2025 Texas Tech Red Raiders CFB Betting Lines

In 2021, after a 5-3 start to the season, the Texas Tech Red Raiders fired head coach Matt Wells, who was just one win away from bowl eligibility. Wealthy and impatient donors believed that Wells was a poor fit for West Texas after making his name at Utah State. Replacing Wells for the 2022 season was Joey McGuire, who was part of the Baylor renaissance led by Matt Rhule. McGuire is known for his ties to the Texas high school coaches. The theory was that McGuire would be a recruiting machine, given his extensive connections. McGuire has gone 8-5, 7-6, 8-5 in his first three seasons. But for 2025, there is a sense that he is on the cusp of a breakthrough.

2025 Texas Tech Red Raiders Preview

Not only was Texas Tech one of the biggest winners of college football’s offseason, but coach Joey McGuire’s team will be among the most intriguing teams to watch this fall. The Red Raiders spent big-time NIL dollars this offseason to upgrade a roster that the program hopes will translate to winning a Big 12 title and a spot in the College Football Playoff. After going 6-3 in league play last season, Texas Tech’s additions and improvements through the portal might be enough to get this team over the hump.

The Red Raiders have all of the ingredients to have one of the Big 12’s top offenses. Quarterback Behren Morton is expected to return to full strength after offseason shoulder surgery. He will have help coming from the portal to bolster the receiving corps, including Reggie Virgil (Miami, Ohio), along with Micah Hudson’s decision to return to Lubbock after transferring earlier in the offseason. But the biggest help to Morton should come in the trenches. After struggling up front in ‘24, Texas Tech added four transfers to upgrade this unit, including Howard Sampson (North Carolina) and Will Jados (Miami, Ohio). Running back Tahj Brooks will be missed, but Quinten Joyner and J’Koby Williams will keep the ground game on track.

Defense has been a long-running issue for Texas Tech. However, the hire of coordinator Shiel Wood from Houston, along with a handful of portal additions, has provided optimism for this unit to take a step forward. The biggest acquisitions for McGuire came up front. Ends David Bailey and Romello Height will create havoc off the edge, while UCF transfer Lee Hunter can fortify the interior. Jacob Rodriguez and Ben Roberts form a solid duo at linebacker, while McGuire is counting on a couple of transfers to help improve a struggling pass defense.

Since going 11-2 in 2008, the Texas Tech Red Raiders have never reached double-digit wins in a season. The Red Raiders were a consistent bowl program under head coach Mike Leach, who was fired in what some might describe as a "little league dad" incident. This occurred when commentator Craig James complained about how Leach treated his son, which ultimately led to Leach's firing. The Texas Tech Red Raider program has never recovered from botching that decision. Texas Tech has not finished in the national Top 25 since 2009 and has never produced a Top 10 finish in its history.

Located in the West Texas town of Lubbock, Texas Tech is in a remote location that is not conducive to recruiting top players. However, the Red Raiders do boast a passionate and committed donor base with ample financial resources to shake things up and make Texas Tech a Big 12 contender. With Joey McGuire as head coach, Texas Tech has the man with the necessary connections to procure talent that the donors can keep happy.

Famed Texas Tech players of the past include Donny Anderson, EJ Holub, Zach Thomas, Michael Crabtree, and Patrick Mahomes.

Mike Leach remains the winningest coach in Texas Tech history followed by Spike Dykes and Pete Cawthon.
