This offseason, the Texas Tech Red Raiders went all in by bringing in an elite transfer portal class that makes them a contender for the College Football Playoff as well as the Big 12 Championship. While they've only faced cupcake opponents, Texas Tech has dominated it's competition on the way to the 21st ranking in the AP Poll and a 2-0 record.
On the other side of this matchup, the Oregon State Beavers are trying to get off of the mat after an abysmal start. Oregon State is 0-2 to start the season with losses to California and Fresno State and if they can't start to put it all together this could end up being a really long season as the schedule does them no favors.
