Texas Tech’s next stop is the Texas Bowl — not to face an old rival, but a power program the Red Raiders haven’t encountered in more than a half century.
The Red Raiders (7-5) are headed to Houston to play LSU (8-3) on Dec. 29, Texas Bowl oficials announced Sunday.
The game will showcase two of the nation’s top dozen rushers: Doak Walker Award finalist Leonard Fournette from LSU and Big 12 rushing leader DeAndre Washington from Tech. Fournette’s run for 1,741 yards this season, Washington for 1,455.
The game kicks off at 8 p.m. Dec.
