The Big 12 Conference has announced the kickoff time and television details for Week 10, placing West Virginia's game at Texas Tech in a late-night national spotlight. The Mountaineers and Red Raiders will square off on Saturday, November 7, at 9:30 p.m. EST at Galaxy Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, with ESPN carrying the broadcast.
West Virginia enters the contest with a 5-3 overall record and a 2-3 mark in Big 12 play, while Texas Tech stands at 7-1 and 4-1 in conference action. The game will also be available via the Mountaineers Sports Network on radio, with affiliates listed below.
After suffering three consecutive losses, West Virginia has responded with thrilling victories over Cincinnati and TCU. Against the Bearcats, the Mountaineers finally secured a late stop and then drove from their own 2-yard line to win on a walk-off field goal. Last week, the defense delivered its best performance of the season at a crucial moment: David Afogho strip-sacked Jaden Craig, and Ben Cutter recovered the fumble to seal the win.
Texas Tech, meanwhile, made a quarterback change after Will Hammond struggled to move the offense. The Red Raiders turned to Florida State transfer Thomas Castellanos, who excelled by throwing for 144 yards and two touchdowns while adding 117 rushing yards and another score. Castellanos poses a significant running threat, which could challenge a West Virginia defense that has had difficulty containing mobile quarterbacks.
Key Analysis
West Virginia's recent momentum will be tested in Lubbock, where Texas Tech's offense has found new life with Castellanos under center. The Mountaineers' defense, which has struggled against dual-threat quarterbacks, must contain Castellanos to keep the game within reach. A late-night national audience will be watching to see if West Virginia can continue its resurgence and pull off an upset on the road.
