Texas Tech and TCU - both coming off unsettling losses when they played last weekend - face each other Saturday, Oct. 9. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV.
The Red Raiders (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) bounced back by winning at West Virginia.
TCU (2-2, 0-1), which plays in Lubbock on Saturday night, lost to local rival SMU and then fell 32-27 in its Big 12 opener last week against the same Texas team that a week earlier at home overwhelmed the Red Raiders, 70-35.
After traveling nearly 1,500 miles for the game and taking a 17-0 halftime, the Red Raiders still needed Jonathan Garibay's 32-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining to win 23-20 at West Virginia. They were without six starters, including top receiver Erik Ezukanma (concussion protocol) and leading rusher Tahj Brooks (lower leg). Quarterback Tyler Shough (broken collarbone) was already out until at least November.

Preview
FORMER BOSS: Texas Tech offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie, the former Red Raiders quarterback who returned last December for his second coaching stint with his alma mater, got emotional this week when discussing his previous seven seasons on Patterson's staff at TCU.
"Part of my maturation as a coach, a lot of it is really owed to him, a lot of the lessons that I learned from him, so I'm very appreciative of coach Patterson," said Cumbie, who choked up talking about it. "He took a chance on me and really stood behind me a lot."
There was one lesson from Patterson that is particularly applicable this week.
"He taught me a lot of things about, for three hours what you have to do opponent-wise to prepare your mindset," Cumbie said.
RUNNING FROGS: TCU sophomore Zach Evans has had three consecutive 100-yard rushing games, and will try to become the first Horned Frog since Lonta Hobbs in 2002 with four in a row. Evans ran for 113 yards on 15 carries in the loss to Texas, while Big 12 rushing leader Bijan Robinson had 35 carries for 216 yards.
"I would never do 35 carries a game like they did with the guy at Texas, if you want to make it through four years," Patterson said. "You've got to be very careful about that. ... He caught four balls so he had 19 touches in the ballgame."
TCU quarterback Max Duggan ran 19 times for 154 yards and three TDs (3, 48 and 81 yards) against Tech last year.
AWAY FROM HOME: TCU, playing its first road game of the season, is 44-20 (.688 winning percentage) on the road since 2009. The Frogs have won in their last three trips to Lubbock.
EXTRA POINTS: The Red Raiders are 43-16 (.728 winning percentage) in night games at home since 2002. ... This is the fifth year in the renewal of the Battle for Saddle Trophy. That unique trophy was first presented to the winning team from 1961-70, then disappeared before a replica trophy was established in 2017.
