Texas Tech faces North Texas in a non-conference matchup on Saturday. The Mean Green (1-2) have lost close games to Arkansas and Boise State, while the Red Raiders (2-1) are coming off a bye week. North Texas has a solid offense, led by quarterback Austin Aune and running back DeAndre Torrey. However, the Mean Green’s defense has struggled, allowing an average of 43.7 points per game. Texas Tech’s offense, led by quarterback Donovan Smith and running back SaRodorick Thompson, should have a field day. The Red Raiders’ defense, while not perfect, has shown improvement and should be able to contain North Texas’ offense. Prediction: Texas Tech wins, 45-21.
