How to watch Texas Tech vs. Arizona State: Broadcast info, game notes, and more

It will be an interesting game in Lubbock this weekend as the Texas Tech football team hosts Arizona State. This is the 2024 Big 12 opener for both teams and the first Big 12 game ever for the Sun Devils.

Arizona State comes into the game 3-0. That's a surprise for many given that the Sun Devils were picked to finish last in the preseason Big 12 poll.

Still, ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham is trying to keep his team level-headed.

“The key is," he said "we’re the same team that we were before we played a game. We’re the same team we were in spring, in the fall. We’ve played a few games. That’s really about it. We’re the same team that needs to keep on getting better and better. The best opponents we’ve faced this year are in our future, not in our past. We have to get better every single week if we want to continue to have fun Saturdays.”

Hopefully, the Sun Devils don't have another fun Saturday this week in Lubbock. And Texas Tech fans will be tuning in to see how this toss-up game plays out. So let's look at the broadcast information and everything else fans need to know ahead of this game.

All game notes provided by TexasTech.com

• Texas Tech has won four straight home games and is 12-3 at Jones Stadium under Joey McGuire. Texas Tech’s 12-3 start at home under McGuire matches both Steve Sloan and Spike Dykes for the second-best record through 15 games in school history behind only E.Y. Freeland.

• With a win Saturday, Texas Tech would secure its 600th victory in program history. The Red Raiders previously secured their 500th all-time win on Nov. 1, 2008, with its memorable victory over No. 1 Texas.

• Texas Tech is 15-13 all-time in Big 12 openers as the Red Raiders have started their conference schedule with a loss in four of the past five seasons and seven of the last 10 years
  overall. The Red Raiders’ lone wins during that stretch came in 2016 versus Kansas, 2018, at Oklahoma State, and in 2022 with an overtime victory over Texas.

• Now in its 29th season as a Big 12 member, this will only be the 11th time the Red Raiders have started conference play at home. The Red Raiders are 6-4 in those games with all four of those losses coming to ranked opponents. Texas Tech last opened Big 12 play at home in 2022, rallying from a 14-point deficit to top No. 19 Texas, 37-34, in overtime.

• Texas Tech will face an unranked opponent to open Big 12 play for only the third time in the past eight years and just the 10th time in the past 12 seasons. The Red Raiders are 11-4 when opening Big 12 play against an unranked opponent, which includes a 4-0 mark in home games. The Red Raiders fell at unranked West Virginia, 20-13 a year ago in their Big 12 opener.

• Texas Tech is 17-11 all-time in Big 12 Conference home openers entering this weekend after rebounding from its loss at West Virginia with a 49-28 victory over Houston a year ago. The Red Raiders are a perfect 2-0 in Big 12 home openers under Joey McGuire as Texas Tech previously defeated No. 19 Texas in overtime to kick off league play in 2022.

• The matchup versus Arizona State represents only the fifth time since 2010 that the Red Raiders have hosted a nonranked opponent for its Big 12 home opener since 2010. Texas
  Tech is 13-3 against unranked opponents to open its home conference slate since joining the Big 12 in 1996.
