Texas Tech survives Houston 28-26 in a tense Big 12 opener, moving to 3-0 after a game that exposed some issues but also showed the Red Raiders can win when they’re not at their best. On this Houston Cougars Post-Game Edition of The Red Raiders Daily Blitz, Tim Hamm breaks down how Will Hammond, Kenny Johnson, J’Koby Williams and the Texas Tech defense made just enough plays to hold off No. 22 Houston. Hammond finished with 257 passing yards and a touchdown, while Kenny Johnson exploded for 113 receiving yards and a score. Texas Tech also got 168 yards on the ground, including touchdowns from Cameron Dickey and J’Koby Williams. But this wasn’t clean. Houston quarterback Conner Weigman threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, and the Cougars finished with 458 total yards while Texas Tech turned the ball over twice. The Red Raiders still found a way.

Will Hammond is back for Texas Tech football, and the Red Raiders opened the 2026 season with a 33-10 win over Abilene Christian in Lubbock. On this episode of the Texas Tech Red Raiders Daily Blitz, Timm “IndyCarTim” Hamm breaks down Hammond’s return from a torn ACL, his 298 passing yards and late 64-yard touchdown to Malcolm Simmons, and what the opener revealed about Joey McGuire’s defending Big 12 champions. We also get into Quinten Joyner’s first-touch touchdown, J’Koby Williams’ early score, Stone Harrington’s four field goals, Tommy Castellanos’ Texas Tech debut, and a Red Raiders defense that held Abilene Christian to just 119 passing yards. The biggest question after Week 1: was this simply an early-season tune-up, or did Texas Tech show some offensive issues that could matter when the schedule gets tougher? With Oregon State up next, we break down what needs to improve and why Hammond’s return is still the biggest reason for optimism.

Texas Tech football enters the 2026 season ranked No. 12 in both the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll after a school-record 12-win season, a Big 12 championship and a College Football Playoff appearance. Joey McGuire’s Red Raiders are no longer sneaking up on anyone — they’re now the highest-ranked team in the Big 12. On this episode of the Texas Tech Red Raiders Daily Blitz, we break down why the pressure is different in 2026, the returning stars led by A.J. Holmes Jr., Brice Pollock, Ben Roberts and Terrance Carter Jr., and whether Texas Tech can prove last season was the beginning of something bigger rather than a one-year breakthrough.

Jones Stadium is no more—at least officially. Texas Tech has reportedly landed a massive 15-year, $75 million naming-rights agreement with Galaxy, transforming the historic home of Red Raiders football into Galaxy Stadium beginning with the 2026 season. In this episode of the Texas Tech Red Raiders Daily Blitz, IndyCarTim examines whether the agreement is a financial masterstroke or a painful surrender of Texas Tech tradition. The partnership is expected to generate approximately $5 million annually while creating new NIL and commercial opportunities for Red Raiders athletes. Can Texas Tech use the Galaxy Stadium money to build on its first College Football Playoff appearance, retain elite players and become a permanent Big 12 championship contender? Or will fans reject the new identity and continue calling the stadium “The Jones”? The official name may be changing, but the debate over money, tradition and Texas Tech’s national ambitions is only beginning.

The Texas-Texas Tech football rivalry hasn’t needed much help finding juice over the years, but Sarkisian gave it plenty when he questioned the Red Raiders’ path compared to Texas’ schedule. His comment landed like a lit match in Lubbock. “There's a team in our state in another conference with a schedule that I would argue, if I played with our twos and threes [on the depth chart], we could go undefeated,” Sarkisian said. “And they'll probably make the CFP this year.” That’s not subtle. That’s not coach-speak. That’s a direct shot. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Texas Tech wide receiver Caleb Douglas is gaining serious momentum ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, and his growing list of visits is turning heads. In this episode, we break down why Douglas has become a name to watch on draft boards after standout pre-draft meetings with the Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, and Arizona Cardinals, along with private workouts for the New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, and Minnesota Vikings. After transferring from Florida to Texas Tech, Douglas took his game to another level. He posted 54 catches for 846 yards and 7 touchdowns last season while averaging 15.7 yards per reception, showing he can be both a chain mover and a big-play threat. At 6-foot-3 with 4.39 speed, Douglas brings size, speed, red-zone value, and contested-catch ability that could make him a steal in the later rounds. We dive into what makes Douglas appealing to NFL teams, what his draft range could look like, and why his stock may be rising at just the right time.

Texas Tech got the road win in Boulder—but it wasn’t pretty down the stretch. On this episode of The Red Raiders Daily Blitz Podcast with Timm “IndyCarTim” Hamm, we break down the real story behind the victory: foul trouble, free-throw issues, and why Grant McCasland will take “lessons in a win” every time. We also dive into the latest transfer portal twists: missed targets, shifting priorities, cap-room flexibility, and why Tech may be closer to the end of its portal haul than it feels—without forcing fits just to fill spots. Plus, a look ahead at the massive home stretch: BYU and Houston back-to-back in Lubbock, and why these two Saturdays will tell the truth about whether Tech is a tournament team… or a Big 12 contender. 👇 Comment below: Are you more worried about free throws or foul trouble?

The portal party is raging in Lubbock, and Texas Tech’s QB pursuit is officially the headline.

Meanwhile, there’s real defensive heat on campus with multiple LBs, interior DL, edge players, and a DB in the mix… and if the Ric Flair GIF hits, you’ll know why.
