LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech rolled past UCF 48–9 on Saturday, improving to 10–0 for the first time since 2008 and securing its spot atop the Big 12 standings.
The Red Raiders’ surge comes as billionaire booster Cody Campbell continues to pour significant NIL support into the program, giving Texas Tech a financial foundation comparable to some of the sport’s biggest spenders. His backing has helped fuel a season that now has the Red Raiders positioned as legitimate conference-title contenders.
