Red Raiders will face Jayhawks on either ESPN or ESPN2; network to be determined.

LUBBOCK, Texas – The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that ESPN or ESPN2 will air No. 5 Texas Tech’s Big 12 Conference game at No. 15 Kansas for its 11 a.m. CT broadcast Oct. 25 from Memorial Stadium in Lawrence. The game is the fifth of the season on television for the Red Raiders.

Texas Tech enters this weekend’s game against Texas A&M with a 6-0 record for only the fifth time in school history. The Red Raiders are coming off of a 37-31 overtime win over Nebraska in Lubbock, while the 2-3 Aggies dropped a 44-30 decision to Kansas State in College Station.

The Red Raiders have won 10 of the last 13 games against the Aggies, but trail in the series 31-34-1. Texas Tech claimed a last-minute win in College Station in 2006 as Graham Harrell hit Robert Johnson in the corner of the end zone with 27 seconds to play. Texas A&M last defeated the Red Raiders during the 2004 season, a 32-25 overtime win at Kyle Field.

Texas Tech’s game against Texas A&M this weekend kicks off at 11 a.m. and is an FSN national broadcast.
