounced back from a three-game losing streak with a win in its very next contest. The Red Raiders rebounded with wins over both TCU and Baylor in such situations a year ago and then against Kansas State in 2015. PARKER KEEPS FORCING TURNOVERS n If there is a turnover forced by the Texas Tech defense this year, odds are likely that sophomore defensive back Justus Parker is involved. Parker has a team-leading three interceptions this year to go along with two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, all of which have come in the last four games. n Parker is tied for 22nd nationally and second in the Big 12 with his three interceptions this season. He is part of a Tech defense that has picked off 10 passes altogether this year, which is twice as many as the Red Raiders recorded a year ago.

TEXAS TECH HEADS TO NOVEMBER n The Red Raiders head to the month of November needing at least two wins to be bowl eligible for the 38th time in program history. Texas Tech will face three teams that are currently .500 or worse on the season and then a 7-1 TCU squad that is ranked 10th in the country this week. n The stretch run in November begins at home this weekend where the Red Raiders are averaging an impressive 50.1 points per game dating back to the start of the 2015 season. Tech has scored 50 or more points 12 times at home during that span, five more than any other school in the country.
