Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt says adding a 2018 football season opener against Mississippi necessitates moving the Red Raiders’ previously scheduled opener against Missouri State to another season.
That’s the holdup in finalizing the Tech-Ole Miss matchup reported recently by ESPN.com.
“I’m confident that we’ll be able to move the games that need to be and come to an agreement with ESPN on that game,” Hocutt said Monday, “so I’m excited about it. The contract hasn’t been executed as of today, but I see no reason why it will not be in the coming weeks.”
